The Chapter on Pastoralism depicted in the SDPRP can be mentioned as the main contribution made on the behalf of the pastoralists.

Roundtable on Drought and Famine in Pastoral Regions of Ethiopia
The current famine that has hit Ethiopia is the third in three decades, in addition to the bi-annual crises of food shortage. This chronic problem has made it necessary for the Forum to ask such questions as: what is there that can be done beyond immediate humanitarian relief? Can the country go on with a contentious famine that claims lives and destroys the meager economic base of its people? The Forum believes that the current drought and the impending famine in the country in general, and in the pastoral regions in particular, calls for debates on the fundamental issues of misconceptions and flaws within the prevailing macro-economic policy.

Proposed Pastoral Development Policy Recommendations
Pastoralists in Ethiopia like in the other African countries have continuously suffered from a long history of political, economical, and socio-cultural mariginalization. The pastoralists problems have been exacerbated by the recurrent and complex natural calamities such as drought, flood, disease etc. Due to both artificial and natural calamities, the pastoralists have emerged as the poorest of the poor. Today, the Federal Government of Ethiopia gives considerable attention reducing pastoral problems. The major policy changes so far include the constitutional right of pastoralists not to be displaced from their own land, and power decentralization to the Regions. The government has recently established Pastoralist Area Development Department (PADD) under the Ministry of Federal Affaires, and has assigned a Pastoral Affairs Standing Committee in the Parliament. In addition, a conference on Pastoral Area Development was launched for the first time in last April 2002. Because of the initiatives of the government to reformulate federal policy on pastoralism and the need to support such changes, Pastoralist Forum Ethiopia (PFE) thus proposes the following pastoral development policy recommendations.

A Chapter on Pastoralism 2002
The Federal Government of Ethiopia earlier prepared the Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (IPRSP). The Ethiopian IPRSP as it is presented by the government lacks representativeness and mentioned very little about poverty status and mitigation measures of the pastoral community and areas. However, the pastoralists need to have their voices heard and integrated to the center in decision making of national issues through representation including participation in the process of the PRSP. They should benefit from the PRSP, a policy of inclusiveness, consultation, and focus on poverty reduction strategies. Download full text
