For Pastoralism – Against Hunger

Action Against Hunger supports pastoral communities in several countries across West and Central Africa, addressing complex challenges such as food insecurity, conflicts related to access to natural resources, the impacts of climate change, and a fragile security situation, in addition to contributing to the production of information on pastoralism.

These interventions aim to enhance the resilience and food security of these communities through an integrated approach that encompasses direct assistance, capacity building, and advocacy actions.
