| Ereto, Ngorongoro Pastoralist Project |
|
The Ereto,
Ngorongoro Pastoralist Project (Ereto NPP) was active in Ngorongoro
District from 1998 to 2009. Ngorongoro District in Northern Tanzania is
the home to some 100.000 largely Maasai pastoralists practicing a mobile
and open range livestock production. The district is large and remote
and with limited access to government services. Poverty is widespread.
Ereto NPP was a donor funded (Danida) bilateral programme that for around 10 years supported poverty reduction among the pastoralists of the District. It focused on poverty reduction by assisting in such areas as improved water, veterinary services, women economic activities, restocking, building capacity and empowerment of local level institutions as well as supporting an improved policy dialogue on the understanding and future of pastoralism. |
A significant
part of the support has been provided within the Ngorongoro Conservation
Area, a part of the District where a semi-autonomous conservation
authority is having the upper hand in relation to all aspects of land
use. Tthe purpose of the programme has also been to promote pastoralism
as a sustainable land use that works perfectly well with sound
conservation activities.
Generally, the pastoral production sector in Tanzania is characterised by low level of government support, understanding and acceptance, and pastoralists (around 1½ million people in Tanzania) living from mobile pastoral production are facing increasing difficulties in surviving due to loss of land and lack of supportive policies. |
Accordingly,
it is important that lessons learned in relation to pastoralism and
pastoral development is being further used by a wider audience of
scholars and decision makers.
Ereto NPP did produce a range of relevant studies and documents that are of importance to understanding pastoralism and pastoral development in the area and beyond. On this webpage the relevant documents are made accessible to the general public. For each document there is a summary and the full documents can be downloaded. |
