Participatory rangeland management (PRM) builds the capacity of communities in pastoral areas to better plan, manage and govern their lands. Communities lead the process, and a rangeland management institution (RMI) is strengthened or established as the responsible authority for PRM. Originating in Ethiopia, PRM has been developed and improved over many years and expanded to countries in East Africa. Under the Livestock and Climate Initiative, the focus has been on strengthening gender and social equity initiatives within PRM, building capacities for scaling and influencing the policy environment. Today with support of the Livestock and Climate Initiative PRM is being implemented to varying degrees across more than 2 million hectares in Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania, with opportunities ahead for it to expand to other countries across the continent. In Kenya and Ethiopia some of the sites are co-implemented with the project HEAL (One Health for Humans, Environment, Animals and Livelihoods) and AICCRA (Accelerating Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa).
