Supporting pastoralism and livestock mobility to foster social cohesion and improved biodiversity, livestock farming, and access

Haho commits to strengthening the integration and social cohesion of migrant, displaced, and marginalized communities within the city. Haho attracts many ethnic groups from surrounding rural areas, which sometimes leads to social tension and violence within the city. To address these tensions, Haho’s project activities are grouped into two components. One component aims to improve economic inclusion and market sustainability for pastoralists arriving to Haho, including setting up market management committees and coordinating with other nearby city governments to manage 86 km of mobility corridors, grazing areas, and water ponds in the plateau region. The second component involves the organization of multi-stakeholder debates focused on farming and livestock mobility challenges in West Africa with the participation of local authorities, state service providers, development organizations, herders, and farmers.
