West and Central Africa — Regional report on the transhumance tracking tool (January 2024)

Cross-border transhumance is a long-standing traditional pastoral practice in West and Central Africa (WCA) whereby herders migrate seasonally, crossing borders with their livestock, in search of water and pasture. In a region characterized by long dry seasons, livestock mobility is an important form of adaptation, helping to build resilience to the climatic, economic and security risks and vulnerabilities faced by the region's herders.

This report aims to present, in a non-exhaustive way, the main results obtained by the implementation of the Transhumance Tracking Tool since its first implementation in 2019, up until June 2023.
