Description

Abstract: This study investigates development priorities of individuals living in arid and semi-arid areas of northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia that are predominantly used for pastoral production. Using a ranking exercise, individuals were asked which development interventions had been the most helpful in the past and to indicate their priorities for future development interventions. Results suggest there is relative consensus around a few key development interventions. The development priorities are not explicitly related to pastoral production, but rather focus on basic development needs such as human health, clean water, and access to education.
