Biomass Production in 2025: Analysis and Outlook for 2026 04/11/2025
Summary :
This Action Against Hunger report assesses biomass production in northern Côte d’Ivoire (Bagoué, Bounkani, Folon, Poro, and Tchologo regions) during the 2025 season. Findings show a marked improvement compared to 2024, with production levels equal to or above the 25-year average. Departments such as Ferkessédougou and Minignan nearly reached historical maxima, while M’Bengué and Ouangolodougou remained below average. The report highlights the strain on pastoral resources due to cross-border transhumance and inflows of herders from Burkina Faso and Mali. The authors recommend maintaining monitoring systems for pastoral zones, strengthening awareness among host and transhumant communities, and guiding herders toward areas with higher biomass potential to ensure sustainable management of grazing resources.

Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin No. 33 (June–July 2025) 28/10/2025
Summary :
The Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin No. 33 (June–July 2025), published by Action Against Hunger (ACF), reports a gradual improvement in pastoral conditions with the onset of the rainy season across the Sahel. Vegetation growth and water replenishment have enhanced forage and watering availability. Livestock body condition is assessed as fair, with some reported animal diseases but no major outbreaks. Cattle movements remain limited, though some returns and forced displacements continue due to insecurity. Cereal and livestock prices have slightly increased, resulting in unfavorable terms of trade for herders. The report also highlights the persistent vulnerability of displaced households and the need for stronger support to the pastoral sector.

Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin for Northern Côte d’Ivoire – August–September 2025 (No. 6) 19/12/2025
Summary :
The Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin for Northern Côte d’Ivoire (August–September 2025) assesses pastoral conditions in the Bounkani and Tchologo regions during the rainy season. It highlights a generally favorable availability of pasture and water resources, supported by regular rainfall, although localized shortages persist in areas such as Diawala, Nafana, and Youndouo. Overall animal health is considered satisfactory, despite isolated disease outbreaks in zones with high livestock concentration. The bulletin also points to a fragile security context, characterized by recurrent cattle theft and localized incidents, particularly in Bounkani. The influx of refugees from Ghana increases pressure on natural resources and heightens the risk of social tensions. From an economic perspective, markets remain accessible, but terms of trade deteriorate in Bounkani, indicating a decline in pastoral purchasing power. The report calls for strengthened community monitoring, improved animal health surveillance, and enhanced cross-border coordination to anticipate emerging risks.

Description of the cattle and small ruminant trade network in Senegal 04/11/2025
Summary :
This study maps Senegal’s cattle and small ruminant trade network using 2020 sanitary certificates (LPS). Applying temporal network theory, it identifies areas most vulnerable to disease transmission, such as Foot and Mouth Disease. The findings show that livestock mobility—driven by climate, markets, and religious events (Tabaski, Grand Magal)—shapes the dynamics of disease spread. Static models tend to overestimate transmission speed, while temporal analysis highlights key “sentinel nodes” for early warning systems. Strengthening cross-border coordination and improving regular data collection are crucial for effective surveillance and control of transboundary animal diseases in West Africa.
