Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin on Burkina Faso – August–September 2025 (No. 27) 18/12/2025
Summary :
The Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin No. 27 assesses pastoral conditions in Burkina Faso during August–September 2025, the peak of the rainy season. Based on field surveys and satellite data, the report highlights generally good availability of pasture and water resources, with vegetation cover ranging from 60% to 90%. Livestock mobility is reduced, and animal concentrations are moderate to high, particularly around agricultural areas. However, regional disparities remain, with localized shortages of pasture and water in parts of western and central Burkina Faso. Although cereal prices declined slightly and livestock prices improved marginally, terms of trade continue to be unfavorable for herders. The bulletin also reports persistent cattle theft and localized conflicts, especially in border areas. Overall, pastoral conditions have improved compared to the previous period, but the report emphasizes the need to strengthen pastoral resilience, improve conflict prevention mechanisms, and enhance support to pastoral communities.

Report on Prioritization within the TNA Process for Adaptation 01/12/2025
Summary :
The report “Report on Prioritization within the EBT Process for Adaptation in Agriculture and Water Resources, Republic of Chad” examines priority climate-adaptation measures for Chad in the agriculture and water sectors. It is part of the EBT (Technology Needs Assessment) process to identify, prioritize and plan technologies suitable for climate change impacts. The document highlights structural constraints — lack of financial resources, limited institutional capacity, land-tenure barriers, insufficient information and awareness — that hinder technology deployment. It proposes an enabling framework to overcome these barriers, including strengthening relevant institutions, easing land-tenure procedures, implementing Information-Education-Communication (IEC) campaigns, and facilitating access to financing mechanisms. The goal is to enhance the resilience of agricultural systems and water-resource management against climate hazards.

Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin No. 36 (August–September 2025) 28/10/2025
Summary :
The Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin No. 36 (August–September 2025), published by Action Against Hunger – Mali Mission, provides an overview of pastoral conditions in Gao and Timbuktu regions. Seasonal rains have improved pasture availability, vegetation cover, and livestock health, easing tensions between herders and farmers. Access to water remains satisfactory on 61% of monitored sites. However, security challenges persist, with continued livestock thefts and extortion by armed groups. Market exchange terms remain unfavorable to herders, and institutional support for the pastoral sector is limited. The report calls for strengthening veterinary services, conflict prevention mechanisms, and sustainable management of rangeland resources to improve livelihoods and food security in northern Mali.

Bi-monthly Pastoral Surveillance in the Sahel 15/12/2025
Summary :
Issue 34 of the Sahel Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin highlights an overall improvement in pastoral conditions across the region during August–September 2025. Pasture and water availability is generally satisfactory, contributing to good livestock body condition. However, significant spatial disparities remain, with some areas experiencing low vegetation cover while others face excess water and flooding risks. Livestock markets are mostly accessible, yet rising animal prices combined with fluctuating cereal prices continue to negatively affect terms of trade for pastoralists in several locations. From a health perspective, outbreaks of animal and human diseases have been reported, requiring increased monitoring. Security conditions remain fragile in parts of the region, marked by recurrent livestock theft and increased pressure on pastoral resources due to the presence of displaced and refugee populations.
