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.

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.

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. 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.
