Strengthening local associations dealing with interests of pastoralists

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities. Agenda 21 recommends creating or strengthening village associations focused on economic activities of common pastoral interest (market gardening, transformation of agricultural products, livestock, herding, etc).
