Get exposure through peer to peer learning and ideas towards co-creating alternative methodological and analytical approaches in conducting research, resilience and humanitarian programs in drylands Explore the possibilities of establishing a network of emerging and future scholars to champion the privileging of pastoralists’ knowledge, assets and networks in research, policy and practice.
