As Ethiopian pastoralists venture further south in search of water and grazing land, conflicts with Kenyan pastoralists and fishermen are intensifying. Given their trans-boundary and protracted nature, these conflicts pose a particular challenge to local peace building and disarmament efforts.

Priorities for Ending Extreme Poverty and Promoting Shared Prosperity
Reports & ResearchTraining Resources & ToolsMarch, 2016Ethiopia, AfricaThis Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) identifies the binding constraints to reducing extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity in Ethiopia.
