Most nomadic communities in the country have, for the longest time, been traditionally pastoralists, where they rear and keep their livestock while at the same time moving from one point to another in search of pasture and water.
With prolonged droughts in recent years, many of the livestock keepers have lost millions of their livestock to hunger and diseases as the effects of climate change continue to bite.
Those who have been lucky enough to still have their animals alive have also been threatened by banditry and cattle rustling as communities fight for scarce resources to maintain their livelihoods.
While some people in these communities have ventured into farming as an alternative source of livelihood, being in the arid and semi-arid areas, there have been unreliable rains to sustain their crops to maturity where they can harvest good yields.
