Sharing/advocating

2024-10-17 12:28:09 UTC

(similar to Barbara's) We can share the great evidence and knowledge that this group collects with wider networks to help advocate for doing the right thing

unpacking land-water nexus - immediately relevant for pastoralists, but also for smallholders. To enable more synergies with the land tenure folks.

A question: Who is in this group can carry our messages into international meetings on water?

From Lyla

Have you linked with the Pastres project? Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Resilience – PASTRES – Research project learning with pastoralists about how to respond to uncertainty

Some of the recent PhDs may well be interested to engage with this initiative.

Would be good to link up African and South Asian debates and push back against dominant policy narratives.
