Pastoralists’ Indigenous Knowledge (IK) and
practices enables them to make good use of
resources within the rangelands for livestock
production.
In order to preserve and incorporate IK into
development interventions, there is need to
understand the critical role that IK plays in
the overall process of sustainable
development.
This study documents indigenous knowledge
and practices and their role in effective
management of commonly shared resources
in the semi arid West Pokot County in Kenya.
