African Youth Pastoral Initiative (AYPI)
CONTEXT
The Year 2026 has been declared the Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) by the United Nations. In preparation for this a series of consultations with pastoralist youth across the world will take place over
the next three years to develop a vision for pastoralism in the face of climate change. A sustainable yet
forward-looking pastoralism can bring adaptation, mitigation and economic growth benefits. We invite you to come together with other pastoralist youth to start developing that vision!
VISION
Explore rangelands and pastoralist communities in different regions of the world!
Find out how rangelands and pastoralists contribute to
culture, economy and environmental health!
See the beauty of the rangelands and listen to stories of the people who care for them!

Tanzania and Ethiopia. Participants are expected to fully participate for the three days, sharing
experiences, knowledge and skills, whilst also being open to learn from others including practical
examples in the field to equip participants with climate change mitigation strategies and adaptation
options. It will also be a space to talk about challenges and opportunities of pastoralism among youth,
building up rapport and critical mass, with opportunity to join CSAYN (Climate Smart Agriculture Youth
Network) and the IYRP international support group after the event. - For more information check here >>>
