Conclusions of review - The application of PRM to date has failed to contribute to the strengthening of an enabling environment for the process including land resource tenure security. PRM is not well integrated within government structures and government support for the process remains weak. - PRM has worked well in improving local level planning processes including those involving multi-stakeholders and in strengthening local governance structures. To some degree it has contributed to the improving of rangeland productivity through rangeland rehabilitation activities, however this requires much greater investment. - Organisations implementing PRM have failed to adequately measure impacts or to provide baselines from which impact can be measured. Unless this is addressed it is challenging to assess whether PRM has been successful or not.

Stages and steps of PRM

Mapping Rangeland resource mapping is an important first step in understanding rangeland resource as well as contributing to a recognition of pastoral land use through the documentation process

Summary of process in Ethiopia • Mapping and rangeland resource assessment • Establishment of Rangeland Management Council • Development of Rangeland Management Plan • Signing of Rangeland Management Agreement • Limited implementation

Mapping in Tanzania

Summary of process in Tanzania • Mapping of rangeland resources (and rangeland resource assessment) • Village council, grazing committee, Village land use planning/joint village land use planning; • Livestock keepers association established and issuing of Certificate of Customary Rights of Occupancy • Need to do Rangeland Management Plan • Need to implement RMP

Joint land use agreement and issuing of CCRO
