The Global Agenda of Action towards sustainable livestock sector development is organising two dialogues with Civil Society. The first one will take place in Ahmedabad in India from 27-29 September where it is hosted by MARAG; the second one will be organised together with UNEP and WISP and be held in Nairobi from 9-13 December. It is great that pastoralists are finally being heard and involved in policy processes – hopefully this will become standard practice at national levels as well!
