Lessons learned from conflict management work in the Karamojong Cluster

This paper documents the changes that have taken place during the lifetime of the conflict management work in the Karimojong Cluster undertaken by the Interafrican Bureau for Animal Resources (AU/IBAR), whose mandate is to support and improve animal health and production in Africa. This project arose from veterinary interventions to control rinderpest and the establishment of sustainable community-based animal health systems in the Greater Horn of Africa. The paper outlines lessons learnt through field-based peacebuilding efforts.
