30 January 2020, Kochunoi, Uganda - A Karamojong woman carries her child and gets ready for the day in front of her house at the village of Kochunoi, Uganda in the proximity of the Kenyan border on January 30, 2020. FAO 'Cross-border coordination' practices and set of interventions focus on revitalizing a tradition of resource and knowledge sharing between cross-border tribal groups that had been badly strained by years of violent, inter-ethnic strife, including armed cattle raids, in addition to the effects of a rapidly changing climate. Now, new agreements are in place to offer grazing opportunities across borders, share knowledge on animal health, and develop a joint drought response. As a result, cross-border livestock and grain trade has been restored, local communities are more empowered in government planning and have developed more resilience to climate change, and the health of cattle and other livestock has improved.
