Security in Mobility: Advocating for Safe Movement as a Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for Pastoralists in the Horn and East Africa

About the Security in Mobility Inter-Agency Partnership

The Security in Mobility (SIM) initiative aims to reconcile pastoralist livelihood and security needs with broader regional security priorities. Security in Mobility is an inter-agency collaboration between the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Institute for Security Studies (ISS).

Working in partnership and consultatively with pastoralists across the Horn and East Africa, the Security in Mobility initiative advocates for appropriate and comprehensive responses to reduce the risks - conflict and displacement, - associated with pastoralist livelihood activities. Such responses are intended to promote climate change adaptation strategies for highly mobile and vulnerable populations in the Horn and East Africa.
