Pastoralists Call for Equal Prioritization of their Needs to Refugee Needs in Kenya

Kenya hosts the largest number of refugees in the world. These refu-gees live within pastoralists' com-munities with implications for pastoralists' livelihood. The two major refugees' camps are Dadaab in north-eastern Kenya and Kakuma town in north-west Kenya. The growing refugee in-flux in these areas have threatened the carrying-capacity of the frag-ile arid ecosystem leading to re-source scarcities, depleted envi-ronment, destabilised local econ-omy and increased violence.
