Africa turns ppr commitment into investment push in Rome

Africa is shifting its livestock and pastoralism policy commitments into a concerted investment push during meetings held in Rome. The initiative centers on the vital economic and social role played by small ruminants—such as sheep and goats—which serve millions of African families as sources of food, income for education and healthcare, emergency savings, and a buffer against economic shocks.

This diplomatic and financial drive aims to scale up support and resources for the pastoral sector, recognizing its capacity to enhance household resilience across the continent. By engaging international partners and stakeholders in Rome, African representatives are working to translate broad policy pledges into tangible financial investments that secure this critical lifeline for vulnerable populations.
