Supporting local capacities for managing conflicts over natural resources in the Sahel : A review of issues with an annotated bibliography.
This document reviews the literature concerning conflicts over natural resources in pastoral and agro-pastoral systems in the Sahel. Section 1 highlights some of the features of conflict among competing resource users in pastoral and agro-pastoral systems and how these were dealt with in the past. The reasons for the increase in these conflicts in certain areas are then examined and the ways in which they are changing form and becoming more difficult to manage.
