Independent impact assessment report: Participatory Rangeland Management (PRM) in Kenya and Tanzania

This report comprises findings from an independent impact assessment of the
Piloting Participatory Rangeland Management project in Kenya and Tanzania. The
study was conducted in November and December 2021 by African Re search and
Economic Development Consultants (AFREDEC), contracted by ILRI Livestock CRP
(CGIAR Research Program). The main objective was to determine the impacts of
participatory rangeland management (PRM) on rangelands, environment, good
governance and management processes, security of rights to land and resources,
livestock production, gender issues, women’s empowerment and other social equity
aspects and on policy influence. The study identified key lessons learnt and best
practices and opportunities for scaling up.
The assessment applied a mixed-method approach comprising quantitative data
collected using household surveys and qualitative data collected using key informant
interviews and focus group discussions. In total, 2,000 household representatives
were interviewed through the survey, with almost 150 focus group discussion
participants and more than 40 key informants.
