This program was conceptualized out of a need to empower communities to better understand their environment through monitoring of the rangeland conditions using local assessors. This will be accomplished through a hybrid of indigenous and scientific knowledge. Milestones for the program are to document indigenous knowledge and collect scientific information and finally facilitate dissemination to the communities. The hybrid knowledge would then guide the future of the pastoralist and the rangeland. Members of this team are recruited from their communities as they are knowledgeable of the area and can comfortably interact with the elders to tap the indigenous knowledge. The program will have a centre where the information will be stored and accessed by the community as well as outsiders.South Rift Resource Centre

This is a community based women owned natural resource and research centre, a physical place that provides a centre for information storage and dissemination. The centre provides the community with a forum to engage with partners (scientists, practitioners) on knowledge creation, dissemination and application.
