Resource Conflict Institute - RECONCILE

Good morning. Rangelands are NOT marginal.
They are the backbone of climate resilience.
We don’t need more talk.
We need:
✔️ Systems thinking
✔️ Justice in mobility
✔️ Real investment
Let’s move ideas into action.

RECONCILE joins other stakeholders in commemorating the African Pastoralists Women Gathering (APWG) in Uganda in support of International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralism (IYRP) 2026. The gathering was convened under the rallying theme “Voices from the Rangelands: African Pastoralist Women Rising for Land Rights, Climate Justice, Equity, and Peace”. This woman gathering aims to strengthen the voices of African pastoralist women and girls to advance policy influence, and continental solidarity for pastoralist women. It is envisaged that the gathering will
1. Influence regional and national policy frameworks on land governance, pastoralism, and women’s rights by amplifying grassroots perspectives.
2. Facilitate cross-regional learning and storytelling across the Horn of Africa, Sahel, Southern Africa, and beyond, addressing shared challenges such as climate stress, gender inequality, and resource-based conflicts.
3. Co-develop a Pan-African Women’s Charter for Rangelands and Resilience, setting out shared values, demands, and a unified agenda for IYRP 2026 and beyond.
4. Strengthen transboundary networks of pastoralist women leaders, civil society actors, and policymakers to catalyze collective advocacy and peacebuilding.
5. Position pastoralist women as central actors in climate justice, land restoration, and community resilience, redefining their roles not only as caretakers but also as strategists and change agents.
