The importance of setting aside grazing areas for livestock and implementing village land use planning in Tanzania were highlighted during a recent discussion between the country’s Minister of Livestock and Fisheries and the OLEGAPA livestock keeper’s association (OLKA).

The meeting, which was organized by a local non-governmental organization known as KINNAPA, brought together more than 180 participants on 14–15 May 2018 in Dodoma.
