Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Ensure equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

Recognize and protect the diverse tenure and production systems upon which people’s livelihoods depend, including the communal and customary tenure systems of smallholders, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, fisher folks, and holders of overlapping, shifting and periodic rights to land and other natural resources, even when these are not recognized by law, and whilst also acknowledging that the well-being of resource-users may be affected by changes beyond the boundaries of the land to which they have tenure rights.

Diverse Tenure Systems

Mission

CORET PASTORALIST's mission is to work in partnership with all the major stakeholders in enhancing and ensuring the development and implementation of sustainable traditional stock breeding policies and programmes, and in protecting land and environment in Africa. 

Objectives

CORET's main objectives are to promote traditional animal husbandry for its evolution for greater productivity, in view of diminishing natural resources, land management and proper utilization, conflict management and resolution mechanisms in the Sahelian and Sudanese region; to provide mutual support amongst stockbreeders in order to improve the viability and profitability of stockbreeding; to regenerate commendable traditional values of stockbreeders; and to liaise with public and private organisations in the region to improve the knowledge of stockbreeders on livestock husbandry, breeding, genetics and artificial insemination techniques.

Constituencies

CORET PASTORALIST is a world class organisation dedicated to the reduction of poverty and other forms of inequality and wealth creation, through the promotion of environmentally sustainable traditional livestock, resources development, and better management of pastoralism in Africa. The organisation works closely with governmental institutions and the media to influence and improve national policies for traditional stockbreeding.
