Transhumance pastoralism involves a very large number of individuals (20 million) and animals (70% of the region’s cattle (FAO). ​An important economic activity and a driver of regional development, transhumance has in the past decades been subject to significant upheavals. Climatic variability, demographic pressure, growing competition over scarcer resources, political volatility and insecurity have deeply affected transhumance routes, patterns and flows. ​The Central Transhumance Corridor (CTC), which links Sahelian countries to coastal countries, has been particularly affected by these changes resulting in recurrent conflicts between herder and farmer communities and the adoption of tension-inducing policies, including restrictions on transboundary movements by coastal countries.​ The TTT is part of a peaceful transhumance approach that combines data collection (TTT) and community stabilization and assistance The TTT is centered around four main components as shown in the adjacent figure: herders and cattle mapping, flow monitoring, early warning systems and individual surveys. Through these components, the TTT maps (in)formal transhumant corridors, monitors transhumance flows, and captures real-time information on events and conflicts related to livestock mobility throughout the region, which is then shared with local governance systems to prevent conflicts and/or mitigate tensions before they escalate into violent conflict. Data is collected following the transhumance calendar, and dashboards are generated either monthly or every three months and shared with local actors and governance mechanisms. IOM builds the capacity of representatives from local authorities, local communities, IDPs and nomadic herders to establish or strengthen inclusive, transparent and accountable decision-making processes. Additionally, the decisions that are taken within the various fora supported by IOM benefit a larger number of users; including local host communities, as well as those temporarily residing in or crossing the area. The way the activities are carried out improve mutual understanding and relations among the various groups, thus contributing to a greater social cohesion and stability. The TTT includes sex and age disaggregation data at the level of the counting. The conflict resolution mechanism is based on community engagement. In their study, the Central African Republic assessed the impact of transhumance-related conflicts and tensions directly on vulnerable populations (specially women and children). In addition, female herders are often chosen as focus group to better understand their perception of the impact of climate change on transhumance.
