Pastoral mobility predates the imposition of international boundaries and in many countries transboundary movements continue to contribute to pastoral resilience. Pastoralists move their herds across international borders for a number of reasons, including to access pasture and water resources, to exchange breeding stock in an effort to diversify the herd gene pool, to pursue cross-border trade, and to manage drought and other risks. Movements may be made on a daily, seasonal, annual or occasional basis. Cross-border mobility delivers secondary benefits by creating economic and social ties, strengthening communication, providing access to productive resources, and allowing pastures in one location to be rested and improved.
