Communal land use planning ensures equitable access to and reserves prime grazing areas for dry season. Facilitating discussion and agreement with elders on the use of these areas contributes to peaceful relations, reducing likelihood of violent livestock raids. 

Livestock loans are complemented with animal husbandry and family health training. This contributes to livestock survival and enhances the benefit from the livestock investment. Family health training includes reproductive health, family planning, gender-based violence, and child health and nutrition. Trained women become health advocates in their village.

Livestock groups composed of widows from communities in conflict have integrated peacemaking. We facilitate conflict resolution, and each woman demonstrates reconciliation by passing on offspring to a woman of the ‘enemy’ tribe, which was responsible for killing her husband and stealing her livestock. Other times, a livestock grant is made to desperate households, such as victims of conflict who lost homes and livestock, and hungry moms who lost the ability to feed their family due to multi-year drought.
