| Abstract: | s global temperatures increase, more intense rainfall and more frequent droughts will have devastating effects on pastoral livelihoods. The aim of this study was to investigate pastoralists' perceptions on the impacts of climate variability on their livelihoods from 1971 to 2010. This study utilized household structured questionnaires. Statistical tests included t-test and Chi-square test ( χ 2 ). Statistically significant differences occurred between pastoralists and agro-pastoralists regarding the perceived trend of rainfall. This study recommends the strengthening of local institutions to be able to deal with impacts of climate variability and change |
