A more intensive process, supported by AfriScout Field Agents and Technical Advisors, complemented by a web-based management platform allowing for real-time performance monitoring and real-time pasture availability. AfriScout Regen has developed a successful approach to applying regenerative grazing at large scale, shared use grazing lands. It is taking the guesswork out of landscape level restoration projects and enabling insights and performance management currently not available elsewhere. This full suite of tools is being co-developed in a live ‘lab’ of over 1.4 million hectares and with feedback from 70 pastoral communities in southern Ethiopia, making it one of the largest regenerative grazing projects in the world.
Randomized control trials show that AfriScout Regen has led to significant changes in grazing and rangeland management activities. Households in participating communities are 91% more likely than control households to have a shared grazing plan they adhere to, and 80% more likely to feel confident that their community can manage their rangelands. Project areas report significant improvements in pasture quality and availability, as well as increasing biodiversity of flora and fauna because of rangeland management efforts. Regen leads to significant improvements in livestock health, condition and productivity because of better access to pasture, facilitated by grazing plans
A pastoralist information services platform. It is a native Android mobile application currently deployed across 60+ million hectares of grassland in Kenya, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Over 48,000 pastoralists have downloaded and used the app reaching over 2.3 million pastoralists.
AfriScout is proven to deliver improved herd condition, health and productivity. Users attribute the app to further reducing livestock deaths and contributing to preserving livestock condition during dry seasons. Users benefit from cost-savings (particularly on scouting) and increased income through increased productivity. With access to near-real-time pasture maps users can identify alternative grazing areas and experience less competition and conflict over access to grazing areas. Crowd-sourced wildlife alerts lead to fewer livestock predation incidents and reduce dangerous encounters for herders.
