Pastoralist communities in Pokot and Turkana counties have devised grazing patterns in bid to end hostilities and cattle theft that has compromised security in the region.

In a historic move aimed at fostering peace and ending insecurity fueled by cattle rustling, the herders have moved to end confrontations over competition for scarce resources including pasture and water.
