Interesting and relevant themes
The themes of this symposium are particularly important to East Africa’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL). This is a great opportunity to bring to the fore the experience, lessons, and emerging practices in service to rangelands and livestock-based livelihoods.
The three major themes of the symposium are:
1. Land Tenure
2. Rangelands rehabilitation and management
3. Livestock to markets
Presenters
ECHO East Africa has confirmed experienced presenters with relevant presentations as keynote speakers. However, ECHO also welcomes others who may address these three themes described above. Posters are also welcome on these and other themes. From all presenters we need for the symposium booklet (a) a title, (b) 3 sentences on your theme, and (c) 3 sentences on your bio-data. Please also suggest to ECHO East Africa most potential presenters from among your network.

Directions to Nanyuki from Nairobi:
Specific information on ground transport from Nairobi to Nanyuki - there are 9-seater Nissan buses which ply express frequently throughout the day, daily, from the Nairobi City Centre Accra Road 2NK (Tea Room) opposite National Archives, to Nanyuki - a 4hr trip for approx. Ksh 1,000. This seems your best bet for low cost ground transport unless you are a group. Then, you might take the taxi recommended for Ksh 8000-8500 one-way; which is good value especially if a few people travel together.
