Through a partnership with the Department of Range Resources Management and National University of Lesotho and ICRAF, which included comprehensive targetted stakeholder engagement to ensure content was tailored to the requirements of the target users, the first comprehensive training manual on climate-smart rangeland management for Lesotho has been produced. The content of the training material is structured to allow for department staff and resource managers in rangelands, both in Lesotho and more broadly across sub-Saharan Africa to both understand and be able to train farmers and rangeland users on climate-smart techniques to manage rangelands. The training manual is structured into four different core modules; introduction to rangelands, understanding climate risk and vulnerability, rangeland management and governance and monitoring rangeland condition. Each of these modules has several chapters with interactive training material and multiple visual aids on climate-smart rangeland management applicable to a wide audience of rangeland users across the sub-continent.
