Description of the doctoral fellow position

Healthy, functioning ecosystems are a prerequisite for human health and well-being. In the drylands of East Africa, pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities are highly reliant on ecosystem services for their livelihoods. In Drylands Transform (an SLU led project), we investigate the interlinkages between land health, livestock-based livelihoods, human well-being and land governance mechanisms to contribute to transformative change and sustainable development of the socio-ecological system in the drylands of East Africa.
