Co-Designing African Pastoralist Resource Management

Pastoral communities have a wealth of knowledge on locating resources, treating their livestock, and forecasting weather patterns. That notwithstanding, enabling them with technology can help extend the finite resources of human memory, energy, and ability to predict phenomena. This project explores how co-designing with pastoralists in Kenya and Namibia led to the creation of an application to support this community need.
