Country: Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso
Sector: Agriculture, Trade
Background:
The objective was to generate real-time livestock trade data across informal cross-border corridors to help mitigate price volatility and support pastoralist livelihoods.
Approach:
We worked with 15 market monitors across border towns and pastoral hubs.
Weekly data was collected using SMS-based forms on herd movements, livestock prices, and trader feedback. Data was triangulated through focus groups and trader associations.
