HISTORY OF SECTOR – LIVESTOCK INTERTWINED WITH CULTURE
Historically, livestock production and pastoralism are the bedrock of Somaliland’s economy. Indeed, livestock played aa prominent role in Somaliland’s history where there was no centralised political authority and governance was based upon customary law (xeer). Disputes were often resolved through arbitration and negotiation between families and clans. The dominant mode of economic production was nomadic pastoralism: families migrated with their herds to where pasture and water could be found. The living standard of nomadic pastoralists was (and still is) almost wholly dependent upon the natural resources that support their livestock. It is for this reason that the cyclical droughts that take place in Somaliland’s regions devastates the economy annually. Although a smaller proportion of the population are pastoralists today, they still make up around 35% of the population.

ROLE OF LIVESTOCK IN SOMALILAND
Livestock plays a crucial role in Somaliland’s economy. Among rural communities in Somaliland, livestock still serves as the primary exchange market where sheep, camels and cows are bartered. An example of the importance of Livestock can be found in the large outdoor Livestock market in Hargeisa funded by the European Union and considered one of the largest livestock markets in East Africa. With increased investment, smart regulation, infrastructure development and sector coordination, Somaliland has ample opportunities to capitalize on the growth of the livestock sector in the Middle East and other regions of the Muslim world, while supporting its own growing local demand.
