Poor people depend on the environment for their livelihoods and well-being. Improved management of the environment and natural resources contributes directly to poverty reduction, more sustainable livelihoods and pro-poor growth. To fight poverty, to promote security and to preserve the ecosystems that poor people rely on for their livelihoods, we must place pro-poor economic growth and environmental sustainability at the heart of our economic policies, planning systems and institutions. The PEI is a global UN programme that helps countries to integrate poverty-environment linkages into national and sub-national development planning, from policy making to budgeting, implementation and monitoring.

The export of live animals, hides, skins and chilled carcasses generates the foreign currency that the country depends on to feed its population. However, uncontrolled livestock disease outbreaks have kept threatening the livelihood of vulnerable pastoralism. It was in mitigation of this that The African Union's Intra-African Bureau of Animal Resources (AU-IBAR), in partnership with Veterinaires Sans Frontieres Germany implemented the LEISOM Project Produced by Cultural Video Foundation and Veterinaires Sans Frontieres Germany, Somalia 2012Media
