This is a stakeholder submission prepared by a coalition of 24 pastoralists and huntergatherers’ Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), forums, networks and groups. The stakeholders submission is a compilation of primary and secondary sources of information, evidence and facts collected through consultative meetings and interviews with civil society organizations, public officials and community members, experts on pastoralism as well as members of the academia. More information was obtained from different credible sources including; the United Nations treaty bodies, United Nations special procedures, African Commission of Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR), Government reports, media as well as reports of fact-finding missions conducted by CSOs working in the pastoralists and hunter-gatherers areas affected in Tanzania and series of meetings of pastoralists and hunter-gatherers CSOs and National CSOs. These engagements were followed by a validation meeting attended by CSOs, forums, networks and groups to validate this UPR submission on September 11, 2015 in Arusha.
