The project is funded in part by the Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security Program (CCAFS) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The Maasai filmmakers work was shared at local meetings, and will be adapted into a collaborative film that will present the variety of views of stakeholders in the East African drylands.
