The IGAD borderland clusters—Karamoja (Cluster I), Moyale (Cluster II), and Mandera Triangle (Cluster III) are predominantly pastoral and agro-pastoral zones where livestock mobility across borders is central to livelihoods, trade, resilience, and food security. Seasonal migration to access or in search of pasture and water, coupled with dynamic formal and informal livestock trade, sustains millions of households in these regions. However, these same mobility dynamics
combined with porous borders, climate variability, recurrent droughts, insecurity, conflict over natural resources, weak infrastructure, and limited veterinary service coverage create high-risk conditions for the introduction and spread of priority Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs)
