The document outlines a simulation exercise where a participant adopts the persona of Semir, an Ethiopian pastoralist. The scenario explores the challenges of managing livestock during droughts, specifically the risks associated with a lack of advance information on water, vegetation, and weather forecasts. It also presents a scenario where the character is offered new information and community initiatives, such as vegetable gardening and credit for women, to prompt discussion on how such options might be received.

• The character Semir identifies that a lack of advance information regarding rain forecasts and the condition of water and vegetation makes livestock movement feel "fraught with risk".
• Pastoralists may miss community meetings regarding drought because they are not informed or because the meetings are inaccessible while they are "tending the animals" in grazing lands.
