For hundreds of years, people have made a living from livestock herding in rural Kenya. Today, their traditional way of life is increasingly burdened by the effects of climate change and population growth. In his doctoral thesis, Billy Jones examines why development aid projects in the region often fail – and how sustainable progress could instead be achieved with the help of local actors. Thirtee

In late June, the vice-chancellor made a decision concerning the issues that are to be worked on jointly within LU on the basis of RQ20. These issues are: recruitment and career paths, research infrastructure, interdisciplinary research, profiling and strong research environments, as well as follow-ups. Now, it is time for us to roll up our sleeves and tackle the challenges. In certain cases, we a
