The decision to move is mainly triggered by drought (64%) followed by conflict (Table 5). However, both drought and conflict singly or in combination are the driving factors to movement of the households to the current location. Over the years the nature and extent of conflict has changed, and more so its role in triggering movement of pastoral drop outs has increased in importance. The decision to move to a new location for settlement is made at individual, group and local government levels. However, the choice of the location is made mainly by the individual and group (90%). These households (85%) move to their new location alone and the family joins later. The majority of the households locate themselves within the wereda, but few others move to adjacent weredas. In Moyalle 22% of the respondents moved from a PA within the wereda. The rest came from adjacent weredas and distant wereda (Liben, Arero) and also cross border from Somalia and Kenya. Yabello wereda hosted 60% of the drop out respondents that came from PAs within; others came from Bulehora and Burji weredas. 78% of the respondents in Dire were from the wereda itself, the rest came from other wereda-50% of these are from Yabello.

The community perceives the wealth class under three major categories, namely Qolle/ Dega; Jidugelessa; and Duressa (Table6). The Qolle/Dega category contains those with no animals and those with a cattle holding of less than four. These are poor and very poor categories. The distribution of the respondents across these wealth categories, prior to movement and now, shows a clear picture. In all of the study weredas the respondents showed a distribution across all wealth classes. For instance half of the Moyalle respondents were under the category Qolle/Dega. The remaining fell in the middle and well off category. However as the pressure mounted and the asset base was hit, at the time of the interview these groups were all under the poor and very poor category. Table 6.
