Several factors emerged as the drivers of moving out of previous location and settling in the current location. Access to social services, increasing opportunities of income generation, access to cultivable land, and living in closer proximity to family/kin or clan were some that emerged. The relative importance of these across the weredas studies also showed variability. For instance the movement to and around Yabello was not driven by opportunity for daily labor, whereas it that was true in moving to Moyalle and Dire weredas. About 89 and 95% (in Moyalle and Dire respectively) of the respondents indicated that their move was driven by two main factors: opportunity for daily labor and opportunity to diversity through non- pastoral activity.

Question posed on the three most important markets indicated that in weredas like Moyalle there were three market places but the main reported by 84% of the respondents was Moyale market. For drop outs in Yabello the most visited market places were Haro Beke (52%), Ele Waye (24%), and 45
Yabelo (14%). The rest accessed Surpa and Dugda Dawa market places. Households in Dire had only one market place-Dubluke market. Overall the number of times/week the households visited any market place were 3, 1 and 3 for Moyalle, Yabello, and Dire respondents, respectively. The main purpose for visiting the market places was purchase of food and grain (84%) followed by sale of charcoal and woods, purchase of tea and sugar. Table 8.

The proportion of households that indicated improved access had risen compared to the time prior to their movement and now. Particular attention is the access to education, health services, and clean water. Over 90% of the respondents indicated that there was an increased access. There was also a positive trend in the asset ownership (Table 10). 46
