Seasonal Calendar<br />
The following set of graphics illustrates type, importance and timing of specific tasks carried<br />
out by farming (Pokomo) and pastoralist (Orma) men and women, respectively – as<br />
elucidated by focal groups. They are largely self-explanatory, depicting organisation of<br />
Pokomo activities around the (double rainy season) farming calendar; and the dominance of<br />
livestock in Orma activities. Of particular note are: the amount of effort expended on crop<br />
protection (‘guarding’); and the incorporation of (limited, river bank) cultivation by Orma.<br />
