Abstract: The development priorities of individuals living in 11 communities in the arid and semi-arid rangelands of southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya are examined. The econometric analysis of their responses has shown that variation in ranking of future priorities is mainly pushed by variation across communities. The result has given support to community-based method to priority setting.
