For the past several years pastoral societies have experienced severe vulnerability to recurrent risks, shocks and trends that caused extreme livelihood deterioration and poverty. In order to sustain their survival pastoralists across the Horn of Africa have developed different adaptation and coping mechanisms. The way livelihoods changed, adapted or failed to adapt the challenges posed by the economic and ecological environment determines the food security status of the household. The purpose of this study was to investigate the types of vulnerability and coping strategies among the Karrayu pastoralists of Ethiopia. Primary data collected using interviews, focus group discussion and personal observation. Policy documents, books and journal articles referred to get secondary data. The finding indicates drought, flood, range land degradation, farm land fragmentation, animal disease and conflict are the major sources of vulnerability in the study area. Depending on the economic status of the household the major coping mechanisms employed by the community include: migration, consumption reduction, consumption of wild fruits, selling asset and selling fire wood or charcoal.
