farm and pastor land in the study area of Afar region. Thus, this
research paper aimed to deliver empirical evidence on the links
between household perception regarding Prosopis juliflora, and
pastoral livelihood diversification strategy. Determinants were
empirically analyzed using multinomial logit model (MLOGIT) and two
step Tobit regression model (IVTOBIT). The results indicate that
the household perception vary widely over the sample, showing a
significant positive effect on their livelihood diversification.
Even if the majority of households prefer to stay on livestock
production, some sample households began crop production with
increasing returns. A strong positive correlation between the

between crop and livestock production. Accordingly these suggest
that perception of household that consider it as good and
livelihood diversification is conducive for controlling species
invasion, environmental and livelihood sustainability in the study
area.
