## Contribution

The study introduces a structured protocol for a scoping review on food environments and nutrition outcomes in African pastoralist communities.

## Key findings

- The protocol aims to define and characterize the food environment of African pastoralists.
- It will identify which aspects of the food environment have been studied in these settings.
- The review will map study designs and geographical coverage of relevant research.

## Abstract

This is the protocol for a Campbell scoping review. The objectives are as follows: (i) To define and characterize the food environment of pastoralists in Africa; (ii) To identify the domains of the food environment that have been studied in pastoralist settings in Africa; (iii) To assess the relationship between the food environment and food choice, dietary intake, and nutrition outcomes among pastoralists in Africa; and (iv) To map the study designs, methods, and geographical coverage of the studies.
