Forest loss is caused by a mix of factors that are not well understood, and their combined effects act to either directly drive forest cover loss or interact with other or influences. In order to understand the drivers and their interactions a study was commissioned to provide a preliminary understanding of drivers of deforestation and the potential for forest types (Fanshawe 1971; White 1983); to differ REDD+ in Zambia; to assess the extent of current substantially in the key drivers of deforestation consumption of forest products, forest production (ZFAP 1998); and have diverse cultural and socio- and development trends as well as potential future economic settings.

Abstract Zambia is one of the countries in Africa with a high frequency of land conflicts. The conflicts over land lead to tenure insecurity. In response to the increasing number of land conflicts, the Zambian Government has undertaken measures to address land conflicts, but the measures are mainly curative in nature. But a conflict sensitive land governance framework should address both curative and preventive measures. In order to obtain insights about the actual realities on the ground, based on a case study approach, the research examined the role of existing state land governance framework in improving tenure security in Lusaka district, and established how land conflicts affect land tenure security. The research findings show that the present state land governance framework is malfunctional which cause land conflicts and therefore, tenure insecurity. The research further reveals that state land governance is characterised by defective legal and institutional framework and inappropriate technical (i.e.

Running from October 2009 to September 2014, COH III is implemented by FHI 360 in partnership with Afya Mzuri, Zambian Health Education and Communication Trust (ZHECT), and the Zambia Interfaith Networking Group on HIV and AIDS (ZINGO). A community-driven and community-based project, COH III aims to decrease HIV transmission, morbidity and mortality in border and transit districts. One of the main strategies is to provide comprehensive HIV-prevention services and behavior and social change interventions. A second strategy is to strengthen referral networks and linkages with organizations that provide HIV care and treatment, as well as those offering legal protection and economic support for women who are at high-risk of contracting HIV and are affected by HIV and AIDS. Through facilities and mobile sites, COH III supports HIV counseling and testing, screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, as well as family planning services. Counseling and testing is also offered by health care providers and lay counselors who go door-to-door within communities. This service, which incorporates information about sexually transmitted infections, reproductive health, nutrition and other health areas, is of particular value to disabled people and other marginalized groups. While the sites in which this program was carried out are supported by USAID funds through the COH III project, the documentation of this work was partially funded by FHI 360 and the content does not represent the views of USAID.

The Opportunity Costs of REDD+ in Zambia FINAL REPORT Saviour Chishimba (Lead Author) Monica Chundama Akakandelwa Akakandelwa 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The directors and staff of Even Ha’Ezer Consult Limited are indebted to Mr. Deuteronomy Kasaro and Mrs Maurine Mwale of the Forestry Department and Dr. Julian Fox and Ms. Celestina Lwatula of the UN-REDD Programme at FAO for providing the necessary logistical support, without which, the assignment would not have been completed. Saviour Chishimba Chief Executive Officer Even Ha’Ezer Consult Limited EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Preserving forests entails foregoing the benefits that would have been generated by alternative deforesting and forest degrading land uses (for example agriculture, charcoal burning, etc). The difference between the benefits provided by the forest and those that would have been provided by the alternative land use is the opportunity cost of avoiding deforestation and forest degradation. Foregoing the economic benefits that come with deforestation and forest degradation will only make sense to policy makers and the general population if alternatives that are advanced under REDD+ offer sufficient sustainable benefits.

  • Livelihood Zones Analysis Zambia
    Improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers LIVELIHOOD ZONES ANALYSIS A tool for planning agricultural water management investments Zambia Prepared by Mukelabai Ndiyoi & Mwase Phiri, Farming Systems Association of Zambia (FASAZ), Lusaka, Zambia, in consultation with FAO, 2010 About this report The AgWater Solutions Project aimed at designing agricultural water management (AWM) strategies for smallholder farmers in sub Saharan Africa and in India. The project was managed by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and operated jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI) and International Development Enterprise (IDE). It was implemented in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia and in the States of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal in India. Several studies have highlighted the potential of AWM for poverty alleviation. In practice, however, adoption rates of AWM solutions remain low, and where adoption has taken place locally, programmes aimed at disseminating these solutions often remain a challenge. The overall goal of the project was to stimulate and support successful pro-poor, gender-equitable AWM investments, policies and implementation strategies through concrete, evidence-based knowledge and decision-making tools. The project has examined AWM interventions at the farm, community, watershed, and national levels. It has analyzed opportunities and constraints of a number of small-scale AWM interventions in several pilot research sites across the different project countries, and assessed their potential in different agro-climatic, socio-economic and political contexts. This report was prepared as part of the efforts to assess the potential for AWM solutions at national level.
