The project's central aim is to strengthen the smallholders' access to markets and the competitiveness of functioning and emerging agricultural commodities. The Public Disclosure Authorized project would therefore focus on high potential agricultural areas and will adopt a value chain approach to make sure that all levels of the chains are operating efficiently and creating increased value added. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Component 1: Support to Farmers and Agribusiness Enterprises 33.16 Component 2: Institutional Development 3.87 Component 3: Project Management and Coordination 2.55 Overall Ratings Public Disclosure Authorized Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Low Public Disclosure Copy Implementation Status Overview Page 1 of 8 Public Disclosure Authorized The World Bank Report No: ISR13543 The project continues to be implemented satisfactorily and the progress made towards meeting the Project Development Objectives (PDO) also continues to be satisfactory. Among the many ADSP contributions to date to Zambia's agricultural development and in relation to project specific key indicators are: (a) 130,845 beneficiaries have been reached, significantly surpassing the 65,000 beneficiaries originally targeted at project closure; (b) By the end of August 2013, with the increases in smallholder households growing targeted commodities, represented about 50 per cent above target; this is without including maize but other crops in diversified farming systems; (c) The rural road improvement works has been completed in selected high priority district and feeder roads of economic importance in agricultural production in Choma, Chongwe, Chipata, Katete and Lundazi districts and under the OPRC contracting, 1,131 kilometers of roads are continuing to be maintained. In those districts a recently concluded impact assessment indicated average household income growth from K3,900 to K21,800 per household and that 1200 jobs have been created with the volume of traffic multiplying almost four fold; (d) about 47,590 beneficiaries have been reached and more than 10,000 small holder farmers have been trained in advanced technologies associated with value addition, product development and quality improvement while creating about 75 new jobs through the MIIF matching grant fund while over 6,700 existing and emerging farmers have benefited from the Enterprise Development Fund supported activities in different agricultural value chains; and (e) more than 1,800 tons of crop seeds were tested in 2012 in the newly established Choma Seed Control and Testing Laboratory supported by ADSP while the support to Cotton Development Trust (CDT) has led to a three- dimensional increase in pre-basic seed cotton production from 19.2 metric tons in 2005 to 65.8 metric tons in 2012. The project successfully organized the Fourth ADSP Conference in December 2013 to share the ADSP achievements, knowledge and Public Disclosure Copy lessons recorded through the MIIF matching grant projects, and to interact with the private and public stakeholders involved different value chains.

  • The Case of Honey in Zambia the Case
    Small-scale with outstanding economic potential enterprises woodland-based In some countries, honey and beeswax are so important the term ‘beekeeping’ appears in the titles of some government ministries. The significance of honey and beeswax in local livelihoods is nowhere more apparent than in the Miombo woodlands of southern Africa. Bee-keeping is a vital source of income for many poor and remote rural producers throughout the Miombo, often because it is highly suited to small scale farming. This detailed Non-Timber Forest Product study from Zambia examines beekeeping’s livelihood role from a range of perspectives, including market factors, production methods and measures for harnessing beekeeping to help reduce poverty.

  • Studies for Enhancement of Strategies for the Control of Rabies in Zambia Chiho KANKEO1
    Global Leadership Training Programme in Africa 2014 RESEARCH REPORT Studies for enhancement of strategies for the control of rabies in Zambia Chiho KANKEO1 1 Hokkaido University, Graduate School of Veterinary Medicine, Research Center for Zoonosis Control, Unit of Risk Analysis and Management, Doctoral course 2nd grade The University of Zambia, 2nd December, 2014 – 30th April, 2015 1 Summary (English) The purpose of this study is to perform risk assessment of rabies infection in the Republic of Zambia (Zambia). Risk assessment of rabies virus infection will lead to cost-effective control measures for rabies, and the control measures will be implemented as risk management cooperating with the University of Zambia and the relevant authorities. As the first step of the research, in order to grasp the current situation on the occurrence of rabies and its control programmes in Zambia, a survey on the vaccination status and antibody retention ratio against rabies virus in domestic dog population, and a KAP survey against dog rabies and its control among dog owners were conducted. Furthermore, information on the rabies situation in Zambia was collected from the relevant authorities regarding the rabies control measures. The survey was conducted in two different areas which were Mazabuka and Monze districts in Southern Province, and Lusaka district in Lusaka Province. A total of 736 dogs were vaccinated and 265 canine sera were collected through mass vaccination in Mazabuka and Monze districts. In Lusaka district, a total of 278 canine sera were collected visiting households with dog(s) and 224 KAP survey questionnaires were collected at the same time.

  • OP6 SGP Zambia CPS , Baseline Assessment
    1 GEF-SGP OP6 ZAMBEZI LANDSCAPE BASELINE ASSESSMENT REPORT Mulungushi University Kabwe March 2016 1 2 Executive Summary This GEF-SGP OP6 Zambezi Landscape Baseline Assessment report is a response to the call by the United Nations Development Programme Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (UNDP GEF SGP) for managing the environment and resources in Zambia. The call aims at supporting the creation of global environmental benefits and the safeguarding the global environment through community and local solutions that complements and adds value to national and global level actions. The baseline report attempts to provide the general environmental outlook of the Zambezi Catchment referred to as Zambezi landscape. Key areas of focus included Biodiversity, International Waters, Climate Change, Land Degradation and Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). These were analysed in the Zambezi Landscape covering Mwinilunga in North-Western, Sioma- Nangweshi in Western and Sinazongwe and Chirundu in Southern Provinces. This coverage represents the most parts of the Zambezi river catchment which is very important for cultural, fishery, touristic and hydro power generation for Zambia. Under this study, the landscape was categorised into three parts, Upper Zambezi, Middle and Lower Zambezi Landscapes. The baseline study findings reveal the status of the Landscape. In the upper Zambezi landscape of Mwinilunga district in North Western Province, the biodiversity is rich with thick forests, receiving high rainfall of over 1000 mm annually. There have been no significant variations in the amount of rainfall received over the past decade. Beekeeping is the one of the major livelihood activities with over 5000 beekeepers who largely practice traditional beekeeping by making hives using tree barks.
