    Monthly Report January 19 – February 19, 2002 Summary

    Monthly Report January 19 – February 19, 2002 Summary • Zambia continued to experience a generally normal to below-normal rainy season. The dry spell in the southern parts of the country is of great concern as this has extended into some high- producing districts in Southern Province (Choma District), Western Province (Kaoma District) and the southern parts of Central Province. Crop yields in these areas are expected to be significantly reduced as a result. In some areas, crops have passed the permanent wilting point. • Zambia’s neighboring countries of Malawi, Mozambique, and particularly Zimbabwe have also experienced well-below normal rainfall this season. • Zambia’s food security situation continues to be of great concern, as the availability of staple food (maize) remains limited this late into the marketing season. Many households are also having problems purchasing maize as a result of exceptionally high prices. • The World Food Program started its relief food distribution program on January 24. So far, progress has been good despite the slow rate of relief food being brought into the country. Out of the estimated 42,000 MT requirement, only 12,000 MT has been purchased in South Africa for distribution to Zambia. Response from donors has been slow. As of February 12, 1,800 MT of maize was received from South Africa, all of which has been moved to the targeted districts. 1.0 Rainfall and Crop Condition 1.1 Rainfall Generally, the rainy season in Zambia so far has been characterized by normal to below-normal rainfall. Normal rainfall has been confined to northern and central parts of Zambia.

    Adaptation to the effects of drought and climate change in Agro-ecological Regions I and II in Zambia 1 Adaptation to the effects of drought and climate change in Agro-ecological Regions I and II in Zambia Government of the Republic of Zambia United Nations Development Programme PIMS No. 3942 Adaptation to the effects of drought and climate change in Agro-ecological Regions I and II in Zambia Brief description The majority of Zambia’s farmers lack the capacity, resources and financial assistance to adapt to and overcome worsening climatic conditions. The Zambia National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) highlights that Zambian communities are vulnerable to climatic hazards (such as drought, flooding, extreme temperatures and prolonged dry spells) which precipitate widespread crop failure, negatively impact food and water security and, ultimately, affect the sustainability of rural livelihoods. Indeed, within the last 20 years, prolonged dry spells and shorter rainfall seasons have reduced maize yields to only 40% of the long-term average. Furthermore, based on a CO2 doubling scenario in these regions, estimates predict a yield reduction of approximately 66% under rain-fed conditions. The ability of the agricultural sector in Zambia to cope with increases in temperature and potential reductions in rainfall is negligible. Reasons include: i) low levels of investment ii) land degradation; iii) limited access to agricultural inputs such as fertilizer; and iv) a reduced labour force due to HIV/AIDS. To reduce the vulnerability of communities in AER I and II to climate change impacts, the project will take a two pronged-approach: i) mainstream adaptation into agricultural planning at national, district and community levels to make the case for increased investment in adaptation in the agricultural sector ii) test and evaluate the adaptation value of interventions that protect and improve agricultural incomes from the effects of climate change.
  • Case Study: Lusaka District Health Office, Zambia

    Case Study: Lusaka District Health Office, Zambia

    Learning from international experience on approaches to community power, participation and decision-making in health. Case Study: Lusaka district health office, Zambia Key features: This case study of work by the Lusaka District Health Office tells the story of sustained participatory approaches used since 2005 in urban Lusaka on participatory priority setting, planning, budgeting and health action by communities and frontline health workers on local health committees and on community health literacy that is now scaling up to national level. Features of the work that could potentially be adapted elsewhere, include The use of participatory reflection and action (PRA) approaches to organise community experience, analysis and action in health literacy and in mechanisms for dialogue between communities and health workers. Facilitating PRA in health committees for joint community and service planning and action. Building joint health services and community identification of needs and actions, with support for voluntary community roles and for community champions and voice to sustain the process. The work has sustained and spread due to various factors, including the social power and confidence built within communities from the PRA processes; a horizontal, rather than top down, spread; facilitating participation mechanisms involving elected community members and frontline health workers; providing forums for wider sharing of experience across localities; accessible online reporting of the work; and a committed leadership able to sustain and advance the processes. Introduction to the site and its practices: The Zambia government has had a commitment post 1990 to participation of stakeholders, including local communities, in health service planning and delivery. Sustained participatory approaches have been used in Lusaka urban, institutionalized to national level.
