    2021 Rural Livelihoods Assessment Masvingo Province Report

    Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) 2021 Rural Livelihoods Assessment Masvingo Province Report ZimVAC is Coordinated By Food And Nutrition Council (FNC) Housed At SIRDC: 1574 Alpes Rd, Hatcliffe, Harare. Tel: +263 242 862 586/862 025 Website: www.fnc.org.zw Email: [email protected] Twitter: @FNCZimbabwe Instagram: fnc_zim Facebook: @FNCZimbabwe 1 Foreword In its endeavour to ‘promote and ensure adequate food and nutrition security for all people at all times’, the Government of Zimbabwe continues to exhibit its commitment towards reducing food and nutrition insecurity, poverty and improving livelihoods amongst the vulnerable populations in Zimbabwe through operationalization of Commitment 6 of the Food and Nutrition Security Policy (FNSP). Under the coordination of the Food and Nutrition Council, the Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) undertook the 2021 Rural Livelihoods Assessment, the 21st since its inception. ZimVAC is a technical advisory committee comprised of representatives from Government, Development Partners, UN, NGOs, Technical Agencies and the Academia. Through its assessments, ZimVAC continues to collect, synthesize and disseminate high quality information on the food and nutrition security situation in a timely manner. The 2021 RLA was motivated by the need to provide credible and timely data to inform progress of commitments in the National Development Strategy 1 (NDS 1) and inform planning for targeted interventions to help the vulnerable people in both their short and long-term vulnerability context. Furthermore, as the ‘new normal’ under COVID-19 remains fluid and dynamic, characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, the assessment sought to provide up to date information on how rural food systems and livelihoods have been impacted by the pandemic.

    Cholera in Zimbabwe: Epidemiological Bulletin Number 12 Week 9 (22-28 February 2009) Foreword This is the 12th epidemiological bulletin to be issued since the onset of a countrywide Zimbabwe cholera epidemic first reported in August, 2008. Bulletins are to be published weekly to coincide with the end of an epidemiological week (Sunday to Saturday). Daily cumulative caseload updates are posted on the OCHA website http://ochaonline.un.org/Default.aspx?alias=ochaonline.un.org/zimbabwe The bulletin provides a weekly overview of the epidemic in Zimbabwe, including province by province data, to inform and improve the continuing public health response. It also provides guidance to agencies on issues relating to data collection, analysis and interpretation, and suggests operational strategies on the basis of epidemiological patterns so far. The WHO Team welcomes feedback and data provided by individual agencies. Given the scope of this epidemic, errors and omissions are inevitable: we will be grateful for any information that helps to rectify these.

    An Investigation Into the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Fallow Land and the Underlying Causes in Southcentral Zimbabwe

    Journal of Geography and Geology; Vol. 4, No. 4; 2012 ISSN 1916-9779 E-ISSN 1916-9787 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education An Investigation into the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Fallow Land and the Underlying Causes in Southcentral Zimbabwe Emmanuel Manzungu1 & Linda Mtali2 1 Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe 2 Department of Science Technology, Harare Polytechnic, Zimbabwe Correspondence: Emmanuel Manzungu, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe. E-mail: [email protected] & [email protected] Received: July 11, 2012 Accepted: August 10, 2012 Online Published: September 24, 2012 doi:10.5539/jgg.v4n4p62 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jgg.v4n4p62 Abstract The purpose of the study was to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of fallow land in Zimbabwean communal lands and the underlying causes against a backdrop of reports of an increasing proportion of agricultural land being left fallow, which has also been reported in other parts of Africa. Chivi district, that is located in the south central part of the country, was used as a case study. Landsat images complemented by field assessments were used to assess changes in fallow land between 1984 and 2010. Standard soil and social science analysis methods were used to assess the likely biophysical and/ or socio-economic causes. The proportion of fallow land was found to increase up to 51.5% during the period, mainly because of socio-economic rather than biophysical factors. Draught power shortage was ranked as the major cause (34%) followed by labor shortage (24%), lack of inputs (22%), and poor soil fertility (16%).

    1 Research Application Summary Evaluating the Level of Adoption Of

    Research Application Summary Evaluating the level of adoption of improved agrosilvopastoral technologies, factors affecting adoption and establishing the species and systems adopted among small holder farmers of Buhera and Mutasa Districts of Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe Chihota B.P., Mupanda K., Mrema M., Tagwira F. & Ajayi O.C. Background Two thirds of the rural populations in most countries of Sub-Saharan Africa subsist on less than US$1 a day. The farmers’ economies have weak linkages to the markets and they have little or no access to external inputs. The increasing cost of inputs and high transport costs make external inputs unaffordable for the smallholder farmer (Spencer, 2002). Inorganic fertilizer use has declined to 8kg/ha (NEPAD, 2006). Smallholder farmers cannot afford stock feeds for supplementing limited and poor quality pasture during the dry and cold season. Land degradation and siltation are an environmental concern that also reduces yields (Rattsø, 1996). Crop and livestock yields are low and declining. Countries like Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique and Botswana are affected and as a result, food insecure (Bohringer, 2002). Some agroforestry technologies have been shown to improve the soil and animal fodder availability (Dzowela, 1994; Govere, 2003). Agroforestry can improve crop and livestock production by providing relatively less costly, more affordable and locally available inputs for fodder and soil amendments to the smallholder farmer. Government departments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like World Agroforestry Centre (WAC) are scaling up agroforestry through training and distributing germplasm to the smallholder farmers in the region. Not much has been done on assessment of adoption and factors that affect adoption of agroforestry in different geographical areas and agricultural sectors in Zimbabwe.
