The Technical Annexes were extensively discussed at a workshop held at Lilayi Lodge, Lusaka, Zambia on October 30 and 31, 2007 and were redrafted taking into account the discussion at the workshop as well as comments received following their posting on the CIFOR website in September 2007. The Technical Annexes were prepared by a team comprised of Charles Jumbe, Sam Bwalya, Madeleen Husselman, Manyewu Mutamba, Almeida Salomão, Frank Matose, Ravi Hegde, Gary Bull, Will Cavendish, Bruce Campbell, Charlie Shackleton, Jeanette Clarke, Paddy Abbot and Alan Ogle. Their institutional affiliations are noted in each Annexes. In addition to the feedback provided by extensive review and discussion at the Lilayi workshop, Technical Annexes are in the process of being independently peer reviewed. This work was funded primarily by the World Bank-administered Trust Fund for Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development (financed by the Governments of Finland and Norway) and by the Multi-donor Program on Forests (PROFOR). Additional staff time was contributed by CIFOR through the SIDA- funded dry forests project.

  • 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.

    The Opportunity Costs of REDD+ in Zambia This assignment was undertaken on request by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations in Zambia under contract Number: UNJP/ZAM/068/UNJ – 09 – 12 - PHS Team Director: Saviour Chishimba Consultant: Monica Chundama Data Analyst: Akakandelwa Akakandelwa Technical Team Chithuli Makota (REDD+) Edmond Kangamugazi (Economist) Saul Banda, Jnr. (Livelihoods) Authors: Saviour Chishimba (Lead Author) Monica Chundama Akakandelwa Akakandelwa Citation: Chishimba, S., Chundama, M. & Akakandelwa, A. (2013). The Opportunity Costs of REDD+ in Zambia. The views expressed in this document are not of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, but of the consulting firm. 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.

Chabatama Department of History, University of Zambia E-mail: [email protected] December 2009 Vulnerability and Resilience of Social-Ecological Systems RIHN Research Project E-04 Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) Inter-University Research Institute Corporation, National Institutes for the Humanities 大学共同利用機関法人 人間文化研究機構 総合地球環境学研究所 Abstract Most agricultural and food security studies on Zambia have concentrated on maize and other cash crops, and surplus maize producing provinces such as Central, Lusaka and Southern. Non-cash crops such as cassava, millet and sorghum, which were staple food crops for the people of northwest Zambia, have strangely been ignored by most researchers. As a marginal maize producer, North-Western province has been ignored, condemned and marginalized by both scholars and state officials, respectively. However, this paper is cognizant of the stark fact that cassava, finger and bulrush millet, sorghum and sweet potatoes have provided and continue to provide food security for the indigenous people of Northwest Zambia. North-Western province possesses enormous agricultural and economic potential. This paper examines food supply in the North-Western province of Zambia in the midst of adverse ecological conditions.
