  • 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.

  • Zambia 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
    ZAMBIA 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution declares the country a Christian nation; the constitution also prohibits religious discrimination and provides for freedom of conscience, belief, and religion. Prominent religious groups continued to state the government should not be involved in religious affairs, such as organizing national prayer days. On October 18, the Ministry of National Guidance and Religious Affairs (MNGRA) coordinated the fourth National Day of Prayer and Fasting. Various religious groups raised concerns over the government-managed event, stating it blurred the line between church and state. The government continued to introduce administrative measures to regulate religious affairs that religious groups said were excessively bureaucratic. New procedures included a requirement that clergy practicing in the country must have attended a “recognized and reputable” theology school, but the government provided no specific definition or list of acceptable schools. Religious groups must also belong to a larger religious grouping, locally known as a “mother body.” To accommodate this requirement, the MNGRA sought to recognize additional church mother bodies to encompass the variety of Christian and other religious groups. Some religious groups remained opposed to the process, as they felt that government was forcing them to align their faith to a particular mother body. Religious leaders stated the clearance procedures for foreign visitors coming to conduct religious activities remained arduous. They also criticized public statements by government officials that they said were detrimental to promoting religious tolerance. For example, in September Minister of National Guidance and Religious Affairs Godfridah Sumaili told the media that inviting Hindus and Muslims to join in the MNGRA-hosted National Day of Prayer event would cause “confusion.” Incidents of mob attacks and killings of individuals suspected of practicing witchcraft continued throughout the country.
