IV Understanding poverty, promoting wellbeing and sustainable development A sample survey of 16 districts of Zimbabwe Chapter Eight Environment, Natural Resources and Poverty Reduction: Capturing and Sharing the Gains of Natural Resources Exploitation Jeanette Manjengwa Main messages • Natural resources have great potential to move people out of poverty. They can be used commercially as well as for household consumption and food security. • Zimbabwe has one of the highest endowments o f natural resources, such as gold, diamonds and platinum, which can fuel economic development and wealth creation. • Economic hardships andpoverty have pushed more people to over-use and misuse the environment and natural resources causing significant degradation. • Xatural resources must be utilised and managed in a careful manner to be sustainable. • Agriculturalproductivity should be enhanced, while maintaining ecosystems integrity and environmental quality. Introduction as to be more profitable and effective at raising incomes. On a global scale, Zimbabwe has one of the highest endowments of natural resources (Chasi, 2012). The One of the ways in which natural resources can be used government’s Medium Term Plan 2011-2015 (GoZ, 2011) and managed more effectively is through community points out that natural resources serve as a cornerstone empowerment initiatives. This Chapter looks at some for economic development and wealth creation. The of these initiatives, such as, community share ownership country’s economy relies heavily on natural resources, with trusts, the Communal Areas Management Programme the mining sector accounting for about 50 per cent of the for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE) and natural country’s exports (GoZ, 2011). The agricultural resource product enterprises. These initiatives have important base supports the livelihoods of at least 70 per cent of multiplier effects on food security, income generation and the population in the rural areas (GoZ, 2011) who depend job creation. The Chapter explores issues around gold directly on the productivity of the environment for their panning, putting forward suggestions for a sustainable livelihoods. For the rural poor, this dependence is nearly gold panning approach that can benefit poor communities, absolute, to the extent that they depend on subsistences d while maintaining environmental quality. Besides valuable agriculture and the extraction and harvesting of natural minerals, the Chapter also looks at a range of wild foods resources from their environment (Frost, 2001). Indeed, that are essential for food security and improved nutrition, it is these abundant natural resources which provide as well as having significant economic potential to raise opportunities for a wide range of livelihood strategies incomes of the poor. which are invaluable for the survival of households, especially during times of shocks and stresses when the The deterioration of the economy over the past twelve i environment remains the only safety net for most of the years has driven more Zimbabweans to rely on nature and vulnerable rural communities.

ESMAP provides advice to governments on sustainable energy development. Established with the support of UNDP and bilateral official donors in 1983, it focuses on the role of energy in the development process with the objective of contributing to poverty alleviation, improving living conditions and preserving the environment in developing countries and transition economies. ESMAP centers its interventions on three priority areas: sector reform and restructuring; access to modern energy for the poorest; and promotion of sustainable energy practices. GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS ESMAP is governed by a Consultative Group (ESMAP CG) composed of representatives of the UNDP and World Bank, other donors, and development experts from regions benefiting from ESMAP's assistance. The ESMAP CG is chaired by a World Bank Vice President, and advised by a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) of four independent energy experts that reviews the Programme's strategic agenda, its work plan, and its achievements.

  • The Challenges of Food Security Policy and Food Quality in Zimbabwe a Case Study of Operation Maguta in Buhera District
    The challenges of food security policy and food quality in Zimbabwe A case study of Operation Maguta in Buhera District W Mupindu Department of Public Administration Faculty of Management and Commerce University of Fort Hare ABSTRACT The study discusses food quality and safety challenges and their impact on food security policy in the public domain of Zimbabwe. It also interrogates control measures that the Government has adopted in addressing food shortages in some parts of the country. In an approach to food security policy which is relatively new in Africa, the Government of Zimbabwe assisted farmers through a logistical support programme dubbed Operation Maguta in order to improve efficacy in food security policy and quality. The manner in which the programme was conducted has been a subject of public debate in the country. This study queries claims of subsistence farmers benefiting from government assistance in Buhera District. Problems of an increasing population, lack of resources and technical knowledge to deal with pre- harvest and post-harvest food losses, environmental and food hygiene adversely affected food quality and safety in Zimbabwe. The study is conceptually based on the following food security policy pillars: availability, accessibility, stability of supply and access plus safe and healthy utilisation. The study adopted focus group interviews with subsistence farmers and agriculturalists, and the questions were directed at production, supply and demand. The study found that agricultural production levels in Buhera District are still low with regard to contributing to malnutrition, which consequently affects growth and learning capacity for children and the ability of adults to lead fully productive lives.

  • Understanding Climate Variability and Livelihoods Adaptation in Rural Zimbabwe: a Case of Charewa, Mutoko
    UNDERSTANDING CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND LIVELIHOODS ADAPTATION IN RURAL ZIMBABWE: A CASE OF CHAREWA, MUTOKO A Thesis Submitted in Fullfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF RHODES UNIVERSITY BY SANDRA BHATASARA January 2015 Supervisor: Professor Kirk Helliker Department of Sociology ABSTRACT Rural farmers in Zimbabwe have been grappling with various changes and challenges occurring in the country since the early 1990s. Amongst these, climate variability has emerged as one significant aspect. It has introduced new challenges for these farmers who are already facing various difficulties in maintaining their insecure livelihoods. Yet, current adaptation theories and inquiries have failed to sufficiently account for and analyse the capacity of these farmers to adequately respond to changing climatic conditions. In this respect, a number of studies have been heavily embedded in deterministic concepts that regard rural farmers as passive victims who play only a minor part in decisions and actions that affect their own livelihoods and well- being. Similarly, although some studies have acknowledged farmers’ capacity to adapt and build elements of resilience, they have not adequately shown how farmers interpret changes in climate and the structures, processes and conditions underpinning adaptation. Following that, my study uses a case study of a rural community in a semi-arid region of Mutoko district in eastern Zimbabwe and Margaret Archer’s sociological theory to understand and analyse how farmers problematise climate variability and respond to it. The study utilises a qualitative approach to divulge the subtleties on how rural people interpret processes of change and adapt to such changes. The thesis found that farmers are encountering increasingly unpredictable and unreliable rainfall patterns as well as shifting temperature conditions which are inducing labyrinthian livelihoods conundrums.

With research into tropical woodlands neglected compared to tropical forests, it is important to improve understanding of the consequences of tropical woodland change for rural wellbeing. The aim of this thesis is to examine the dynamic interactions between woodland change and rural livelihoods through an interdisciplinary case study of a miombo woodland landscape on and around Wedza Mountain, Zimbabwe.
