The overall goal of the activity is to provide inclusive economic opportunities to smallholder farmers and other actors along the beef and dairy value chains by sustainably increasing their production, productivity, and incomes to enhance food security, nutrition, and poverty reduction. The program focuses on commercializing low-income and food-insecure households in agro-ecological regions (NRs) III, IV, and V with the potential to move from subsistence to small-scale commercial beef and dairy farmers through the promotion and adoption of good agricultural and animal husbandry practices, marketing, hygiene and nutritional practices, and building market linkages that not only generate income but also increase farmers’ overall resilience, food security, and improved nutritional and hygienic status. In addition, the program aims to increase the institutional and organizational capacity of local organizations working with the program. The program is building demand for smallholder-produced beef and dairy products by focusing on quality, continuity of supply, and cost competitiveness. The Feed the Future Zimbabwe Livestock Development program also collaborates with the Feed the Future Zimbabwe Crop Development program and other donor programs to provide specialized technical support to produce nutritious crops that sustainably increase the availability of these foods among beneficiary households. Fintrac implements the Feed the Future Zimbabwe Livestock Development program in collaboration with local private companies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the Division of Livestock Production and Development (DLPD), the Department of Agricultural Technical and Extension Services (AGRITEX), the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS), and other government departments involved in the beef and dairy value chains. Local NGOs and commercial companies work with the program as development partners to co-fund purchases of essential inputs and new technologies for demonstration purposes on a cost-recovery basis. In summary, the Feed the Future Zimbabwe Livestock Development program is a market-driven program that works closely with small, medium, and large-scale buyers to stimulate demand and increase competitiveness for smallholder-produced beef and dairy products. The program directly contributes to food availability and access by concurrently increasing production and raising incomes of rural households in selected areas. Prepared by Fintrac Inc. 5 Feed the Future Zimbabwe Livestock Development Program | Quarterly Report #2 FY2019 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the 15th quarterly report for the Feed the Future Zimbabwe Livestock Development program funded by USAID/Zimbabwe under contract AID-613-C-15-00001 and implemented by Fintrac Inc.

  • Zimbabwe Livelihood Baseline Profile
    Zimbabwe Livelihood Baseline Profile Kariba Valley Kariangwe Jambezi Communal August-September 20101 Main Conclusions and Implications Crop production is the main food source over the reference year contributing 38 percent of very poor household food access and 82 percent for the Better-off. The main constraints to improved land utilisation and crop production are lack of draught power and poor access to seeds and fertiliser. Extension services and monitoring of agriculture activities should be strengthened through support to the ministry of agriculture’s department of extension services (AGRITEX). The livelihood zone borders with Mutusadona and Chizarira national parks. Proximity to national parks increases human, livestock and wildlife interaction. Elephants, Baboons, Buffaloes and Quela birds often stray into fields and destroy crops. Livestock production, which has relatively increased in recent years, is also limited by concerns over tsetse fly outbreaks. Surrounding communities receive little benefit from resources in the national parks except for the occasional slaughter of wild animals. Strengthening the CAMPFIRE scheme provides a framework for legal and sustainable access to natural resources found in the national parks. Food aid distributed for six months enabled very poor and poor households to access their minimum food requirements. Limited livelihood options and adverse weather conditions combine to increase very poor and poor households’ vulnerability to food insecurity and poverty. Over the last ten years, the risk of food insecurity has been addressed primarily through food aid distributions. External assistance whose focus has been on addressing immediate consumption needs has created dependency and is undermining long term household coping capacity and development prospects.

  • Zimbabwe National Dialogue Report on Findings
    Leave No One Behind: Zimbabwe National Dialogue Report on Findings Please include the following: survey results, data charts, input from each of the marginalized groups, overall analysis, geographic analysis, and key policy asks or suggestions for decision makers as well as for other stakeholders to implement. Guiding questions: 1) Who are the groups and communities in your country that are being left behind? Zimbabwe has gone through economic, social and governance turbulences for a prolonged period of time during the era of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2000 to 2015. During this period the welfare of disenfranchised groups such as children, person with disabilities, the elderly, persons living with HIV and AIDS, women, youth and the rural community were deprived of the social services support, leading to further marginalizing. The poor performance of the economy saw the human development index worsen as the issues of health, education and life expectancy continued to deteriorate. Zimbabwe has remained in the low human development category, reaching its lowest in the recession period, 2000 to 2008, before marginally increasing under the recovery phase, 2009 to 2014. During this time, children drooped out of school and problem was worse for the girl child. Figure 1: Marginalized groups in Zimbabwe Source: NANGO survey 2016 for the Leave No One behind According to the survey, as shown in figure 1: Children were found to be the most vulnerable groups in the society, followed by persons with disabilities. These are the groups, which are left out the most in democratic processes. In addition, people with communicable diseases and women are also highly marginalized according to the survey results as shown.

  • Zimbabwe, the GGP Programme Started in 1989 and Has Since Provided Support to About 130 Organisations
    Introduction Japan’s Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP), or “Kusanone” in Japanese, provides funding for projects implemented by non- profit and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as well as local authorities. In Zimbabwe, the GGP programme started in 1989 and has since provided support to about 130 organisations. The goal is to meet basic human needs and ensure human security at the grassroots level. The GGP programme is the token of friendship from the people of Japan to the people of Zimbabwe. The many smiles and words of appreciation that we have received from the beneficiaries of our assistance are our greatest reward. “Kusanone” means “Grassroots”: “Kusa” is grass and “ne” is roots. The special character of the scheme is called “Kusanoneko” (Grass Kitty): “neko”, meaning cat, is a play on the word Kusanone. Construction of an Emergency Call Centre and Children’s Drop-in Centres (Childline Zimbabwe, 2012) Construction of Classroom Blocks at Tshayile Primary School in Bubi District Rural Women and Children Legal Resource Trust (2014) Before After 1 Target Areas of Projects To meet basic human needs and ensure human security at the grassroots level, the GGP programme focuses on projects that will benefit people in utmost need. In particular, given the Zimbabwean context, the following areas are prioritised: a) Basic Education, such as: e) Child Protection and Prevention of - building new classrooms for primary school Gender-Based Violence, such as: Grades 1 - 7 and secondary school Forms 1 – 4 - constructing a counselling/education centre, - providing furniture (desks and chairs for shelter, orphanage, etc. students/teachers) f) Support for Disadvantaged People, such as: - construction of teachers’ accommodation.
