  • Strategic Plan and IA Programme Funding Evaluation Tor (Final)
    Strategy and Programme Evaluation 2015 Terms of Reference Terms of Reference Gorta-Self Help Africa Strategic Plan and Programme Evaluation 2011-2015 1 Background Gorta-Self Help Africa works with local communities to help them improve their farms and their livelihoods. Gorta-Self Help Africa works with smallholder farmers and their families to make sustainable improvements in their livelihoods from both intensification and diversification of agriculture and greater integration into markets. As a result of our experience and learning we aim to influence the policies and ways of working of other actors to enable smallholder farmers in Africa to prosper. Our core values underpin our approaches: working in partnership, community-led development and integrated solutions. Gorta-Self Help Africa believes that this is key to building local capacity to sustain change and scale up good practices. The Self Help Africa five-year strategic plan (2011-2015) is the basis of the programme funding agreement with Irish Aid, an obligation of our funding from Irish Aid is to conduct an independent evaluation of the programme in 2015, the evaluation will both inform GSHA and Irish Aid of progress against our projected results and inform the meta-analysis that Irish Aid will conduct in 2016 to assess the impact of the programme funding scheme. The five-year strategy was ambitious seeking to scale up and sustain the work we do and improve the quality and effectiveness of our programmes and our organisation. 2 Purpose This evaluation serves three core purposes in relation to learning and accountability: 1. An independent analysis of progress towards the three strategic objectives (SO), what has/has not worked and why and who has been involved, the three SOs are: • SO1: To enable smallholders to achieve viable livelihoods from intensification and diversification of agriculture and greater integration into markets.

This is further motivated by the recognition that the road network constitutes the single largest asset owned by the Government, and a less than optimal system of the management and maintenance of that asset generally results in huge losses for the national economy. In order to ensure management and maintenance of the PFR, the government is introducing the OPRC concept. The OPRC is a concept is a contracting approach in which the service provider is paid not for ‘inputs’ but rather for the results of the work executed under the contract i.e. the service provider’s performance under the contract. The initial phase of the project, supported by the World Bank will be implementing the Improved Rural Connectivity Project (IRCP) in some selected districts of Central, Eastern, Northern, Luapula, Southern and Muchinga Provinces. The project will be implemented in Eastern Province for a period of five (5) years from 2020 to 2025 using the Output and Performance Road Contract (OPRC) approach. GRZ thus intends to roll out the OPRC on the PFR Network covering a total of 14,333Kms country-wide.

  • CHIEFS and the STATE in INDEPENDENT ZAMBIA Exploring the Zambian National Press
    CHIEFS AND THE STATE IN INDEPENDENT ZAMBIA Exploring the Zambian National Press •J te /V/- /. 07 r s/ . j> Wim van Binsbergen Introduction In West African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone, chiefs have successfully entered the modern age, characterized by the independent state and its bureaucratie institutions, peripheral capitalism and a world-wide electronic mass culture. There, chiefs are more or less conspicuous both in daily life, in post-Independence literary products and even in scholarly analysis. In the first analysis, the Zambian situation appears to be very different. After the späte of anthropological research on chiefs in the colonial era,1 post-Independence historical research has added précision and depth to the scholarly insight concerning colonial chiefs and the precolonial rulers whose royal or aristocratie titles the former had inherited, as well as those (few) cases where colonial chieftaincies had been downright invented for the sake of con- venience and of systemic consistence all over the territory of the then Northern Rhodesia. But precious little has been written on the rôle and performance of Zambian chiefs öfter Independence. A few recent regional studies offer useful glances at chiefly affairs in 1. The colonial anthropological contribution to the study of Zambian chieftainship centered on, the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute and the Manchester School, and included such classic studies of chieftainship as Barnes 1954; Cunnison 1959; Gluckman 1943, 1967; Richards 1935; Watson 1958.

  • Monthly Report January 19 – February 19, 2002 Summary
    Monthly Report January 19 – February 19, 2002 Summary • Zambia continued to experience a generally normal to below-normal rainy season. The dry spell in the southern parts of the country is of great concern as this has extended into some high- producing districts in Southern Province (Choma District), Western Province (Kaoma District) and the southern parts of Central Province. Crop yields in these areas are expected to be significantly reduced as a result. In some areas, crops have passed the permanent wilting point. • Zambia’s neighboring countries of Malawi, Mozambique, and particularly Zimbabwe have also experienced well-below normal rainfall this season. • Zambia’s food security situation continues to be of great concern, as the availability of staple food (maize) remains limited this late into the marketing season. Many households are also having problems purchasing maize as a result of exceptionally high prices. • The World Food Program started its relief food distribution program on January 24. So far, progress has been good despite the slow rate of relief food being brought into the country. Out of the estimated 42,000 MT requirement, only 12,000 MT has been purchased in South Africa for distribution to Zambia. Response from donors has been slow. As of February 12, 1,800 MT of maize was received from South Africa, all of which has been moved to the targeted districts. 1.0 Rainfall and Crop Condition 1.1 Rainfall Generally, the rainy season in Zambia so far has been characterized by normal to below-normal rainfall. Normal rainfall has been confined to northern and central parts of Zambia.

  • Agrarian Changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia
    7 Agrarian changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia Davison J Gumbo, Kondwani Y Mumba, Moka M Kaliwile, Kaala B Moombe and Tiza I Mfuni Summary Over the past decade issues pertaining to land sharing/land sparing have gained some space in the debate on the study of land-use strategies and their associated impacts at landscape level. State and non-state actors have, through their interests and actions, triggered changes at the landscape level and this report is a synthesis of some of the main findings and contributions of a scoping study carried out in Zambia as part of CIFOR’s Agrarian Change Project. It focuses on findings in three villages located in the Nyimba District. The villages are located on a high (Chipembe) to low (Muzenje) agricultural land-use gradient. Nyimba District, which is located in the country’s agriculturally productive Eastern Province, was selected through a two-stage process, which also considered another district, Mpika, located in Zambia’s Muchinga Province. The aim was to find a landscape in Zambia that would provide much needed insights into how globally conceived land-use strategies (e.g. land-sharing/land-sparing trajectories) manifest locally, and how they interact with other change processes once they are embedded in local histories, culture, and political and market dynamics. Nyimba District, with its history of concentrated and rigorous policy support in terms of agricultural intensification over different epochs, presents Zambian smallholder farmers as victims and benefactors of policy pronouncements. This chapter shows Agrarian changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia • 235 the impact of such policies on the use of forests and other lands, with agriculture at the epicenter.
