About the ProjectThe Youth Empowerment in Harare South project aims to create dignified lives and decent livelihoods for young people in marginalized communities. ActionAid Zimbabwe, in partnership with Fambidzanai Permaculture, is working to enhance youth agency, improve resilience, and promote rights and dignity through sustainable agriculture and agroecology.Read More Overall GoalTo improve sustainable livelihoods, economic well-being, and climate resilience of youths in Chimanimani District by December 2026.Read More Project OverviewThe project targeted youth refugees in Tongogara Refugee Camp in Chipinge, Zimbabwe. The overall objective of the project was to promote livelihood resilience amongst the youth through capacity building on gardening innovations that use little water and less laborious. Wicking beds, with their water saving capacity and low demand for regular maintenance, were identified as one of the key innovations to improve horticulture production by the youth in the camp. Since water is very scarce in the camp, gardening activities have halted for quite a long time but through the introduction of wicking beds, which use even recycled water for irrigation, more than 50 youths have reignited horticulture production in the camp.Read More Project SummaryWith the water crisis increasingly looming especially due to the increasing population and industrial activities, smallholder farmers in areas that receive low rainfall should start to adopt water conservation methods that significantly reduce water but retaining yield rates. Wicking beds are some of the water conservation methods that the farmers are using to reduce irrigation water but still getting the desired yields. Wicking beds save more than 60% water when compared to surface watering. Wicking beds are a water-saving method that self-irrigates through capillary action.Read More Project SummaryMatobo's primary livelihood option is agriculture, with a strong focus on livestock production¹. Crop cultivation, including maize, sorghum, and millet, is also practiced. However, these activities are hampered by climate change as the district lies under agroecological regions 4/5. The district has a semi-arid climate, characterized by low and erratic rainfall (400-450 mm annually) and high temperatures (26-38°C)².Read More Project OverviewThe project established a solar powered garden that integrates sustainable agricultural practices, replaces an existing bush pump, and enhancing community access to water for irrigation and other domestic uses. This initiative will also include erecting a fence to protect the area from animals, ensuring both agricultural sustainability and community safety. The identified project site is loosely fenced with local resources and thus limiting productivity and the drudgery in use of pump for irrigation. The identified project site in Tagarirwa Village Ward 7 Bumba Area, as shown in figure 1 above. Project beneficiaries were supported with fruit trees to establish an orchard site diversification of income streams.Read More

Project Overview
To scale up agrobiodiversity, nutrition, climate resilience, and farmer‑managed seed systems in Zimbabwe. The project promotes Neglected and Underutilised Species (NUS) and farmers’ varieties as strategic crops for healthier diets, stronger livelihoods, and resilient local food systems.

Overall Objective
The objective of this action is to enhance ecological integrity and community resilience across the Sebungwe landscape (Binga and Kariba districts) by securing wildlife corridors, promoting sustainable coexistence between communities and wildlife, and strengthening inclusive value chains.

Overall ObjectiveTo develop a concise, user-friendly, and evidence-based Policy Brief for policymakers, development partners, and civil society, outlining clear policy options for the legal recognition of Farmer Managed Seed Systems in Zimbabwe.Read More The objective of the project was to increase production, saving, exchange and use of farm saved traditional seeds and grains. READ MORE Project GoalThe overall goal of the FOCAL project was to create a prosperous, self- reliant communities that are food and income secure as well as living in a healthy and sustainable environment. READ MORE The Water Infrastructures Development Programme (WIDP) was initiated in 2011 and pinned its focus on a cluster of outcomes which sought to support communities’ ability to access portable water and practice hygienic standards as well as moving towards appreciation and application of natural resource management principles, including the adoption of the notion of climate change resilience. READ MORE The focus of this current project is to build the capacity of local agriculture extension agents through the provision of formal agroecology learning. Through various participatory approaches, the agents are expected to then facilitate the transfer of permaculture skills and knowledge to the communities they are working with. READ MORE By 2025, young people should know their role and are taking steps to influence an enabling environment for the implementation of feminist and green economic alternatives that will improve their livelihoods and resilience to climate change-induced shocks and stresses. READ MORE Our M&E statistics do not indicate much difference between the end of 2015 status and end of 2016 in terms of field crop productivity since they were both affected by the drought. READ MORE Project GoalEconomic empowerment of women smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe through access to clean energy READ MORE Objectives of the project
