Locally-led Indigenous Nature-based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation in Zimbabwe

About this project

This project seeks to foster low-carbon and climate-resilient economies in three districts of Zimbabwe (Gwanda, Mwenezi and Binga) to support vulnerable groups of women, men, boys and girls, while strengthening biodiversity. These 3 regions are experiencing significant loss of biodiversity and ecosystems. They are strongly affected by climate change and experience high levels of food insecurity. Project activities include: (1) raising awareness and building the capacity of women and men to develop and implement nature-based solutions for the restoration of natural ecosystems; (2) strengthening agricultural production by integrating nature-based solutions into agricultural systems; and (3) strengthening the capacity of communities and, in particular, women, to implement sustainable value chains and develop new market opportunities and business development activities. This project directly benefit approximately 66,577 people (33,553 women and 33,024 men), including 7,783 young women, 8,326 young men, and an estimated 3,817 women and 4,871 men over 65 years old.
