Resumen
Descripción
From 2015 to 2016 the El Niño weather phenomenon caused severe drought in Zimbabwe and impacted the country's agricultural season. A decline in cereal and livestock production resulted from the extremely dry weather, especially in Manicaland province, which was one of the hardest hit areas. About 24 700 cattle died throughout the country, and Manicaland recorded the highest numbers. This project was implemented to improve the access to water, animal feed and small grain seed for 6 500 vulnerable households impacted by the drought, thereby improving their livelihoods and food security.
