Resumen
Descripción
Zimbabwe has been plagued by multiple hazards over the last decade, suffering from a series of climatic shocks including cyclones, droughts, floods and pest infestations coupled with severe economic challenges. This has caused significant damage to agricultural livelihoods and impacted food security. Regional and national seasonal forecasts predicted above-average rainfall during the 2022/23 rainy season, showing an increased risk of flooding coinciding with the ongoing agricultural season. This would have strong impacts on vulnerable small-scale farmers.
Thanks to the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency’s (Sida's) contribution to the SFERA – Anticipatory Action window, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is putting in place Anticipatory Action measures to mitigate the potential impact of expected floods on vulnerable households. If the triggers are hit, the intervention will support households in Matobo and Gwanda in cooperation with partners and the government through the provision of training and protection measures.
