Descripción
This document presents the highlights of an impact assessment conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Zambia Vulnerability Assessment Committee, to understand the impact of El Niño on agricultural production and livelihoods across seven provinces of Zambia. The comprehensive assessment approach included an innovative combination of four components: geospatial analysis of the impact of El Niño through the generation of maize yield forecasts in partnership with NASA Harvest; a household survey conducted through the Food Security Cluster that reached 4 281 rural households across five provinces (84 districts) in March 2024; an agriculture sector damage and loss assessment; and a seed assessment conducted through interviews with key informants in the seed sector.
