Portfolio
Due to climate change, agricultural-based livelihoods in Zimbabwe are becoming increasingly unreliable. As a result, poverty is increasing and there is a need for alternative sources of income. The ZRBF-BRACT project introduced vocational skills training for young people, with a focus on practical, hands-on learning of business skills. The training is provided through apprenticeships and includes business development services that help young people to start their businesses. By providing an alternative source of income, the training helps young people to build their resilience to the impacts of climate change.
Rural communities are vulnerable and poor because they lack access to income among other limitations. The ZRBF BRACT project has helped to promote community-based businesses in rural areas that can improve people's access to income, job creation, labour saving and increased productivity. The project has supported entrepreneurs with financial and technical support to overcome business development challenges, such as lack of access to markets and limited processing capacity. The project has also supported target communities to increase access to financial services, which can help to make their businesses more sustainable and resilient. This has positively impacted their ability to withstand shocks and stresses.
This video shows the compelling cases of two women entrepreneurs in the renewable energy sector. They now have flourishing businesses, but their journey has been tough, due to lack of access to finance.

Indigenous crops and wild plants can contribute to strengthening resilience and improving diets, incomes, and biodiversity for rural communities. Wild forest products or non-timber forest products (NTFP) are products other than timber obtained from forests. They include fruits and nuts, vegetables, medicinal plants, insects, resins, barks, fibers and grasses. The BMZ-funded ‘Building Inclusive, Diverse, and Valuable Food Systems in Mudzi and Rushinga, Zimbabwe/ Pundutso’ project (2022-25) encourages cultivation of white sorghum, bambara nuts and rosella, and wild harvesting of mobola plum and marula, for local use and sale. To prove amazing food can be prepared from these traditional ingredients, even in rural settings, celebrity chef Taf Anifasi aka De AnkarrA Chef visited the homesteads of three farmers and prepared a dish with each of them, featuring the project’s focal crops and using only other ingredients sourced locally.
