Building Resilience to Climate Change in Selected Districts in Zimbabwe

Experiences from the Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund Programme

Herausgegeben: Mhlanga, Lindah; Nyikahadzoi, Kefasi; Stack, Jayne

Beschreibung

The book is based on Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund data from the Outcome Monitoring Surveys 1,2,3 (OMS123) which comprised of three rounds of panel data set with the same households being interviewed three consecutive times in 18 districts. The OMS1, OMS2 and OMS3 were undertaken in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The findings in this book demonstrate and provide a better understanding of what works and what does not work to strengthen communities' resilience in Zimbabwe. The information contributed in each chapter will be useful to inform adaptive programming and design of future resilience interventions and policy, with a focus on Climate Resilient Development (CRD). The chapters also address the challenge of formulating concrete policy in an environment with severe data constraints.
