FAO in Zimbabwe
FAO works closely with the Government of Zimbabwe to ensure that people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active and healthy lives. The Country Programming Framework (CPF) for Zimbabwe 2022-2026 is the key tool that maps out priority areas guiding the collaborative efforts. It is aligned to the Government of Zimbabwe’s priorities, which are aimed at providing an enabling environment for sustainable economic empowerment and social transformation. The overarching national development goal to which the CPF contributes is improved food and nutrition security at national and household levels.
The strategic priorities and accelerators provide the strategic direction for FAO’s technical support to the Zimbabwean Government during the period 2022 – 2026 in line with the FAO’s global strategic objectives. The identified FAO Zimbabwe CPF 2022 – 2026 priorities, which are also aligned to FAO’s Strategic Framework (2022 – 2031) and the UNSDCF (2022 – 2026) outcomes, are:
(i) Promotion of inclusive agriculture food systems to address food and nutrition security (better production and better nutrition).
(ii) Building resilience to climate change (better life).
(iii) Sustainable management of natural resources (better environment).
