 In the 2015-16th agricultural season, Southern Africa experienced an intense drought, driven by one of the strongest El Nino events of the last 50 years, and this significantly affected food security and livelihoods in the region. Zimbabwe is one of the affected countries. In February 2016, the government of Zimbabwe declared a state of national disaster and appeal for humanitarian relief assistance from the international community. In 2018, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations launched an evaluation to assess the results achieved to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods affected by the El Nino event and to provide lessons for future decisions. In 2015-16, the government of Zimbabwe declared a state of national disaster and appeal for humanitarian relief assistance from the international community. FAO developed a response plan with four main areas of work to help Zimbabwe fight against the El Nino event. Improving access to agricultural inputs, animal health interventions, rehabilitation and construction of water points, early warning and preparedness. Work in safeguarding agriculture-based livelihoods, targeted 122,000 households through the provision of cowpea seed, CB2 variety, and sorghum, shirikure, bird-tolerant variety, at subsidized prices. I work with the farmers by advising them in their project, why assist them to train them on disease management, health management, and the procuring of feeds. I advise them on the feeds to procure, even train them in their fields, how to grow crops, when to grow crops, where to update, and everything that concerns agriculture. The evaluation team visited different districts of the country and talked to more than 800 households, asking farmers what was their perspective of the support received to build resilience. But after this program, most of the farmers are concerned when it comes to August, September. They'll be asking, let me see, where is the stock feed? You once brought a cheap stock feed, but we want it, like this year they're asking about the stock feed, but it's no longer there. So farmers are now concerned with feeding their cattle because they saw the advantage with it. When the cattle are fed, they survive, they don't die in large numbers. This is the reason why the poor are at the risk of losing their cattle, in the midst of this crisis. We are not able to feed them, but we are able to feed them, so we must work on our health. We are not going to be able to feed our cattle, or feed them, but we are going to be able to feed our cows, or feed them, and so on. So we'll be seeing the future of the farm, and we'll be seeing the future of the cattle. I am 15 years old. I didn't know that I'd be able to do anything, but I was very excited. I was very excited when I saw the kids. I was always very excited. When I got up in the morning, I woke up and saw them. The kids were very excited. As long as I'm here, I'll do everything I can. I want to learn how to build a house, how to build the house like we do when we're in the middle of the road. I want to make a home for ourselves, that has a good place for our children because of the way we have. The children forget how to build the house... I haven't experienced anything like this since I was born. I was born with a vision and thought I couldn't go back to the same place. I was born with a vision and thought I was going to survive. I was born with a vision and thought I was going to survive. I'm not sure what's going to happen to me as you're coming here. I don't know what's going to happen to me. I don't know why I'm doing this. I don't know why I'm doing this, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. I'm not sure whether I can do it or not. It's a different story. If I were to do it, I'd have to do it. As for the as as November is November is November is September. We called for a three-days workshop that was done at St. Teresa in Blumtree, where we were trained on the production of sorghum from planting until harvest, production of cowpeas from planting until harvest, then on how to feed the cagley, amount that should be given per cagley per day, until time to sell and how to feed the survival. I can say my benefit, there is less cagley dying because of the stock feed and even my cowpeas, that variety grows very fast within two months you harvest my cowpeas, so they could harvest more yield the cowpeas other than the other varieties they were using before. Then sorghum they use it for stock feeding especially poultry, they don't like much in sardar but they use it for feeding poultry and brewing beer and even selling sorghum they got cash from the sale of sorghum. So, we have 20, we have 4, we have 16. We don't want to waste our cagley. Because we can't do that, we don't want to waste it. I'm It is very important that we have a clear understanding of what we are doing and how we are going to do it. FAO collaborated with the Ministry of Agriculture Mechanization and Irrigation Development and the respective district water and sanitation subcommittees to design and implementation of the water interventions, setting up water supply facilities to help farmers increase their crops and livestock. We are working with the Ministry of Agriculture, who are working in the area to prepare the water for the harvest. We are also working with the Ministry of Agriculture, the community and the village. We also work with the Ministry of Agriculture, the community and the entire village for the harvest. We live in a village called Ute-Basrikar-Singhambu-Vir. We live in a small village. It's not a small village, but it's a small village. We live in a small village called Makarwe. We have a tank. It's about 40 metres long. It will be Maori during the next 40 meters. We are trying to make it less difficult for the group. So we are weeding them off. We are a team that have been in this area. It will be easier for us to work on it. We need to push it. When we come here, we have to find the way out. is You have to provide them with the necessary resources. You have to provide them with the appropriate materials for use. You have to provide them with the appropriate equipment for use. or to fall to veterinary service offices.
