Short description

The long-term goal of the Programme of the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) in the Zambezi Heartland is to improve the livelihoods of the local population and conserve the natural resources and biodiversity assets in the Zambezi Heartland. The Heartland covers an area of about 47,000 km2 and is centred on the confluence of the Luangwa and Zambezi rivers, where Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique meet. This transboundary landscape includes important protected areas such as the Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe (a World Heritage site) and the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia. The area supports a population of around 560,000 people, who largely derive their livelihoods from subsistence farming and artisanal fishing. AWF has been active in this Heartland since 2000.The 2.5 year SDC-financed project sought to contribute to the Zambezi Heartlands Programme. The anticipated outcome was: Food security of the population, including vulnerable groups, increased based on the sustainable use of the natural resources. The project had four expected outputs:1. Sustainable community conservation enterprises established.2. Improved agricultural practices introduced and adopted.3. Natural resources management planning and legislative framework at trans-boundary and local level developed and adopted.4. Human-wildlife conflict mitigation measures implemented.Whilst the project anticipated the whole population of the Heartland would benefit from the project, AWF sought to focus specific activities on certain geographical areas and therefore expected a smaller number of people to secure direct benefit.
