ZRBF rescues hunger-prone communities

THE Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund (ZRBF) has, in a big way, assisted communities in dealing with climate shocks that have seen a spike in hunger and poverty due to poor yields.

ZRBF programmes are implemented by the Lands ministry and other ministries through funding from development partners such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), European Union and the Swedish government and Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office.

The resilience project, adopted in 2015 and bankrolled by UNDP, is worth US$89 221 626 and aims to reduce and possibly phase out humanitarian assistance in the southern African country.
