ENTERPRISE Zambia tackles a critical challenge facing Zambian agribusinesses: lack of access to finance and financial services, while making the agricultural sector work better for all, particularly smallholder farmers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The project incentivises greater inclusivity in value chains and provides agri-enterprises with targeted technical support and advice to ensure that their business can impact positively on the resilience, sustainability, profitability of smallholder farmers and deliver employment and economic opportunities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span style=\"color: #72b735;\"><b>637,140 members of SHF\/fish farmer\/ employee households <\/b><b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span style=\"color: #72b735;\"><b>35-25 SMEs\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e28892-e47 mmak-3 mmak-4 mmak-b\" id=\"integrated-risk-management\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e28892-e48 mmak-d\"><hr class=\"x-line e28892-e49 mmak-i mmak-j\"\/><hr class=\"x-line e28892-e50 mmak-l\"\/><h4  class=\"h-custom-headline h4\" ><span>IMPLEMENTATION OF FARM TO MARKET\nALLIANCE (FTMA)<\/span><\/h4><hr class=\"x-line e28892-e52 mmak-j mmak-k\"\/><div id=\"\" class=\"x-text\" style=\"\" ><p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><span style=\"color: #72b735;\">Objective:<\/span> <\/b><\/span>Improved livelihoods and resilience of rural smallholder farmers in Zambia and enhanced agribusiness efficiencies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">T<\/span>he project will employ a holistic market-oriented approach to transform the food system in Eastern areas of Zambia by engaging with food production, aggregation, processing, distribution, and consumption to develop resilient livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The project will be driven by and delivered primarily through Farmer Service Centers (FSCs) - following the established Farmer Service Centre model. The project will follow the principles of inclusive market-driven development, delivering sustainable results by capacitating the FSCs to deliver key program elements to the participating smallholders and SMEs and working with other value chain actors to address development challenges by solving market failures. Using the FSC approach will ensure positive impacts on the food system in the nine target districts are sustained through inclusive value chains after the end of the project implementation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e28892-e54 mmak-3 mmak-4 mmak-c\" id=\"sustainable-food-systems\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e28892-e55 mmak-d\"><hr class=\"x-line e28892-e56 mmak-i mmak-j\"\/><hr class=\"x-line e28892-e57 mmak-l\"\/><h4  class=\"h-custom-headline h4\" ><span>Developing sustainable food systems in drought-affected and food insecure districts of Zambia (DROPP)<\/span><\/h4><hr class=\"x-line e28892-e59 mmak-j mmak-k\"\/><div id=\"\" class=\"x-text\" style=\"\" ><p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #72b735;\"><b>Objective: <\/b><\/span>Community-driven development increases communities\u2019 food, nutrition, safe water and income security, resulting in increased resilience and reduced vulnerability to environmental, climate and health risks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">T<\/span>he project is implemented in Southern Province and will support 3,000 households (18,000 beneficiaries) to diversify from maize into more drought tolerant crops. Lead farmers will be trained in CSA techniques and drought tolerant seeds will be distributed. A Functional Landscape approach will be applied that balances economic needs with protection of the natural environment. Through the project training will be conducted in post-harvest handling, food preservation and storage. Savings and credit groups will be established and links with credit and markets will be facilitated. As this component is implemented in a geographical area prone to both floods and drought, communities will be supported to conduct risk assessments and put Disaster Risk Management plans in place. Information about rainfall and weather patterns will be collected and shared with farmers to inform their planning and decision making.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span style=\"color: #72b735;\"><b>3,000 households<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"x-section-1\" class=\"x-section\" style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px; background-color: #dab525;\" ><div id=\"\" class=\"x-container max width\" style=\"margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><hr  class=\"x-gap\" style=\"margin: 50px 0 0 0;\"><h2  class=\"h-custom-headline cs-ta-center man h3\" ><span><font class=\"whitetext\">TO CONTACT US ABOUT OUR WORK IN Zambia:<\/font><\/span><\/h2><hr  class=\"x-hr\" style=\"border-color: #fff; border-width: 2px;   margin:  7px auto 12px auto; width:30%;border-top-width: 1px;width: 100%;\"><div id=\"\" class=\"x-text cs-ta-center\" style=\"\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><span class=\"whitetext\">Self Help Africa<br \/>\nPlot No. 121 | Off Kudu Road | Kabulonga<br \/>\nP.O.
