Objective: 800 MSMEs, 6,000+ MSME employees, BDSPs, FSPs/investors and TVET providers. Household Members of MSME employees minimum 22,800 individuals. Final beneficiaries will be at least 22,800 household members of the MSME employees (this figure is likely to be higher as the assumption is that many of the 6,000 FTE positions will be part-time)

The ‘Green Recycling Enterprises Engaging in New Technology for a Circular Economy in Zambia’ (GREEN Tech4CE) is a €22.7m project that will support the creation and consolidation of SMEs and start-up companies, particularly created and managed by young male/female entrepreneurs that invest in green, climate smart and digital business opportunities and decent job creation.

22,800 Households

The Project aims to provide tools for MRV at field and management level, development of certification schemes, and strengthen the capacity of Zambia and Malawi governments in managing Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land.

Moze, Namwala and Mazabuka districts 

Objective: To improve the resilience, food, income and nutrition security of 7,400 households in the Monze, Namwala and Mazabuka districts of Zambia. 

The project is implemented in the Kafue Flats wetlands and will support 4,500 households (27,000 beneficiaries). The programme will facilitate the regeneration of degraded land, afforestation and tree planting in selected sites and the protection of existing forests. Natural Resource Management Plans will be developed and adopted by communities and Village Natural Resource Management Committees (VNRMCs) will be established and strengthened. The programme will engage closely with the Forestry Department and the Department of Wildlife and National Parks.

Farmers will be trained in climate smart agricultural practices such as agroforestry (growth of fruit trees and woodlots as sources of fuel), soil and water conservation and intercropping. Farmers will also be linked with markets and provided with up-to-date market information.

 Number of households: 4,500 smallholder farmers 

Objective: Providing catalytic funding and technical assistance to promote greater inclusion in regional and national value chains supports increased productivity and commercialisation of SHFs, in order to reduce poverty, malnutrition and improve rural livelihoods.

The project seeks to create a step-change in the Zambian agricultural sector: creating an environment which supports the growth of SMEs while also supporting livelihood improvement for individual smallholder farmers. 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.

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.

637,140 members of SHF/fish farmer/employee households

Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western, Central Luapula, cop-per belt regions 

Objective: To enhance evidence-based management decision making on Nutrition Sensitive programming through the development and implementation of project friendly metrics and technologies evidence-based management decisions on Nutrition Sensitive programming.

This project will directly target smallholder farmers especially women as they are at the nexus of agriculture, nutrition, and health by virtue of being; small-scale farmers themselves, caretakers of children and, decision-makers with reference to household daily food production and consumption.

Beneficiaries: 61,000 Households

Mungwi, Nsama, Chilubi, Mbala, and Mpulungu 

Objective: Contribute to building of resilience for the most vulnerable rural populations to food insecurity in the face of climate risks using a community oriented and market-based risk management approaches with a focus on strengthening government systems.

Funded by the World Food Programme (WFP), SHA is contributing to R4 Phase III in Southern Zambia with a project which aims to provide a holistic package of support to smallholder farmers in Southern Province to build their resilience to climate shocks and contribute to broad-based, sustainable development in Zambia.

The project focuses on risk reduction (through improved Conservation Agriculture and Climate Smart Agriculture Techniques and improved post-harvest loss management), prudent risk taking (through financial education, increased market integration and access to finance), risk reserves (through the development of community savings mechanisms) and risk transfer (by promoting access to insurance) reaching a total of 5,000 farming households.

SHA will coordinate the delivery of WFP’s Integrated Risk Management Programme (R4 Phase III) in two districts (Kalomo and Chinkankata). In line with WFP’s R4 programme methodology, SHA will reach a total of 5,000 farming households in the targeted areas with a package of support designed to build resilience through: the adoption of climate smart agriculture, market access and access to financial services.

Beneficiaries: 5,000 households
