Revitalising Zimbabwe's agriculture sector

Through the Rural Agro-dealer Restocking Programme funded by DANIDA, farm inputs are being distributed through agro-dealers in vouchers and cash sales, reaching thousands of households in eight rural provinces.

Supporting livestock marketing

SNV supported the establishment of goat auctions in Zimbabwe. Thousands of households market their goats at these auction sites.

Farming as a business

SNV improved the negotiation position of banana farmers in Zimbabwe to negotiate fair prices with a private company.  These farmers now appreciate farming as a business.  Average farmer income per annum rose from $600 in 2007 to $3600 for the highest earning farmer in 2011.

Zimbabwe

SNV has been in Zimbabwe since 1983. Since then we have been very much a part of the post-independence development efforts of the country through our work with communities, organisations and institutions that are working towards poverty reduction.  We are currently located with Harare, Bulawayo and Mutare. From our offices in Harare and Mutare we extend services to the Mashonaland (East, West, and Central), Manicaland and Masvingo Provinces, while from Bulawayo we cover the Matabeleland (North, South) and Midland Provinces.  

We work in the Agriculture, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene and Renewable Energy sectors.  In addition to these we play a key role in the education sector of the country, where our interventions with the support of the Ministry of Education, Sport, Arts and Culture and UNICEF have contributed to improvements in school governance.
