- W2955771010 abstract "Target area context: Kariba district is unique in Zimbabwe, in that it comprises two distinct administrative areas, Kariba Urban and Kariba Rural. Kariba Urban (i.e. Kariba town) is the official District center and is where the District Administrator (DA) sits along with the District-level offices and staff of the various line ministries. Kariba Urban is situated next to the Lake Kariba dam wall and supports industries and resorts that are founded on the lake’s resources. It is connected to Harare and to Zambia by a well-surfaced tarmac road. Kariba Rural, by contrast, is some 350 km and a 5-hour drive from Kariba Urban and is run by the Nyaminyami Rural District Council (RDC) situated in Siakobvu (see maps overleaf). There is very occasional electricity in Siakobvu and very limited communication infrastructure: limited 2G phone network coverage and poorly maintained earth, gravel, rock road network. In the target area, all of Mola (Ward 3) and the fishing camps, and parts of Negande (Ward 6) and Nebiri (Ward 7) are usually cut off from Siakobvu for 1-2 months of the rainy season, since the bridges across the major rivers have been washed away. Kariba Rural is therefore remote and marginalized. It consists largely of the Matusadona National Park and of legally designated ‘communal lands’ - inhabited primarily by the minority Tonga people who were resettled from the Zambezi River when the Kariba Dam was constructed in 1956. Kariba Rural is categorized by the Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ) as lying in natural region five and is characterized by low and erratic rainfall and frequent droughts; and by numerous short and high gradient seasonal rivers that feed alluvial soils around the lake edge. Livelihoods are predominantly mixed farming (maize, sorghum & goats), illegal hunting and for the few settlements around the lake shore, fishing. These livelihoods are increasingly threatened by changing hazard and vulnerability profiles, exacerbated by climate variability and climate change. Flash floods commonly destroy bridges and crops planted in and around river beds. Tsetse fly infestations threaten livestock, and wild animals destroy crops as well as putting humans and livestock in danger. There is a high prevalence of malaria, HIV/AIDS and diarrheal disease, with outbreaks of cholera particularly in the fishing camps around the lake shore. Chronic food insecurity is high, with many reliant every year on lean season support. The 2015-16 and 2016-17 agricultural seasons, mirroring much of the rest of Zimbabwe, resulted in significant levels of food insecurity in Kariba Rural: with peak season estimates at 22 percent and 64 percent respectively. Crisis was averted through drought emergency response projects from various actors, including the Red Cross in 2016-17. The communities are also highly vulnerable to, and often exposed to, a variety of different hazards with a high frequency of recurrent ‘small’ disasters which progressively erode any of the small development gains that the communities might have achieved." @default.
