ECODIT Trust, under project Task Order No. 72061320F00003 under STARR II IDIQ No. 7200AA18D00022, is implementing the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-financed) USAID Zimbabwe Resilience ANCHORS. The overarching purpose of the Resilience ANCHORS Activity is to increase the capacity of communities to sustainably protect and manage community-based natural resources and the wildlife economy (based on the conviction that nature is an economic asset) in anticipation of future shocks and stresses. The activity has three main objectives:
1. Improve economic benefits from strengthened community-level governance and oversight of conservation enterprises;
2. Increase sustainable access to supplies of water of sufficient quantity and quality to meet human, economic, and ecosystem needs; and
3. Strengthen locally-led development and private sector engagement.
The Activity seeks to rehabilitate and develop water sources for multiple uses in Bikita to increase sustainable access to water supplies of sufficient quantity and quality to meet human, economic and ecosystem needs. Resilience ANCHORS will upgrade existing cash crop gardens in Bikita by installing fencing which will help to reduce deforestation, as currently communities are using bush shrubs and felled trees to fence these gardens. The fencing will also better protect the gardens from crop-raiding wildlife that crosses the shared boundary with SVC.
