DanChurchAid in Zimbabwe

Supporting Zimbabwe’s Biodiversity and Climate Change Ambitions

Two out of three households in the lower Zambezi Valley have experienced dangerous encounters with wild animals. DCA Zimbabwe works to change that.

Fighting Hunger Using Cash Programming

Zimbabwe is one of 19 countries in the world that are now hunger hotspots and for that reason DCA is working to ensure that we leave no one behind

Main activities

DanChurchAid’s work in Zimbabwe focuses on three programmatic pillars

Building Resilient Communities

DCA delivers multipurpose cash assistance through mobile money and e-vouchers to vulnerable and drought-affected households in urban and rural areas of Zimbabwe, enabling them to meet basic needs and recover from climate shocks. Protection is mainstreamed through community awareness, Gender Based Violence (GBV) prevention, and child safeguarding. We also strengthen the capacity of local organisations, NGOs, and government partners to deliver quality, protection-sensitive Cash and Voucher Assistance, advancing localisation and humanitarian response.

Saving Lives

Our programme strengthens the resilience of communities and households in the Mid-Lower Zambezi Valley through climate-smart agriculture, diversified livelihoods, and improved access to water and irrigation. It supports livestock production, entrepreneurship for women and youth, and community-owned enterprises, while promoting sustainable natural resource management, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem restoration.
