SGP-GEF and UNDP – Climate Change

SGP-GEF and UNDP in collaboration with Teach For Zimbabwe have been working in 6 schools in Binga district in supporting Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation through promotion of solar powered nutritional gardens, fish farming and indigenous chicken projects. We mainly targeted dried fish and dried vegetables. In these selected schools, food vacuum sealers were bought that assisted with preservation of their vegetables and fish. Clubs formed worked with the communities to dry the fish, package it and market it to Bulawayo, Victoria Falls and Harare.

The project have climate action and conservation clubs in schools that speak about local impacts of climate change and potential solutions and do practical outside activities like conservation agriculture, seed collection, tree planting and protection, fish farming, re-use of plastic materials, clean up campaigns, use of renewable energy and all these provide livelihood options for the community.
