ABOUT US
Practical Action was established in 1969 by E.F. Schumacher, the radical development economist and author
of Small is Beautiful. We currently work in 11 countries with offices in Kenya, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Peru, Nepal,
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Our Head Office is located near Rugby, Warwickshire, in United Kingdom. Practical
Action Southern Africa is based in Harare, currently covers Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Since its establishment in 1989 in Zimbabwe, the organisation has built a reputation in long term development
and has demonstrated convincingly how technology can assist in alleviating poverty. The organisation also
has a range of implementing and strategic partners in each of our countries and major donors including the
European Union, the Department for International Development (DFID), multi- and bi- lateral agencies, trusts
and supporters.
Practical Action believes that technology and innovation are a vital contributor to peoples livelihoods. The
capabilities of poor people to access, use and adapt appropriate technologies, knowledge and skills underpins
their ability to escape poverty. To this end our work is founded on working alongside communities using
approaches that support collaboration and shared learning, and using these experiences as the basis for wider
knowledge services to development actors through our Practical Answers, Publishing and Consulting arms,
and as the foundation of our efforts to influence the policies and practices of others.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Practical Action Southern Africa work has been built around delivery of impact at scale, focusing on building partnerships
for influencing and impact, achieving significant impact through influence, strengthened civil society organisations to
represent and empower poor women and men access technologies, natural resources or markets, providing services, and/
or mitigating risks and facilitating poor peoples participation in decision making.
Our Learning
The model of community participation used by Practical
Action has helped leverage additional skills and capacity
from the communities. This has helped in achieving
ownership and in-building technical, financial and business
skills which would lead to sustainability of the technical
interventions that Practical Action has implemented over
the years. Participatory methods do not only ensure
sustainability but also promote sense of ownership among
communities which is one of the fundamental issues
towards achieving sustainability.
We have also noted areas where we can do better, especially
in the design of projects, identification and tracking of
beneficiaries and in policy and influence. Generally we
have designed our projects with Practical Action at the
centre of implementation although in some cases, local and
International NGOs (Development AID People to People,
Oxfam, Save the Children etc) have been engaged as
project or implementing partners.
PROGRAMME ACHIEVEMENTS
Aim1: Reducing vulnerability
Objective
157 000 people living in fragile, drought-prone, environmentally degraded and HIV and AIDS affected areas of Mozambique,
Zambia and Zimbabwe have improved crop, livestock and Natural Resource (NR) production systems to sustain their
nutrition, food and livelihood needs.
During 2011-2012, the Reducing Vulnerability Programme was implementing three major projects seeking to tackle the
food and livelihood security of the poor communities in Zambia and Zimbabwe.
a. Strengthening the Scaling Up and Impact of Innovative Food Security Approaches for PLHIV in Zambia whose
objective was to improve the food security and livelihoods resilience of People Living with HIV (PLWHIV) and
their families in Serenje and Mkushi Districts in the Central Province of Zambia.
b. Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation in Zimbabwes national Agricultural Extension System whose objective
was to integrate PEAs into national extension strategy of Agritex to enhance farmer innovation in agricultural
practices
c. Enhancing food and livelihoods security of smallholder rural farming households in drought-prone areas of
Zimbabwe whose objective was to enhance the food & nutrition security of chronic poor, labour endowed
households in Matabeleland South through improved crop & livestock production and marketing systems.
Project achievements
Strengthening the Scaling Up and Impact of Innovative
Food Security Approaches for PLHIV in Zambia. The
two year project which began in February 2011 seeks to
improve food security and livelihood resilience of 3,000
beneficiaries who are organized in 150 support groups
for PLWHIV in Serenje and Mkushi Districts in the Central
Province of Zambia by increasing their access to nutritious
foods and essential services.
Lessons learnt
PLHIV are vulnerable largely because of the
weak governance structures at both community
and district levels, fragile livelihoods in terms of
few resources, lack of savings including their
low social status in society due to stigma &
discrimination which is especially demonstrated
when it comes to access to social services such
as extension, inputs and loans. The project has
been able to show that PLHIV can still play an
active/productive role in their livelihoods when
they are able to fully participate in development
activities. We have also been able to learn that
often at times; development practitioners work
in isolation and do not share their lessons with

Impacts/Achievement
To date, the project has trained sixty (60) officers drawn
from Zimbabwe Farmers Union (ZFU), Mlezu Agriculture
College, the Departments of Research and Specialist
Services (DR&SS), Livestock Production and Development
(LPD), AGRITEX, Department of Meteorological Services
(DMS) and Department of Irrigation (DOI). The first of a
series of training sessions has been successfully completed
and it dealt with understanding the basics of climate

The project made a strong case for the mind-set shift on the
part of both smallholder farmers and buyers in Matabeleland
South Province to consider goat production as a business.
This was done through strengthening the goat value chain
which resulted in the re-creation of a stakeholder forum
for goat producers made up of farmers, development
partners such as ICRISAT, Practical Action, Hlekweni, Care
International, Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO),
SNV Netherlands, and buyers such as Bulawayo Abattoirs
and Delicate, government departments such as Veterinary
Services (DVS) and Livestock Production and Development
(LPD) and Gwanda Rural District Council (GRDC).
The forum managed to link 14 buyers of livestock

Case Study
The beauty of conservation farming
Bekezela Dube, a widowed 46 year old farmer could as well have won a national prize for her vibrant crops
of maize and pearl millet. For everyone who attended the field day held at her field, the small plot had all
it takes to demonstrate the success of conservation farming as water harvesting and moisture conservation
technology. Dube has been described as a work horse by the people in her community. She got an appreciation
of conservation agriculture during the European Commission project which was implemented by Hlekweni
and Practical Action between 2006 and 2010 emphasizing on the use of dead level contours to harvest rain
water and build soil moisture reserves. After adopting the use of dead level contours way back then she had
not yet started seeing the benefit of conservation farming until now. It is this potholing which came with the
magic when it was introduced this year. I cant remember the last time we anticipated harvests such as these
curtsey of Gatshopo (potholing) said Bekezela jovially.
After our training in conservation farming we organized ourselves into groups and my group had five
members. We then started preparing our basins 15cm by 15cm and added a cup of well decomposed manure.
Preparation of potholes started around September before the rains. We
later learnt that we should have started around June and July so as to harvest every drop of rainfall including
the winter rains if any happen to fall. For my plot I decided to prepare two plots of 50m by 50m for pear
millet and another one same size for maize. For the two crops one plot is under CF while the other is under
convectional ploughing for comparisons purposes. However, looking at the crop even before harvesting like
we can all see, I can already tell that CF is the way to go and next season I will definitely have to increase my
hectrage under CF. added Bekezela.

Agro-Processing
The project supported local farmers and increased incomes
of at least 300 rural households through expansion of agroprocessing initiatives. Farmers were assisted with inputs
such as sunflower, seed, ground nuts seeds, basal fertilizers
and expertise on how to commercially produce the crops
so as to ensure continued supply. Farmers are now able to
process sunflower seeds into cooking oil, groundnut seeds
into peanut butter and fresh vegetables into dried vegetables
that could be stored and used throughout the year. These

Success Stories
One
Gaven Chapasuka, one of the beneficiaries and chairperson of an oil processing enterprise commented on the
impact created by the project in his life, The project has helped me to take sunflower seriously and improved
my skills on producing and processing the crop. I am now able to pay school fees for my children. My family
used to buy six litres of cooking oil per month but now we are able to process our own cooking oil. From the
proceeds of current oil processing machine Gaven hopes to be able to purchase another machine. He feels
that oil processing is already stimulating commercialization of indigenous poultry and piggery production
because they use sunflower cake which is high in nutrients for feeding animals
Two
Isaih Makoshore aged 40 is one of the lead farmers who has benefited from the indigenous poultry project.
He has a model fowl run for other farmers to copy from and also transfer information on veterinary diseases
and the use of poultry droppings to feed cattle. Expressing his appreciation for the newly acquired knowledge
for poultry production and the pass on scheme, Isaih acknowledge benefits from the inter dependencies of
the various projects where for instance waste from oil processing is used to feed poultry and in turn poultry
droppings are used in feed mixtures for cattle and goats.
Three
Feriyadi Ngoroma, the Agritex Extension Officer for village 1 confirmed, The farmers have been able to
successfully diversify and plant other crops and vegetables which they have traditionally never grown. In the
garden, the norm was tomatoes and rape, but now farmers are growing vegetables like beetroot, carrots,
onions and cabbages for sale. Each farmer earns around $40.00 a month from sales of garden produce and
this enables them to pay school fees, buy food and other consumables. Improved knowledge on vegetable
drying was also imparted to the groups. Local supermarkets are now buying dried vegetables (mufushwa)
particularly if it is processed and dried hygienically and well packaged.

Objectives:
Poor people in isolated rural communities have greater social and economic opportunities as a result of improved
infrastructure services.
Poor women, children and men in slums or peri-urban settlements have a better living environment leading to a
secure tenure, increased assets and incomes
Poor women, children and men are less at risk of diseases and disasters, as a result of improved housing and
services
During 2011-2012, the following projects addressed the Access to Infrastructure Services objective:
a. Promoting Examples of Participatory Local Empowerment in Urban Planning (PEOPLE UP)
b. Catalysing Modern Energy Service Delivery to marginal Communities in Southern Africa with the objective of
improving access to modern energy services and increase uptake of renewable energy technologies in poor rural
areas of Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe
c. Rural Sustainable Energy Development (OXFAM) with an objective of increasing access to modern, affordable and
sustainable renewable energy services for the rural population in Zimbabwe

Lessons Learnt
The emerging lessons from the project have provided critical questions in how delivery of energy access for the poor could
potentially be achieved. The project has developed tools for the economic appraisal of the project and also for the technical
design of the microhydro projects. In this section we highlight some of the key questions and some of the answers to them.
1. Does having productive end uses for energy help to make energy services more financially sustainable?
There is evidence among the poor communities (micro hydro project areas) that providing energy without
productive end use of the service compromises the system financial viability. The opposite might not necessarily
be true. Naturally there are operation and maintenance costs and often in the absence of payment for those
services the system will naturally die. Also providing services for meeting basic requirements need a backup of
ability to pay and often in rural communities livelihoods options is not diverse making it difficult to get extra
income to pay for energy services. Other factors are needed that include the ability and willingness to pay.
2. Are subsidies what is needed to reach the poorest energy users, in micro hydro projects?
What are needed are targeted subsidies for the poor that do not distort market systems. All rural electrification
projects in the sub Saharan Africa are based on some form of subsidy, thus there is a recognition that basic
infrastructure has to be in place before economic growth is fully realized. Although subsidies tend to encourage
dependency syndrome among the communities and limit their financial management and fundraising capacity,
it has been demonstrated that provision of energy to rural communities or the poor urban is not economically
viable due to among other factors geographic spread, low incomes etc. Subsidies will be required to stimulate
the market in some instances (e.g. capital subsidies of small hydro power through grants). To reach the poor
capital subsidies are easily extended to the poor through the provision of services to schools, clinics and business
centres, or irrigation facilities. At Chipendeke micro-hydro scheme, the local clinic having been a beneficiary of a
grant facility, has now been able to extend its reach to the population beyond its former boundaries and vaccines
are now readily available as people no longer have to travel long distances to towns 100km away in search
of treatment. In Zimbabwe Practical Action and the Rural Energy Agency have formed a partnership to work
together to develop appropriate technology options for reaching out the poor. Prepayment facility as enabled
communities to pay for the amount of electricity they can afford at a time.
3. Does a uniform financing model for communally managed micro hydro work across the board?
Different models have been realised in the regional micro schemes in which each scheme showcases different
ownership models. For example, in Mozambique an individual ownership model is more viable because the
communities believe communally owned development projects do not ensure sustainability. In Zimbabwe, there
are different cases that the project has proved; the shareholder model in Chipendeke, where contributors of
labour automatically become owners through a shareholder structure, and the institutionally managed systems in
Nyafaru Micro Hydro Scheme and Dazi micro-hydro schemes. Pre-paid system versus the fixed rate, in which prepaid system proves more viable and more sustainable where a consumer pays for what they use rather than a flat
fee which may not reflect the actual number of units used. Therefore pre-paid tariff systems may be used across
the board because of their sustainability but other models can be different depending on culture and tradition as
evidenced in the project.
21
4. Has the energy programme been able to influence policy through government, donors or financial
institutions, development agencies and the private sector to increase funding for energy access by the
poor?
MoU signed between Practical Action and Rural Electrification Agency on hydro energy projects in Zimbabwe
signifies the respect and recognition of each others strength and potential role in expanding energy access in
Zimbabwe. Practical Action is capacitating REA in doing technical as well socio-economic feasibility studies. Due
to this partnership there is push to change the mandate from Rural Electrification Agency to Rural Energy Agency
such that the organisation starts looking at other rural energy options not limited to electricity.
Practical Action and OXFAM GB submitted a joint project proposal submitted to EU for funding. The funding
was approved for a four year project for Mutare and Gutu districts of Zimbabwe. This project is influencing
OXFAM GB in implementing participatory methods which were drawn from the regional micro hydro project, and
these include identifying beneficiaries and priority areas of connections, these include, Business model trainings,
Community Based Planning (CBP), Energy Planning, Training for Transformation, Transitional Leadership Training
and Gender Mainstreaming in Energy projects.
Practical Action and a private energy company CONLOG Electrical of South Africa which resulted in the latter
contributing to the project on regional hydro by donating energy meters and the metering platform, providing
capacity building to Practical Action Staff and the community. The prepayment metering system has become one
of the greatest innovations to come with the regional hydro project and in March 2012 Practical Action Southern
Africa will be capacitating GIZ AMES Mozambique during an exchange visit to learn how the prepaid system
is applied in rural Micro hydro power schemes with the intention to introduce the same in Manica Province,
Mozambique.
5. Sustainable community based Approaches (CBA) of energy systems
The model of community participation has helped leverage additional skills and capacity from the communities.
Practical Action and partners have concentrated on providing technical skills such as the scheme design while
communities have done the actual construction work thereby providing labour. This has helped in achieving
ownership and in-building technical, financial and business skills which would lead to sustainability of the micro
hydro schemes.. To sustain CBM institutionalisation would be mandatory within the local and central government.
6. Community Based Approaches (CBA) requires capacity building. How has the project ensured that failure/
success of CBM gets reflected in what the community does?
Instead of having the annual review at organisational and stakeholder level only, the energy team resolved to
hold the community based annual reviews as well as having as many exchange visits as possible in a year. The
community reviews have created space for communities to review themselves in as far as their contribution to the
energy projects is concerned as well as reviewing capacity building trainings versus the actual implementation on
the ground. The communities have also managed to review implementing partners and the extent to which they
have improved livelihoods in their communities.
7.
22
Is it necessary for CBM systems to be linked to external support agencies, and if so, for what purposes?
What are the risks to these linkages beyond project duration?
Practical Action work seeks to demonstrate and influence others in the way they do work. This is done through
capacitating partners on participatory methods and community based approaches. For these approaches to work
there is need to capacitate everyone who works with Practical Action such the monitoring and evaluation systems
are uniform with what we want to achieve. It has been of paramount importance that the project has worked
with the external agencies such that there is shared understanding in what energy projects are trying to achieve.
There might be a problem with the external agencies ceasing to embrace how Practical Action implements its
energy projects, therefore to curb this risk a continuous relationship beyond project implementation should be
evaluated and monitored through post project evaluations. In order to influence others sustainable there is need
to capacitate our working partners.
Capacity building;
Enhancement of capacity and skills was done through
business trainings where communities were trained on basic
business ethics and management in order to financially
sustain the energy scheme. Training for transformation was

Waste Management
Based on the recommendations of a solid waste
management research conducted by the Training and
Research Support Centre (TARSC) and Civic Forum on
Housing (CFH) in Sakubva high density suburb in Mutare
2010 and the community based participatory planning
processes, the waste club collectors were formed with a
membership of 15 in each of the five participating wards.
Environment Africa, a local non-governmental organization
(NGO) conducted training workshops on solid waste
separation - organic and non-organic materials separation,
and organic materials composting. A site was allocated by
the local authority at the Old Sewage plant in Sakubva for
the waste clubs to operate from. However an environmental
impact assessment exercise is currently been conducted
by EMA on the site before work commences. Waste club
collectors used knowledge acquired to collect organic
waste for composting at households in the different wards
and establishing low inputs gardens.

Case Study
With New Training, Brickmaking business Booms
Zimunya struggled to turn a profit before receiving training and technical assistance from Practical Action
Southern Africa through a partner, the Ministry of Small and Medium Term Enterprises. Now, he is able to
mould and supply 1,000 bricks a week, which he then sells to residents in Sakubva and other small-scale
construction companies in the suburb. Before, these communities relied on bricks from bigger companies,
which were often beyond their economic reach. With businesses like Zimunya's, residents in the area are
assured of competitive prices, translating into improved shelter.With the boom in business, Zimunya has also
been able to hire two people. We are very happy for the project's support that has seen our business and
work here increasing. It offers us more job security, said Michael Mundita, one of Zimunya's employees.
While trading in low volumes of bricks previously has not yielded profits for small-scale brick makers in
Zimbabwe, training and technical skills provided by the PEOPLE UP project is transforming the industry and
creating an enabling environment for both business people and urban residents. Zimunya struggled to turn
