The scorching sun that bakes Masvingo province, Zimbabwe, is no longer a relentless foe for its farmers.
In the face of a devastating El Niño-induced drought, a beacon of hope has emerged – a solar-powered irrigation scheme. This innovative project, spearheaded by the Initiative Lead of Diversification in East and Southern Africa (Ukama Ustawi), is proving to be a lifeline for Masvingo's villages, empowering them to adapt to climate change and secure their food security.
However, Siwadhi's story took a dramatic turn when he was selected to participate in Ukama Ustawi's green energy agricultural scheme. This initiative, implemented across 12 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, is transforming lives.
From Despair to Hope: A Stitch in Time
Julius Siwadhi, a Masvingo farmer, knows the despair of dwindling harvests all too well. Traditionally reliant on rain-fed agriculture, he watched his future shrivel as predictions of poor rains materialized. The prospect of feeding his family during the dry season seemed bleak.However, Siwadhi's story took a dramatic turn when he was selected to participate in Ukama Ustawi's green energy agricultural scheme. This initiative, implemented across 12 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, is transforming lives.

Over 20,000 farmers, including Siwadhi, have been equipped with solar-powered irrigation kits, a powerful tool in the fight against drought.
Solar Power: Fueling Food Security
The impact of the solar-powered irrigation scheme is undeniable. While this year's harvest reflects the harsh realities of climate change, Siwadhi is no longer at its mercy. He is able to cultivate a variety of crops, including finger millet, millet, vegetables, and beans, providing sustenance for his family and a sense of self-reliance. "We have adapted to climate change," he declares with newfound confidence, "and we can now handle the coming climate changes as well."Sharing Knowledge, Building Resilience
Ukama Ustawi goes beyond simply providing equipment. It fosters a spirit of collaboration and knowledge exchange. Farmers from Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ethiopia, Malawi, and Kenya come together to learn from each other's experiences, sharing best practices for climate-smart agriculture. Inga Jacobs-Mata, Director for Water, Growth and Inclusion at the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), emphasizes the importance of capacity building and knowledge transfer. "We see this initiative as enabling capacity building and capacity sharing," she states.Empowering Women, Strengthening Families
The project extends its reach beyond men like Siwadhi. Women like Florence Chimhini are finding their own voices and agency through Ukama Ustawi. Prior to the project, Chimhini struggled to provide for her family. Now, with access to solar irrigation and essential farming knowledge, she is empowered to contribute to her household's food security. IWMI gender researcher Ojong Baa Enokenwa emphasizes the importance of including women in this agricultural revolution, stating, "We want the knowledge to be transferred and we are happy as we saw that happening, that is what Ukama Ustawi is all about."Looking Towards a Brighter Future
As the sun continues to shine on Masvingo, it no longer represents a threat, but a source of life. The solar-powered irrigation scheme is a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration. |

By equipping farmers with the tools and knowledge they need, Ukama Ustawi is building resilience in the face of climate change. This project serves as a beacon of hope, not just for Masvingo, but for communities across Africa struggling with similar challenges.
With continued support and knowledge sharing, these communities can not only survive but thrive, ensuring a brighter, more food-secure future.
