FOREWORD BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHIREDZI RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL
Over the years, the Chiredzi district’s socio-economic development has been hinged on its
natural resources and cultural diversity. The increasing population however as well as the
advent of climate change, has increasingly put pressure on finite resources and hence
negatively skewed the structure of the economy. The district’s insurmountable physical
barriers such as natural landscape and aridity, coupled with marginalization, have also led to
limitations that have constrained the development of the district. Chiredzi Rural District
Council has, however, focused on the sustainable utilization of opportunities that the
landscape presents, hence, has been marketing the district as a prime investment destination.
It is against this backdrop, therefore, that the need for a modelled development framework
becomes imperative. The Council has prioritized a comprehensive approach to planning
which is needed to achieve multiple land goals in response to the aforementioned limitations.

In the ten-year Nyangambe land use plan, the Chiredzi Rural District Council, and the
community seek to adapt and modify the local environment through sustainable means, and
the bulky of the issues that the land use plan deals with speak to good governance. Both the
development and adoption of the Nyangambe Land Use Plan, (NLUP), the Chiredzi Rural
District Council has prepared for its community, a development dashboard that will guide
local residents, development partners, and potential investors. If implemented effectively, this
community will become a model of order, and tenure security which are key components of
development.

This plan is a statutory requirement and was prepared in accordance with the Regional Town
and Country Planning Act (Chapter 29:12), which provides for the planning of regions,
districts, and local areas. It is also in line with the dictates of the district’s strategic plan
which is embedded in the sustainable development goals.

The capacity of the Chiredzi Rural District Council staff and the community members will be
enhanced during the ten years of implementing the plan. This dovetails very well with the
Council’s crosscutting goal of partnerships and overall planning and development. A
monitoring and evaluation matrix for the plan will be developed by the council and this will
be used to track annual progress in terms of the implementation of the plan which helps bring
up front and in real-time, issues that require policy makers’ intervention, of course with
support from the office of the District Development Co-ordinator.

It is the Council’s hope that during the tenure of the Plan, there will be economic stability and
equitable benefit sharing emanating from Good Governance of natural resources, which in
turn attracts partnerships and investment.

Introduction

The USAID Resilience through accelerating new Community-based Holistic Outcomes for Resource
Sustainability (USAID Resilience ANCHORS) project, has the overarching goal 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.

To Improve economic benefits from strengthened community-level governance, the project seeks to support
the Nyangambe community to develop a Ward-level land-use plan to be adopted by the community. The land

Use plan will guide the community to develop and implement management and action plans to sustainably
utilize local resources. The land-use plan will also inform current and future development and action plans
spearheaded by the community.

The Nyangambe Rural Community falls under the jurisdiction of the Chiredzi Rural District council as Ward 23 of
Chiredzi. The Chiredzi RDC is the primary land and Planning Authority for all developments in the ward. The RDC,
therefore, is the custodian of all development plans for the ward and is accountable for all the local development
plans. On the ground, the RDC is represented by the local councilor, with Ward and Village development committees
at the ward and village level respectively.

The Land Use planning process was initiated by the RDC following a realized need for systematic management of
current resources without compromising the ability of future generations to utilize the same resource. The RDC
environmental executive committee recommended for the Land-use planning process to be conducted with
community members in Nyangambe. Following the recommendation, the proposal was discussed in the full council
meeting and a resolution was passed to allow the resilience ANCHORs project to proceed with facilitating the
development of the Nyangambe Ward-level Land Use plan. Below is an attachment of the RDC resolution for the
Resilience ANCHORS project to proceed with the Land-Use planning process in Chiredzi Ward 23 – Nyangambe

Scope
The development of the Nyangambe Ward-level land Use plan was guided by a framework developed and
refined by AWF and Chiredzi Rural District Development Committee (RDDC). The framework was developed
using community-based panning approaches that ensure community participation at all levels.

The framework clearly defined all the stages to be followed in the Land-Use planning process and is
detailed below.
1. Step 1: Identification of Visions, Goals, Objectives, and Intended Outcomes
2. Step 2: Situation Analysis / Ward Profiling (Current Situation, Gaps, and Conflicts)
3. Step 3: Integrated Planning and Negotiation
4. Step 4: Adoption and Implementation and of the Plan
5. Step 5: Monitoring and Evaluation System

Below is the developed Land Use planning Framework detailing the process and what data has to be
gathered at each stage of the process.

Introduction
The demand for land as a key factor of production has over the years increased with pressure being exerted
on natural forests and woodlands through conversion to agricultural land. This has also been exacerbated by
global population increase and subsequently increased pressure on natural resources upon which human
populations depend. Furthermore, increasing agricultural production to meet global population demands will
lead to increased competition for natural resources and loss of biodiversity.

This, therefore, calls for a systematic approach to the management of natural resources which entails
careful land-use planning which aims at resilience building and management of ecosystems for optimal
provision of ecosystem services. Land use plans should therefore be developed in the context of
implementable Sustainable management (SLM) practices in an enabling environment with relevant
policies, legislation, and secure tenure.

Overview
Land Use refers to the arrangements, activities, and inputs people undertake in a certain land cover type to
produce, change, or maintain it (FAO/UNEP, 1999).

It reflects both:

1) The activities undertaken, inputs, and

2) the institutional arrangements put in place for a given area for socio-economic production, or the
maintenance and restoration of environmental functions.

Land use should not be confused with Land cover (Which Is the bio-physical cover on the earth's surface)

Land use is ohen a product of landscape pressures from people, such as population growth, settlement and
housing patterns, infrastructure, economic development, sectoral trends, infrastructure, and conservation. It
is also now driven by climate change and variability.

Land Use Planning

Land use planning is the systematic assessment of land and water use potential to select and adopt the
best land-use options for land-use and socio-economic conditions, it includes regulating the use of land
by a central authority. Usually, this is done to promote more desirable social and environmental
outcomes as well as more efficient use of resources.

Land-use planning uses tools for achieving sustainable and efficient use of resources, considering
biophysical and socioeconomic dimensions.

Objectives

To carry out Land Use Planning with Rural Communities, the Objectives of the Planning Process should be
clearly defined beforehand. Objectives should seek to address the following:

- Biodiversity conservation
- Diversified livelihoods and improved incomes
- Better Environmental Management Practices
- Sustainable resource Use

The Land Use Planning Process for Rural Communities involves a Participatory approach with Full
stakeholder and Community participation. Stakeholder Engagement helps prepare for the Planning
Process with the Community. The Broad steps and Activities below will be used as a guideline for the LUP
process:

Step 1: Identification of Visions, Goals, Objectives, and Intended Outcomes

This is the first stage of the LUP process and should be conducted with the key stakeholders to set
priorities and environmental objectives. In this stage, facilitators help stakeholders and community
members in identifying goals and visions for land use planning. This is used for determining the intended
outcomes and objectives for achieving the said outcomes.

A Vision is Broad and gives context to what the community/ Stakeholders would like to see as the desired
state of the environment. For example, one group can Identify a vision towards Biodiversity conservation
and maintenance of Wilderness, another may be more interested in poverty alleviation, economic
development, etc.

Below are examples of Broad Objectives and expected Outcomes to Guide the planning process.

Integrated land-use planning Expected outcome / Goal

objective
Sustainable soil and land The plan should contribute to eliminating the main
management (SSM/SLM) soil/land threats, and work to avoid, reduce and reverse
land
degradation, to achieve the land degradation neutrality
targets.
Food security and land use reduction The transformation of fertile agricultural lands into lands
to protect fertile agricultural areas for urbanization or industrial zones should be prevented to
from other forms of land use the extent possible. The plan must help to reduce land
(urbanization, industry) abandonment.
Multi/sectoral and participatory The plan should consider the needs of different sectors and
planning the requirements of various stakeholders including the local
community and farmers and should be harmonious with
national environmental priorities.
Zoning: Delineating land areas Specifically agreed zoning to delimit present and future
agricultural, forest, and urban areas should be established.
Harmonizing interventions between While protecting fertile agricultural and forested lands, the
sectors plan must also provide alternatives for other sectors including
tourism and industry, while avoiding negative impacts on land
resources and livelihoods, etc.
Ensuring climate change resilience, In determining optimal land -use scenarios, the protection
biodiversity protection, and of biodiversity and water availability must be prioritized and
ecosystem management climate change vulnerabilities should be taken into account.

The Broad Objectives should then be used to develop SMART sub- Objectives/ Activities.

1
Step 2: Situation Analysis / Ward Profiling (Current Situation, Gaps, and
Conflicts)
(This step culminates in the production of detailed ward profiles)

This step seeks to assess the current situation on the ground and profile the target communities (District,
wards, or Villages). This should help identify the normal landscape-level situation using a Current Trends
Scenario (What business as usual is like). This data can be gathered using inventories, Geospatial data, Key
Informant Interviews, Focus group Discussions, Participatory Rural Appraisals, and consultation meetings with
stakeholders.

The analysis should include an assessment of land-use changes in the past and the suitability of
agricultural production systems, wildlife, forestry, and rangeland management, as well as eco-tourism and
other expected activities, examining the socio-economic drivers and opportunities related to each of
these sectors. The details and scales are determined by the integrated land use planning objectives. This
information should be supported by GIS cartography that shows clearly the main land uses, areas of
degradation, and current conflicts.

The following thematic areas have to be used to collect the relevant data:

 Review of existing plans: Stakeholders Identify sectoral plans available in the target areas and review
them based on functionality, state, and last review. Relevant Plans include Land Use plans, DRR plans,
Development plans, fire management plans, Asset Management plans, etc.

 Policy and Law assessment: The community and Stakeholders identify key policies and laws governing
the use and access to Natural Resources in the community. Facilitators can help Identify Gaps and
Opportunities in the Policy and Legislative frameworks.

 Stakeholder and Institution analysis: This involves the Identification of key institutions in the Target areas
and their thematic areas. Institutions should include community-based institutions and their role in the
community.

 Participatory Mapping- provides a valuable visible representation of what a community perceives about
their environment and the significant features within it. In the Participatory Mapping exercise,
Community maps are drawn by various members of the community to capture different
perspectives and issues. Women, men, and children may identify different land use and resource
issues. More so, people from different social statuses and backgrounds may have differing
perspectives, ideas, and issues

Integration with GIS: Most effective with Trace Mapping, where the community
uses transparent paper to trace on a Map produced from a GIS. The output can be Geo-
referenced and digitized to produce a digital Map

 Gender analysis: Community Members and Stakeholders identify the gendered dynamic around control
and access to resources

 Livelihood analysis: Identification of major livelihoods in the community, the benefits and
associated challenges of each

Step 3: Integrated Planning and Negotiation

This step follows the production review and feedback on the ward profiles.

This step includes a discussion between different sectors, institutions, and stakeholders about priorities,
opportunities, and actions to accomplish Integrated Land Use Planning objectives in the target
community. Community members work closely with Govt stakeholders, NGOs, and Local institutions to
develop plans to be implemented towards achieving the set objectives. All concerned stakeholders
(Including community members) Prioritize activities to be implemented.

Land Zonation: The community builds on the Participatory mapping exercise to delineate land use zones. This
activity should consider forest conservation and restoration suitability, crop suitability, cost and benefits
assessments, and the development of production scenarios for land uses and specific croplands.

The optimum land-use option should consider the pillars of sustainable development:
 Social acceptability
 Environmental sustainability
 Economically Viable
 Legally Possible in the current Policy and Legislative environment

1
Community Action Planning: For each Identified Zone, The community has to identify activities to be carried
out to achieve the desired state of the environment. The Activities can be categorized into different sectors as
identified by the community members as follows:

1. Biodiversity
2. Agriculture and Settlements
3. Social Services
4. Infrastructure

The activities should:

- Be Specific: Community Members to identify the actual realistic activities that will contribute towards
achieving goals, objectives, and the Vision. (Avoid Generalization as this is difficult to Monitor and
Evaluate)

- Define Support Systems: In many cases, Stakeholders offer technical support towards the
achievement of set activities. There should be a commitment from each Stakeholder to provide
necessary technical support towards the community achieving its vision.

- Be Time-Bound: Each activity is to be accompanied by a realistic timeline in which it will be

achieved. This should also take into consideration, the resources available for carrying out the
activity.

The Action Plan can be drafted as follows.

Sector Adaptive Management Responsible Support

authority services
Desired state and Activities Time Frame
opportunities

Step 4: Adoption and Implementation and of the Plan

Once Finalized, the plan has to be Endorsed by local leadership, the Rural district council and be adopted
into the District development plan. This ensures guaranteed support from district stakeholders in a plan
that has been adopted at the district level.

Implementation of the Plan should be led by the community through its development structures, and
they should seek guidance in every step from the relevant stakeholders.

Step 5: Monitoring and Evaluation System

This provides a basis to set up mechanisms that allow Review and analysis of the Land Use Plans. This process
should be led by local institutions in collaboration with Stakeholders. It also allows for continuous
improvement of the process and activities therein, while evaluating the successes and Challenges.
The Action Plan should include a periodic review plan either Annually or Bi-annually to allow for the
Monitoring and Evaluation of the Plans.

The above guidelines are not a rulebook for the development and implementation of ward-level land use
plans, or any Land use plan. They are to be applied on a case-by-case basis and can be adapted to match
local environments and situations. In this case, the framework was implemented in different ways across
the different wards in the landscape, and each application method is detailed in this report. Particularly
for Nyangambe, the Land Use Plan was integrated with water resource management planning and the
following procedure was followed in the development of the Ward-level land use plan:

i. Desk study
ii. Situation analysis/ Ward profiling:
iii. Village-level consultations for resilience planning and Land Use planning
iv. Land Use Map validation and feedback with the community
v. Ward-level Action planning and micro-zonation – Using the Scenario planning process
vi. Validation of the Land-use plan with the local community
vii. Endorsement and adoption at the community level through the RDC

Activities conducted

Desk Study
The desk study was conducted to gain a general understanding of the Ward based on data available from
the Zimstats repository, Poverty atlas, Rural WASH information Management System (RWIMS), and other
data sources. An examination of the ward via satellite imagery was also conducted to show the different
land cover types in the ward.

Situation Analysis / Ward Profiling

To understand the local environment, in Ward 23, a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) was conducted with
the Nyangambe community on 20 October 2021. The PRA was conducted with the community in the form of
focus

1
group discussions following FAO guidelines on conducting Participatory Rural Appraisals. The meetings
sought to gather information on the socio-economic environment in Nyangambe, the Bio-physical
environment, current land uses among other emerging issues. In total, the meeting was attended by 42
(29 male; 13 female) community members with representation in the following community groups: (The
group size for the meeting had to be limited due to COVID-19 protocols)

- Community leadership;- Village heads, headmen, and the local councilors

- Youths: - Males and females aged 18 to 35
- Elderly men and women
- People living with disabilities

Different government stakeholders participated in the PRA sessions and each stakeholder-led or
participated in one or more focus groups depending on the theme of the discussions. Below is a list of
the government departments which participated in the PRA sessions:

Focus groups represented by community leaders, women, men, youths, and other community representatives
discussed the issues identified below cutting across all gender groups of sex and age.

a. Livelihoods analysis The

main aim of this activity is to:
- Identify the major sources of livelihood in the community
- Rank these livelihood sources based on their overall importance
- Identify constraints and gaps associated with each livelihood source

b. Stakeholder analysis
This activity aimed at identifying different institutions and stakeholders working in the ward and how
they interact with community members. Their role in the community is also identified and
documented.

c. Resource Assessment and Mapping

This activity was led by the RDC environmental departments, EMA and Forestry Commission in
conjunction with the ward level resource monitors. The exercise sought to:
- Identify natural resources found in the community and identify areas where they are found
- Identify environmental issues/ aspects being experienced in the community
- Identify drivers of environmental change with regards to the identified environmental issues
Identify environmental impacts and possible solutions to the impacts

The PRA exercise also included a mapping exercise where community members identified different land
uses in the ward on a 1: 15 000 aerial photograph. Each land use was delineated on the map and
digitized to produce

1
a Ward land use map. A one-day reconnaissance survey was also conducted as part of the PRA following the
focus group discussions to provide a fuller understanding of the ward and its biophysical environment.

The findings of the PRA exercise were compiled into the ward profile (attached below), to provide a
snapshot of the ward. The Profile provides detailed information on the socio-economic environment in
Chiredzi Ward 23 along with the biophysical environment.

Village Consultation meetings

Chiredzi ward 23- Nyangambe, has a total of 11 villages scattered across the ward. Conducting one ward
meeting at the ward center has proven difficult as often community members have to travel distances over
10km to get to the ward center. Furthermore, meeting small groups can yield better results than conducting a
planning session with a single big group at the ward center. It was on this background that village-level
meetings were conducted to develop action plans at the village level.

Local-level action plans have numerous advantages, the biggest of which is the fact that there is a derived
sense of ownership by the locals as the plans are developed without the influence of a bigger group.
Community members can also focus on local problems and devise means of dealing with such at the local
level.

Based on this background, 5 cluster meetings, each with two or three villages were conducted to develop
local action plans. The action planning meetings were led by the EMA head of department and facilitated
by the Forestry commission head of department. The table below summarises the attendance in all the
meetings at the cluster level.

The resilience planning sessions were started by a

short training session on resilience building at the
community level. This was aimed at equipping the
participants with skills in the development of
resilience plans. The training focused on the
community's ability to identify their productive and
adaptive capacities to build local resilience using the
scenario planning process. The training participants
used the problem tree to identify problems, their root
causes, and effects before mapping ways of dealing
with each problem. The diagram below shows the
problem tree and how it was used by the community.
The most common problem identified in Nyangambe
is the shortage of clean and safe water, being caused
mainly by droughts. The effects thereof are
associated with a reduced adaptive capacity of the
community to cope with the changing climate. Figure
1 illustrates a problem tree made by Village 3
community while identifying shrinking grazing lands
as a major problem in the community.

All the village action plans were consolidated into the

ward-level action plan which was further developed
Figure 1: Problem tree for Grazing lands
into the Land Use plan.

Ward level Action planning and Zonation
Following the Village consultation meetings, Ward level meetings were called from 22 to 23 March to
consolidate the village action plans into the ward-level action plan. The planning process was preceded
by a full-day training on the scenario planning process.

The scenario planning process allows community members to use different scenarios to plan for the
future based on different identified problems. The different problems identified during the village
consultation meetings were used to create different scenarios for the planning process. The scenario
planning process focused on identifying success criteria, risk assessment, required resources, and an end
phase.

Community members were encouraged to conduct a PEST/EL (Political, Economic, Social and
Technology. Environmental and Livelihoods) analysis for each scenario followed by identifying possible
pitfalls in each scenario. Attached below is the training guide used for the Scenario planning session that
was integrated into the resilience planning guide used in the village consultation meetings.

17
During the ward meeting, community members identified five different areas in which to create different
scenarios for purposes of planning. The following themes were identified:

- Community conservancy
- Crop production
- Livestock Production
- Water
- Infrastructure development

Community participants were divided into four groups, each to tackle one theme, and worked in these groups
to develop action plans for each theme. The action plans were agreed to be SMART, that is; Specific,
Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound.

Following the planning sessions, and consolidation of the land-use plan, community members agreed to
conduct a validation meeting with the whole community to validate the Land use plan. After validation,
the RDC environmental executive sub-committee will table the plan in a full-council meeting for adoption
at the RDC. This is aimed at ensuring that the plan is incorporated into the local district development
plans.

Land-Use map validation

As a follow-up activity from the land use mapping exercise. The Resilience ANCHORS project printed the
digitized land-use maps and presented them to the community for validation. The community
appreciated the work done to produce the land-use maps and made recommendations on how the map
can be improved. The community also noted areas on the maps that needed to be changed as they were
not properly represented on the map. Overall, the following recommendations were made by the
community:

- The maps can be printed on thicker paper to increase durability. The community requested that at
least 4 copies of the finalized maps be printed on canvas for archiving in the community.
- Some of the lands used on the map were not properly represented and need to be changed to the
correct representation. e.g. Village 3 irrigation scheme had been represented as dryland crop fields
and settlements for certain villages were not represented on the map.
- Map and feature boundaries need to be updated: The new proposed boundary of the
conservancy is represented on the map as the current boundary and needs changing.
- The current state of functionality of boreholes needs to be updated according to the current
situation.

Below is an image showing the Resilience ANCHORS conservation planner presenting the Land-Use map to the
community.

Introduction

1.1 Background
The South-Eastern Lowveld (SEL) of Zimbabwe which forms part of the Greater Limpopo Trans-Frontier Conservation Area
(GLTFCA) is a region of great ecological importance in Zimbabwe. It consists of the Gonarenzou national park and,
private wildlife conservancies; Save Valley Conservancy (SVC), Bubye Valley Conservancy, and Buffalo Ranch as well as
communally run conservancies and related wildlife programs such as Nyangambe and Malipati in Chiredzi and Mahenye in
Chipinge. Gonarenzou national park is the third-largest national park in the country whilst, SVC is the largest private
wildlife conservancy in Africa. In addition, the Lowveld consists of communal lands, resettlement areas, and privately-
owned sugar plantations, all adjacent to one or more of the important wildlife areas.
The Resilience through Accelerating New Community-based Holistic Outcomes for Resource Sustainability (Resilience
ANCHORS) funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) supports local communities
surrounding the SVC by building their resilience to environmental shocks and stresses.
The Resilience ANCHORS project is supporting the development and implementation of Land-Use Plans in the target
communities surrounding the SVC (Chiredzi Ward 1 and 23, Bikita Wards 24, 25 and 26, Chipinge Wards 29 and 30). The
project has adopted an inclusive Land-Use Planning Process that seeks to foster active participation of the target
communities and the stakeholders they work with.
The Land-Use Planning process began in August of 2021 with a stakeholder consultation process to develop and agree on
a framework for the process. The stakeholders that participated are members of the District Development Committees led
by the District development Coordinators in both Chiredzi and Bikita districts. Community consultations then followed,
to gain a fuller understanding of the target community. The consultations sought to gather information on the
following:

1. Current Land Uses and Practices

2. Local institutions and how they work with the community
3. Major sources of livelihood
4. Social Services

The methodology detailed below outlines the process through which data was collected and compiled into the Ward
profiles.

Methodology and Approach

The community consultations used a Participatory approach where community members led by government stakeholders
discussed thematic issues as guided by the framework. The following methods were used to gather information :

1. Focus Group discussion

2. Participatory mapping
3. Field Surveys (Transect walks)

Focus Group discussions and Participatory mapping exercises were conducted during a community workshop, where
different themes were discussed with leading roles played by different stakeholders. Community meetings were
attended by traditional leaders, Youths, women, men, and representatives of vulnerable groups, IGAs, and the business
community. During each community workshop, community members were divided into four focus groups to
address the following topical issues :
a. Livelihoods analysis
b. Stakeholder analysis

2
c. Resource Assessment and mapping
d. Participatory mapping

1. Focus Group discussions

Focus groups represented by community leaders, women, men, youths, and other community representatives
discussed the issues identified above. These discussions cut across all gender groups of sex and age.

a. Livelihoods analysis
The main aim of this activity is to:
 Identify the major sources of livelihood in the community
 Rank these livelihood sources based on their overall importance
 Identify constraints and gaps associated with each livelihood source

b. Stakeholder analysis
This activity aims at identifying different institutions and stakeholders working in the Ward and
how they interact with community members. Their role in the community is also identified and
documented.

c. Resource Assessment and Mapping

This activity was led by the RDC environmental departments, EMA and Forestry
Commission in conjunction with the Ward level resource monitors. The exercise sought to:
 Identify natural resources found in the community and identify areas where they are found
 Identify environmental issues/ aspects being experienced in the community
 Identify drivers of environmental change with regards to the identified environmental issues
 Identify environmental impacts and possible solutions to the impacts

2. Participatory Mapping

For this exercise, 1: 20 000 aerial maps were printed to be used in the participatory mapping exercise,
showing clear Ward boundaries, natural features such as forests, mountains rivers, roads, and crop
fields. Community members were asked to identify key features on the map to be used as reference
points. Using transparent paper, community members traced on top of the maps to highlight the
following:
 Current main land Uses
 Village boundaries
 Ward Boundaries

2
  Locations of important infrastructure and social services, (Schools, clinics, boreholes, bridges, and
roads)

The traced maps were then georeferenced, loaded into ArcGIS, and digitized to produce digital maps showing
land uses, village boundaries, locations of natural and man-made features.

Figure 2: Participatory mapping exercise in Nyangambe and a part of a traced map.

Other information collected during the focus group discussions include :

 Information on wildlife and incidences of human-wildlife conflict

 Agricultural productivity and common crops grown
 Local economy
 Wildlife resources

3. Field Surveys

Following the community workshop, reconnaissance surveys were conducted in the targeted Wards to
appreciate the Ward. The survey sought to ground-truth the information collected during the community
workshop meeting. During the surveys, 1km transect walks were conducted at randomly selected points
in the Ward to:

 Identify different land Uses in the community

 Identify major vegetation formations and dominant trees
 Gain a general appreciation of the soil types in different parts of the Wards
 Identify key natural features that can be useful in the description of the Ward
 Identify man-made features of communal importance, such as schools, water points, irrigation
schemes, and health centers

The field survey information was used to make a general description of the Ward-based on
i. Physical and Biotic characteristics
ii. Vegetation
iii. Land-Use and land cover

The information collected from the focus group discussions, participatory mapping exercises, and
reconnaissance surveys was collated and compiled into this Ward Profile. The information was also
augmented by information from litérature as will be indicated in this report.

Chiredzi District Ward 23 - Nyangambe

1.0 Description of the Ward

Chiredzi Ward 23, also known as Nyangambe, is a communal ward with a population of approximately 1103
households with a population of 5,331 people(ZimStat. 2016). The Ward is subdivided into 15 villages, divided
mainly by roads and rivers.

Nyangambe has a total area of approximately 18,700Ha. It is located approximately 40 km North of Chiredzi
town and forms a boundary with the Save Valley Conservancy (SVC) on the South-western border of SVC. The
Ward is in natural region five, receiving an average annual rainfall of 450mm. The temperatures range from 15
to 20 °C in winter and 30 to 35°C in summer (source). The southern boundary is a water canal that stretches
South- Eastwards from the Manjerenje Dam and traverses the boundary between Nyangambe and Ward 20 of
Chiredzi District. The Ward also borders with the Mkwasine sugar estates on the Southern side. Figure 3 below
illustrates the location of Ward 23 and the surrounding areas.

Figure 3: Chiredzi Ward 23, Nyangambe

2.0 Physical and Biotic Characteristics

This section will describe the Ward based on physical and biotic characteristics observed during the
reconnaissance survey. A review of the literature was also conducted to gather more information on
biophysical characteristics. The observations were made on the following:

- Vegetation: Formations, Dominant species, important vegetation communities.

- Topography: Nature of the terrain and drainage
- Soils: Soil types, parent material, and productivity
- Wildlife: Important wildlife species and Human-wildlife conflict

2
Follow-ups with key informants were made in areas where clarification was sought, based on
observations made during the reconnaissance surveys.

2.1 Topography

Nyangambe is characterized by relatively flat land, with hilly terrain in some areas characteristic of the North-
western region of the South-eastern Lowveld of Zimbabwe. The area is relatively flat in the central parts of
the Ward with hills and rocky outcrops in the Northwestern and South-Eastern parts of the Ward. The image
below shows the topography of Nyangambe.

Figure 4: Nyangambe Topographic map. Source: ESRI, NASA, NGA, USGS, Garmin,

The southern part of the Ward has been set aside as a community wildlife conservancy; co-opted into the SVC.
Over 70% of the land cover is set aside for dry-land crop production with the south-eastern region
characterized by natural woodlands and un-disturbed land. Other land cover types include forested areas,
open woodlands, and wooded grasslands.

The Ward has two major rivers, Mkwasine river forming the Ward boundary with SVC from the North
stretching South-Eastwards and Nyangambe river cutting across the Ward flowing into the community
conservancy. These rivers are seasonal and provide irrigation water for household use, vegetable gardens, and
livestock watering.

Nyangambe has characteristic sandy loams derived from the granite parent material in the Ward. These
soils are poorly drained and have very poor water and nutrient retention capacity with high erodibility.
As a result, the rain-fed agricultural land is susceptible to erosion and nutrient leaching even by agents of
low erosivity.

The low-lying areas of the Ward and the river flood plains have depositional soils with typical secondary
clay type soils. These are ideal for crop production and farmers have irrigation schemes and nutrition
gardens in these areas.

2
2.2 Vegetation

The Ward is generally open, with most settled areas having been cleared of vegetation for crop fields and
settlements. Testimonies from community members show that the whole Ward used to be forested
since they moved in during the early 80s, and people have been clearing land to establish settlements
and crop fields. Today, most wooded formations occur in the hills and are a major source of fuelwood for
community members. More wooded areas occur along watercourses characteristic of greener riparian
vegetation. The south-eastern region of the Ward, which is not settled contains more intact vegetation,
with the characteristic open savannah woodland. This region of the Ward is deliberately leh intact for
wildlife management and ecotourism.

Vegetation in the Ward is typically dominated by Mopane (Colophospermum mopane) woodlands, Acacia spp,
and mixed Combretum spp on alluvial soils, basalt, and sandstones(Farrell 1968). The buffer zone, between
the community settlements and the conservancy, is set aside as a livestock grazing area and contains more
wooded formations.

There is clear evidence of deforestation around the Ward as evidenced by the clearing of land previously
set aside as grazing land. This can be seen as one scans through the Ward, seeing areas that have been
slashed and burned to create space for crop production. Trees are also cut for fuelwood timber, sold in
the nearby Chiredzi town and surrounding areas. Areas that had previously been set aside as grazing
lands have been decreasing in size as a result of settlements being established in these areas.
Community members stated that this is mainly due to population increase and a corresponding increase
in demand for land, leading to local residents establishing new settlements, along with other new
settlers from neighboring Wards and districts.

Vegetation formations in some parts of the Ward show evidence of recovering ecosystems in their early
ecological succession stages. Stands dominated by Silver leaf (Terminalia spp), and Chinese lantern
(Dichrostachys cinerea), show evidence of prior disturbance by fire, overgrazing, or clearing for cultivation.
These areas are ohen used for grazing livestock with other areas being used as new settlements in the Ward.

Figure 5: A Clear-Cut stand for dry-Land Agriculture. Evidence of Deforestation in Ward 23

2.2 Wildlife

The Community Conservancy is approximately 3790 ha (From ArcGIS Estimations) and is an important habitat
for a variety of wildlife communities. Community members reported that the commonly found types of
wildlife in the Ward include Elephants, Lions, Buffalo, Baboons, and Hyenas. Other wildlife found in the
community conservancy includes giraffes, impala, African wild dogs among others.

2
The above-listed wildlife is often encountered in the community, with constant conflict with community
members as they raid crop fields and livestock. Most crop raids are instigated by baboons which have been
reported a menace, especially in the irrigation schemes and community nutrition gardens. Elephants pose a
greater threat to dry-land crop production as they raid complete crop fields. Community members have
reported that the elephants often come to the settled areas of the Ward in search of water, finding refuge in
the grazing areas with minimal human disturbance. Lions, on the other hand, poses the greatest threat to
livestock. Officials at the RDC have reported an annual average of 25 cases of livestock predation by lions only
in the Ward.

Important wildlife species in the communal areas include members of the big five such as elephants, lions,
and buffalo. These bring important revenue streams through trophy hunting. The community wildlife project
is one of the few in the country where the community is responsible for managing their wildlife resources for
income generation. Nyangambe Ward is adjacent to the Save Valley conservancy, a predominantly wildlife
management area that extends along the south-eastern border with the community. Community members
reported that the commonly found types of wildlife in the Ward include Elephants, Lions, buffalo, baboons,
and hyenas.

The above-listed wildlife is often encountered in the community with constant conflict with community
members as they raid crop fields and livestock. Other wildlife found in the community conservancy
includes giraffes, impala, African wild dogs among other bird species.

Important wildlife species in the communal areas include members of the big five such as elephants,
lions, and buffalo. Interface with these wild animals has resulted in rampant Human-wildlife conflict in
the community with crop raids and livestock being raided by wild animals. Interaction between humans
and wildlife is often in the communal woodlands which act as a buffer zone between the communal
lands and the community conservancy.

3.0 Land Use

The Map below summarizes the Land Uses in the Ward, based on sketch maps drawn by the community
(See figure 2 – Methodology and Approach). The sketch maps done by the community during participatory
mapping sessions were digitized in ArcGIS Pro to indicate the different land uses.

2
Nyangambe rural Ward is a resettlement area, administered through the Chiredzi Rural district council. The
communal area is a predominantly agricultural Ward, relying on rain-fed agriculture for crops such as
sorghum, millet, and other drought-resistant crops. At least 60% of the Ward's population relies on growing
crops on irrigated land. The irrigation schemes in the Ward, totaling approximately 900Ha support are
supported by the Manjirenji – Mkwasine canal as the water source. As such, all the irrigation schemes are
located along the canal and each has a legalized water offtake from the canal where members of the irrigation
scheme pay for water to the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA).

On the Other hand, Dry-land cropping is also a major part of the Ward's economy. Crop fields comprise
approximately 54% of the Ward with total coverage of 9800Ha. Community members mainly grow rain-fed
cereals for household consumption with drought-tolerant crops such as millet, sorghum, and rapoko being the
bulk of the crops grown.

The community has certain parts of the Ward set aside as grazing areas or veldt areas for livestock grazing.
This section of the Ward is located between the community conservancy and the crop fields/settlements
(approx. 4000Ha), forming a buffer zone for the wildlife management area. Patches of woodlands are also
found around the Ward, where certain villages have set aside small pieces of land for livestock production.
Community members also report that these grazing lands are also under pressure from expanding crop fields
with new settlements being established every year.

Settlement areas are located in the central parts of the Ward. Ward 23 has a total of 7 villages some of which
have been further sub-divided (e,g. Village 6 now is Village 6a and 6b). This has given rise to a total of 11
villages in the Ward.

4.0 Environmental Issues

There is evidence of land degradation around the Ward mainly driven by anthropogenic factors. The
Ward is in a semi-arid to arid agro-ecological region, where average temperatures soar above 30 degrees
Celsius in summer and very limited rainfall below 450mm per annum. These extreme conditions have
resulted in the failure of the local agricultural economy and people relying mainly upon the environment
for goods services such as timber and non-Timber products for sale.

Gullies at different stages of development can be seen around the Ward, mostly in crop fields and grazing
areas. These gullies are also a symptom of the very low vegetative cover on the ground leading to
increased run-off and hence gully formation. Streambank cultivation is common, with live or shrub-
fenced gardens along rivers for vegetable and supplementary crop production. Siltation was noted in the
major rivers because of the stream-bank cultivation and poor soil conservation structures in the crop
fields, which cover over 50% of the Ward. The area has a long history of deforestation and clearing of
land for crop fields, evidenced by early succession species present in some abandoned crop fields. Figure
6 below shows cattle grazing in an abandoned crop field. The area also has Chinese lantern trees,
showing post-disturbance recovering habitat.

The community identified environmental issues and their drivers, chief among which is deforestation.
The main driver of deforestation was identified as the clearing of land corresponding to the increasing
local population and immigration from neighboring Wards.
