Pikinini-Jawanda Irrigation Scheme transforms Mwenezi lives, boosting food security and economic growth

Collaboration between the Government, development partners and private players has successfully transformed the lives of Mwenezi people through the establishment of a fully functional irrigation scheme in the heart of one of Zimbabwe’s driest districts. A recent media tour to the area revealed that the 156-hectare Pikinini-Jawanda Irrigation Scheme — supported by the Government, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Green Climate Fund — is now a beacon of food security and economic resilience, directly benefitting over 300 households from Pikinini and Jawanda villages.
