Assessing and planning the city region food system: Kitwe (Zambia) synthesis Report
FAO entered into an agreement with the Copperbelt University (CBU) for the implementation of an assessment methodology for Kitwe and its city region food system (CRFS). This entailed the coordination and implementation of country level activities in Kitwe as one of the pilot cities in Zambia – the other being Lusaka. The project examined current and future constraints affecting productivity, production and access to markets of local and regional food value chains, and the implication of farming practices on natural resources and the environment with the purpose of understanding better how to make the CRFS more sustainable and resilient, and improve the livelihoods of rural and urban dwellers now and in the future. In order to promote local ownership, the process was highly participatory. Specifically, it aimed to foster inclusive multi-stakeholder dialogue processes in order to support local governments and other multiple stakeholders in taking informed decisions on food planning and to enhance synergies, reduce costs and prioritise investments.
