Zimbabwe - Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) 2016 Urban Livelihoods Assessment, October 2016
  • The ZimVAC 2016 Urban Livelihoods Assessment was guided by the ZimASSET, in particular the food security and nutrition cluster as well as by the Food and Nutrition Security Policy. Among other things, it sought to monitor progress made towards the attainment of ZimASSET set targets for food and nutrition security.
  • As the last Urban Livelihoods Assessment was conducted in 2011, this assessment aimed to update information on Zimbabwe’s urban livelihoods with a particular focus on urban household’s vulnerability to food and nutrition insecurity.
  • In the process, the assessment also identified constraints to improving community resilience and urban livelihoods including opportunities and pathways of addressing them.
