No results found.When Cyclones Idai and Kenneth made landfall in Southern Africa in March and April 2019 respectively, the consequences were devastating for farmers, who lost local seed reserves including crop wild relatives and crops ready for harvest. The cyclones and related floods affected more than 3.8 million people in Southern Africa and destroyed nearly 800 000 hectares of standing crops in Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Next to emergency relief efforts on food, health and shelter, the project 'Foundations for rebuilding seed systems post Cyclone Idai: Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe' aimed to improve food and nutrition security and livelihoods in the longer term. In the project, national gene banks and farmers collaborated to rescue, regenerate and return seed to affected communities in Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, and to strengthen national and regional planning for the protection of local seed systems in the future. The project has been implemented by the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) and FAO in partnership with the national gene banks of Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe and was financially supported by the Government of Germany and the Kingdom of Norway. This report summarizes the achievements and insights of the project from September 2019 until September 2022. -
