At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock is reviewing the National Agriculture Policy of 2004-2015 to capture changed political and the changing socio- economic and environmental conditions with special consideration of the climate change impacts on the Agricultural sector. The Government of Z ambia through the Ministries of Agriculture and Livestock (MAL) and the Ministry of Lands, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection (MLNREP), requested the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to facilitate a harmonization process between the two draft policies within the framework of the Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) project being implemented by the MAL with technical support from FAO with financial support of the European Union.
