FROM EARLY WARNING TO FINANCED ACTION.

The Drought Action Committee (DAC) High-Level Inception and Partnership Event is underway today at the Golden Conifer Functions Venue in Harare, bringing together Government, development partners, UN agencies, financial institutions, the private sector, farmer organisations and other key stakeholders to strengthen a coordinated and financed response to drought risks ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Opening the high-level engagement, Secretary for Agriculture, Mechanisation and Water Resources Development Professor Dr. Obert Jiri underscored the urgency of moving beyond early warning to concrete action: “We have the early warning. We have the evidence. We have the plan. We have the platform. What we need now is financed action

The engagement is advancing one plan, one coordination platform and one investment pipeline to turn preparedness priorities into coordinated, accountable and financed interventions that protect food security, farmers, livestock and livelihoods.

From Cabinet to the Provinces: Hon. Dr Anxious Jongwe Masuka drives six-pillar drought response

At the centre of the response are six interconnected pillars covering enhanced strategic grain reserves, accelerated climate-smart production, an integrated financing architecture, livestock drought mitigation, enhanced imports, and coordination, early-warning systems and capacity-building.

The interventions are designed to strengthen the country’s preparedness, sustain agricultural production, protect livestock and livelihoods, and safeguard national food security.

The response will also extend to the grassroots, with His Excellency President Dr E.D. Mnangagwa set to communicate directly with Chiefs, Headmen and Village Heads, strengthening the flow of preparedness information from national leadership to communities.

The approach is preparedness, not panic: plan early, coordinate widely, protect livelihoods and keep producing
