Climate change and variability are global issues that significantly impact rural populations, particularly smallholder farmers, who rely on rain-fed agriculture. In response, the Government of Zimbabwe launched the Intwasa/Pfumvudza programme, a nationwide programme aimed at enhancing the climate resilience of smallholder farmers. This initiative was based on the concept of conservation agriculture, which intensifies crop production by ensuring efficient resource use on small plots of land. This chapter evaluates the viability of the programme in building resilience for smallholder farmers in Umguza District, Zimbabwe, and assesses the extent to which the programme strengthens farmers’ capacity to withstand climate impact. Using a qualitative case study approach, we conducted 40 in-depth interviews, six key informant interviews, and document analysis to collect the data. The findings indicate that the Intwasa/Pfumvudza initiative significantly enhances farmers’ resilience to climate change in Umguza District. Beneficiaries of the initiative reported increased resilience against drought impacts and improved harvest yields, reversing the previous trends of declining agricultural productivity. However, challenges such as labour shortages, lack of mulch supplies, and unclear government agrarian policies were identified as obstacles to the programme’s success. This study underscores the importance of a supportive policy framework and active participation from the government, business community, and civil society to ensure successful implementation and accountability in resource management. It also highlights the need for farmers to fully embrace the Intwasa/Pfumvudza initiative to enhance their resilience to climate change, improve harvests, and achieve food security. These findings have important implications for the design and execution of climate-resilience programmes in similar contexts.
