Strengthening climate-smart agriculture for soil and water management in Eastern Province, Zambia
In July 2026, the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, together with Solidaridad Zambia, trained 5 extension officers and 10 lead farmers in Katete and Sinda districts of Eastern Zambia on climate-smart agriculture and climate information services.
The training aimed to strengthen their ability to help farming communities respond to increasing climate risks such as droughts, floods, rising temperatures, and pest outbreaks by promoting practical, locally relevant solutions that can improve resilience and support informed farming decisions.
In July, the people of Katete speak of the "cold rains" not because it is raining.
“We normally experience what we call the 'cold rains' at this time of the year. It's cold and foggy, even the Mphangwe hills are hidden from view" says Mr. Mpazi Siame, an extension officer with Solidaridad.
