CAWE Project

Africa accounts for the smallest share of global greenhouse gas emissions, at just 3.8% as compared to other continents, yet it is the most vulnerable to climate change, with extreme heat, precipitation changes, aridity, sea level rise affecting water resources, agricultural production, ocean and savannah ecosystems, with coastal populations and infrastructure highly vulnerable.

Over 640 million Africans have no access to energy, corresponding to an electricity access rate for African countries at just over 40 percent, the lowest in the world access to energy is crucial not only for the attainment of health and education outcomes but also for reducing the cost of doing business and for unlocking economic potential and creating jobs.

Insufficient energy access manifests itself in hundreds of thousands of deaths annually due to the use of wood-burning stoves for cooking; handicaps the operations of hospitals and emergency services; compromises educational attainment; and drives up the cost of doing business. Energy access for all is therefore one of the key drivers of inclusive growth as it creates opportunities for women, youths, and children both in urban and rural areas.

Clearly, drought and climate change are part of the explanation and are big factors driving the immediate emergency. But the problems with food insecurity go deeper than that: in fact, the main decades-long structural driver of our hunger and poverty is low agricultural productivity rooted in policy failures by our governments and international organizations such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and equally in failures to invest in human capital such as education and social protection.

This project targets Africa as a continent but mainly focusing on Zimbabwe and southern Africa.

Our objectives includes to discuss the following issues:

 Failures to invest in human capital such as education and social protection.
 Low investment in renewable energy by both public and private sector especially the financial sector.
 Lack of investment in sustainable farming techniques.
 Access to affordable farming imputes like fertilizers and pesticides by farmers and issues like subsidies or public interventions to guarantee prices
 Coming up with policies that reduce risk for farmers and consumers and also provision of markets.
 Increasing quantity and quality of investments in Agriculture by Government and private sector.
 Climate financing to help the continent mitigate and adapt to climate change.Investing in Morden irrigation equipment and technologies
 Issues like increasing production and economic growth through provision of reliable source of energy.
 Issues of food security and reduction in Food waste

Growth of the economy is the main targeted outcome of this project, if the issues of climate change, food security, health, access to clean water and provision of sustainable sources of energy are discussed and solutions found, then they will be an increase on the wellbeing of the people in Zimbabwe and Africa as a Continent hence the need to come up with as many platforms as possible were these issues are discussed and solutions found.

The project will commerce on 1March 2023 and will run for 10 years ending on 1March 2033

1. We will conduct Indabas, Seminars, Conferences, Breakfast and Luncheons where guests and captains of the industry will be invited to discuss the above issues and find possible solutions.
2. We will also have a Publication or Magazine which will cover four main areas as mentioned above which are Climate change, Agriculture, Water and sanitation and Energy (CAWE). This Magazine will also provide individuals and organizations with a platform to market their products and services.
3. Investor’s Desk, Were people willing to invest in the above sectors will get information on how to invest including all required documentation.
4. Farming Partnership opportunities. Linking farmers and investors for farming partnerships.
5. Farming Business Model, Farmers and other stakeholders will have an opportunity to participate in our Farming Business Model.

Water for Life Foundation together with its partners and relevant authorities will be responsible for the monitoring and evaluation of the project. Water for life foundation will also be responsible for the running and management of this project with support from its sponsors and stakeholders.

Sustainability of this project will be achieved by a constant evaluationand monitoring of the project and also through consultation with all stakeholders involved in this project.
