Sustainability of the project a longer term, both environmentally and socio-economically will be built through: The locally led approach which puts Manjolo community in the drivers? seat, is a set up for sustainability. The community identified challenges affecting their wetlands and suggested interventions that they think will work. The by-laws for the conservation of the wetlands will be developed by the community hence they will remain even after project lifespan. Handover of the project and all developed models and bylaws will be done to the established committee at project completion with emphasis on continuation made clear to the community. Basilwizi being a local CBO will also continue to work with Manjolo community post funding to ensure the project gains are sustained. The project uses a committee and focal persons chosen from the communities for coordination and lead farmers chosen from the communities who will be trained to teach other farmers and cascade knowledge to their peers. Training of farmers on land preparation, manure and fertilizer application, composting, field and gardens layouts, marketing, value addition, ISALs and horticulture guarantees a strong base for sustainability as the skills gained will remain among the communities. The project is going to work with state institutions including AGRITEX, EMA, Health, Forestry, DDC?s Office and rural district council. Project implementation will be done in collaboration with relevant government departments to ensure continuity. This is a strong basis for sustainability of the project benefits going into the future as this means the government will continue with the project activities after project exit. The central role played by the state institutions in the execution of project activities lends programme activities to sustainability since they will continue in the same role beyond the life of the project. Basilwizi is a registered CBO, who?s aim is to champion the cause of the Tonga and Korekore speaking people-old and young, women and men, able and disabled without any discrimination. The project will utilize highly participatory approach and foster project ownership by the Manjolo communities from the start. Basilwizi has already conducted a listening session with 20 households and will engage community/local leaders from the onset. The inception meeting and baseline study will further cement local ownership. Selection of the Conservation Committee and Conservation Champions together with the registration of beneficiaries will be led by the community itself. In this case continuity is guaranteed as local people are the ones in the driver?s seat. Capacity building is a critical component of the project which guarantees sustainability. There is a high-level likelihood of sustainability under the project software component because knowledge is power. The project will train community members and uses focal persons chosen from the communities to coordinate farmers for learning and monitoring and lead farmers will be chosen from the communities to teach other farmers and cascade knowledge to their peers. Training of farmers on land preparation, composting and manure application, wetland conservation, fish farming and harvesting, field and gardens layouts, marketing, value addition, ISALs and horticulture guarantees a strong base for sustainability as the skills gained will remain among the communities. Other sustainability initiatives will include having a shared drive among programme stakeholders so as to communicate challenges and progress.

Through encouraging farmers to harness opportunities from the wetlands and complimenting this with nutritional gardens and ISALs, farmers have great potential to build resilience against climate induced shocks, hazards, and stresses. Because farmers have limited knowledge for climate resilience building, knowledge sharing, dissemination and cascading is a critical component of the project which has the potential to improve food and income security, cement social relationships and foster social cohesion. Reviving or establishing market linkages for farmers together for their fish, honey and horticulture produce builds resilience. Marketing collectively in farmer groups or associations has economic benefits to farmers in that groups of producers often seek to improve commodity demand, regulate supplies and qualities more in line with demand and improve competitiveness and efficiency in the marketing channel. Embracing small scale community assets (CA) such as the wetlands allows diversification of livelihoods for the community. Community based Internal Savings and Lending Schemes (ISALS) act as safety nets for maximizing or enhancing resilience in coping and adapting to poverty stresses. Up scaling and re-modelling climate smart farming techniques like mechanized conservation farming, inter-cropping with legumes that serve as green cover crops, nitrogen fixers, green vegetables and grain legumes that are rich in protein improves production. Nutrition sensitive crop production like diversification of crops to include vegetable gardens ensures improved access to balanced diets for all especially young children, pregnant and lactating mothers. Supporting nutrition gardens at community level reduces malnutrition and improves income security. Post-harvest management of grain crops to reduce losses due to storage pests, rainwater and other extreme weather conditions improves food security.
