USAID. MISSION TO ZAMBIA

Profile of the community-based monitoring systems of three Zambian rural development projects : National Parks and Wildlife Services ADMADE [Administrative Management Design] program, CARE Livingstone food security program, [and] CLUSA [Cooperative League of the USA] rural group business program

This paper presents a case study of the monitoring systems of three community-based rural development projects funded by USAID/Zambia: (1) the CARE Livingstone Food Security Project (LFSP), which strives to improve the food security of farmers in the southern province by improving local planning and management capacity, offering greater access to low-rainfall seed varieties, and developing water harvesting structures; the Cooperative League of the USA (CLUSA) Rural Group Business Program (RGBP), which helps small-scale farmers organize into groups to take advantage of improved farming methods and strengthen their competitiveness in a recently liberalized economy; and Administrative Management Design (ADMADE), a program of the National Parks and Wildlife Services which links community development and wildlife conservation.
