Zimbabwe Plans 50 New Small Dams to Boost Irrigation and Food Security
The plan also includes upgrading existing ones in preparation for the potential La Nina season in 2025-2026, according to local media.
This initiative is part of a larger program aiming to bring 350,000 hectares under irrigation by 2028, bolstering food security against climate extremes.
