PROJECT SUMMARY

1.1 Project Overview: Zambia has benefitted from additional funds from the Global

Environment Facility (GEF) Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF)1 Grant amounting to

USD 6.21 million which will be used to finance the Climate Resilient Livestock Management

Project (CRLMP) which has been designed based on the on-going Bank ADF-funded (UA

12.00 million) Livestock Infrastructure Support Project (LISP). The LISP, as an anchor project,

has 3 objectives namely (i) to improve smallholder livestock production and productivity, (ii)

to create market linkages, and (iii) increase household income. The LISP was approved by the

Board on 19th June 2013 and the Loan Agreement was signed on 19th December 2013, and is

still under implementation. As at 30th April 2017, the LISP physical implementation rate was

about 35%, with ADF disbursement ratio of 38.01%. The GEF-LDCF financed CRLMP will

have similar objectives with the aim of strengthening the adaptive capacity of Zambian

livestock farmers to the impacts of climate change and to help increase the resilience of the

natural environment. The CRLMP will incorporate climate change-related aspects into the

initial activities and ensure preservation of ecosystems.

1.2 The CRLMP seeks to address stakeholder concerns that the livestock activities under

LISP might negatively affect the environment and contribute to climate change since it will

introduce additional livestock in Northern and Muchinga Provinces through restocking and

pass-on-scheme. These activities will over time increase the amount of solid manure dropped

and add to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. The CRLMP recognized the need to promote

climate resilient investments and is primarily about adaptation by livestock farmers, to climate

change impact, and how their farming practices and installed facilities could affect the

environment and subsequently climate change. Based on this, CRLMP will be implemented

within the anchor project Provinces over a period of 3 years. The Executing Agency is also the

same (Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock/MoFL) and day-to-day activities will be carried out

by the LISP Coordination Unit (PIU) which will be beefed-up with a Climate Change Expert.

After closure of LISP, CRLMP will provide the required operational funds for the PIU to cover

the remaining period. It should be noted that CRLMP’s Project Information Form (PIF) was

already approved and endorsed by the GEF CEO on 14th January 2016, and is being submitted

to the Board for approval of its physical implementaton.

1.3 Needs Assessment: In line with its strategy of economic diversification, the

Government launched a nationwide programme to scale-up the development of the livestock

sub-sector and enhance its contribution to the national economy. The livestock sub-sector is an

important source of economic growth and job creation to foster poverty reduction. The

Government requested the Bank’s financial support for the implementation of LISP which is

the anchor project for CRLMP. The additional outputs and their associated activities are

proposed through the CRLMP to facilitate both climate change adaptation and mitigation

outlook to the on-going LISP-supported activities. Both projects will assist the Government to

foster economic diversification through catalytic projects for private sector development,

focusing on agriculture, particularly livestock value chain, and natural resources management

and climate change initiatives.

1 The Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) was established on directives to the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at its seventh session to address the needs of least developed countries (LDCs) under

the Convention on Climate Change. Absolute priority is accorded to adaptation and particularly the financing of the preparation and

implementation of National Climate Change Adaptation Programs of Action (NAPAs). The Fund’s objective is to finance projects that address the urgent and immediate climate change adaptation needs of LDCs by seeking to reduce the vulnerability of sectors and resources which are

essential to social progress and national development such as water, agriculture and food security, health, the management and prevention

of catastrophic risks, and infrastructure, as have been identified and prioritized in NAPAs.

iv

1.4 Bank’s Added Value: During the design of LISP in 2013, at that time the Bank’s

Agricultural Sector Strategy (2010-2014) Pillar I focussed on agricultural infrastructure. The

Bank, as a result of its long term involvement in the livestock sub-sector, developed sound

experience in satisfactory development of rural infrastructures. Lessons learned include the

need to involve intended beneficiaries in infrastructure selection, siting, construction and

management inorder to enhance ownership and sustainability which were mainstreamed in the

project design. Based on this anchor project, the CRLMP design was aligned to the same Bank

strategies and policies, and also the High-5 Feed Africa Strategy for Agriculture

Transformation in Africa (2016-2025).

1.5 Knowledge Management: Knowledge gained through implementation of previous

projects has been used in designing the CRLMP. Knowledge that will be generated through

implementation of CRLMP will be helpful during design and management of future projects.

Lessons learned will be documented through quarterly and annual progress reports, mid-term

review report, beneficiary impact assessment report, and project completion report.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MANAGEMENT TO THE BOARDS OF

DIRECTORS ON THE PROPOSED ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM GEF-LDCF

GRANT TO FINANCE THE ZAMBIA CLIMATE RESILIENT LIVESTOCK

MANAGEMENT PROJECT

Management submits the following Report and Recommendation for implementation of the GEF-

LCDF Grant of USD 6.21 million, as additional funds, to finance the Zambia Climate Resilient

Livestock Management Project (CRLMP) in order to build climate resilience in the on-going ADF

funded (UA 12.00 million) Zambia Livestock Infrastructure Support Project (LISP).

I. STRATEGIC THRUST & RATIONALE

1.1. Project Linkages with Country Strategy and Objectives

1.1.1. The Government development agenda is articulated in the National Vision 2030 which

reflects the aspirations and determination to be a prosperous middle-income country by year 2030.

In 2013, during the design of Zambia Livestock Infrastructure Support Project (LISP), the

prevailing main documents the Sixth National Development Plan (SNDP: 2011-2015) and also

the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF: 2013-2015, which operationalize the

National Vision 2030) prioritised agriculture among the key growth sectors of the economy. With

regard to the livestock sub-sector, the main thrust was to improve livestock production and

productivity mainly through infrastructure development, creation of Disease Free Zone (DFZ),

and processing of livestock products. During LISP appraisal, in 2013, the prevailing Bank’s

Results-Based Country Strategy Paper (CSP: 2011-2015) focussed on (i) support to economic

diversification through infrastructure development (Pillar 1) and (ii) support to economic and

financial governance (Pillar 2). The Project aimed at development of various livestock

infrastructures, mainly for disease control.

1.1.2. Based on the approval of LISP, which is the baseline/anchor project, the Climate Resilient

Livestock Management Project (CRLMP) Identification Form was submitted to GEF Secretariat.

The Project Identification Form was endorsed by the GEF National Focal Point Person and

LDCF/SCCF Secretariat on 8th April 2013, for an indicative GEF LDCF Grant of USD 6,210,000

which is meant to climate proof the ongoing Zambia LISP. The GEF CEO Endorsement for the

GEF LDCF resources was granted on 14th January 2016, as indicated in Appendix 1. The CRLMP

is fully based on LISP and is consequently in line with the associated country strategies and

objectives.

1.2. Rationale for Bank’s Involvement

1.2.1. The Agriculture Sector is liberalised. Government sector policy has focused on reforms to

the maize production and market subsidies that consume more than 8% of the national budget.

Major stakeholders have been urging the Government to rationalize food reserve management and

reform the way the input subsidy is managed to encourage Private Sector participation. In the

livestock sub-sector, the Government’s presence is mainly in the control of diseases of national

economic importance. Livestock sub-sector has potential to stimulate the Zambian economic

growth and create jobs. However, inadequate livestock infrastructures, high disease incidence and

poor livestock service delivery have been identified as main bottlenecks for sustainable growth of

the sub-sector. Consequently, the Bank’s strategy is to support the Government’s drive to enhance

the contribution of the livestock sub-sector to the national economy and poverty reduction.

1.2.2. The Bank’s focus on livestock infrastructure fills a vital but missing financial gap along

the livestock value chain which is not fully covered by other partners and is urgently required to

support economic diversification. The Project is aligned to one of the Bank’s Ten Year Strategy

2

(TYS: 2013-2022) core operational areas of infrastructure and also areas of special emphasis

namely agriculture, and High-5 Feed Africa Strategy for Agriculture Transformation in Africa

(2016-2025) in that it will enhance sustainable livestock infrastructure development, promote

livestock-by products, increase household income and food security. Consequently, the Project

will improve the quality of lives for rural communities in Zambia’s Northern and Muchinga

Provinces. In addition, the Project will promote climate resilience while ensuring inclusiveness of

rural men, women and youths as direct beneficiaries. The Project will also improve Private Sector

participation along the livestock value chain starting from production, disease control, processing,

and marketing. The Zambia comparative socio-economic indicators are reflected in Appendix 2.

The Bank’s active portfolio is about UA 745 million with an average disbursement rate of 15.0%,

as shown in Appendix 3, which justifies the continued support to the Agriculture Sector. The three

largest Sectors in the Zambia portfolio include Transport, Water Supply and Sanitation, and

Agriculture which are funded from ADF and ADB resources, Africa Working Together Fund,

Nigeria Trust Fund, Strategic Climate Fund, and Global Agriculture and Food Security

Programme (GAFSP) Trust Fund. Most of Bank-funded projects are task managed directly from

the Country Office (COZM) and also Southern Africa Regional Development and Business

Delivery Office (RDGS) which benefits overall portfolio performance, and also improves

relationship and dialogue with the Government and Development Partners (DPs).

1.2.3. The African Development Bank is one of the largest providers of development finance to

Zambia, with current total commitments of more than USD1 billion, distributed across seven

sectors namely transport (32%), water supply and sanitation (22%), agriculture (17%), energy

(12%), finance (7%) social (6%), and environment (4%). As at December 2016, the average age

of the operations was 2.5 years with disbursements at 17%, inclusive of operations approved but

not effective for disbursement. The Zambian portfolio continued to witness significant

improvements in terms of performance. The percentage of loans and grants rated satisfactory

improved from 43% in January to 70% in December 2016. All conditions precedent to first

disbursement for the previously approved loans/grants in the Agriculture Sector were duly

satisfied by the Government. Key portfolio improvement measures implemented during 2016

included technical launch, quarterly portfolio review and field supervisions. The technical launch

is a capacity building program to assist staff of project implementation units familiarize with the

project appraisal report (including relevant technical annexes), loan agreements, procurement

rules and procedures to be applied, disbursement rules and procedures, elaboration of an annual

work plan and budget, monitoring and evaluation as well as a follow up to conditions precedent

to first disbursement. The meeting was with all key implementing partners to understand the

project, implementation mechanisms and their respective roles during planning, implementation

and monitoring. The Bank, the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of National Planning jointly

organized quarterly portfolio review meetings for project staff, especially project coordinators,

monitoring and evaluation officers, procurement officers, project accountants, office of auditor

general and staff from line ministries providing oversight responsibility to project

implementation. The joint quarterly Portfolio Performance Review meeting was viewed by

participants as a good platform for all stakeholders to periodically identify critical issues affecting

implementation and agree on recommended actions.

1.2.4. One of the projects in the current Bank portfolio is the Livestock Infrastructure Support

Project (LISP) which is the anchor/baseline project for the proposed CRLMP. The LISP (P-ZM-

AAE-001) ADF Loan (UA 12.00 million, number 2100150029293) was approved on 19th June

2013 and the Loan Agreement was signed on signed on 19th December 2013. The Loan entered

into force on 30th December 2013. The LISP Executing Agency (EA) is the Ministry of Fisheries

and Livestock (MoFL) and it is implemented by the Department of Livestock Development. The

conditions precedent to effectiveness and first disbursement were met on 25th March 2014. The

first disbursement was made on 8th April 2014 and the ADF loan disbursement ratio was 38.01%

in June 2017.

1.2.5. Rationale for GEF LDCF Additional Financing: Natural resources constitute the primary

source of livelihood for the majority of the Zambian population. Management of these natural

resources is therefore important and critical to Zambia’s long-term development. Climate change

is already increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as droughts,

floods, landslides and heat waves. The events of the past few years clearly illustrate the magnitude

of the problem. The Government of Zambia has prepared a National Adaptation Plan of Action

(NAPA) and identified priority intervention areas. The Government has also produced a National

Policy on Climate Change (2016). Through the Policy and NAPA, government has identified

priority intervention areas to stimulate interest among key stakeholders and also lead to changes

in planning approaches resulting into integration of climate change issues into development

planning.

1.2.6. The CRLMP will allow for the climate proofing of LISP and is primarily about adaptation

by livestock farmers to climate change impacts, and how their farming practices, their installed

facilities and equipment and processes in the implentation of the LISP could affect the

environment and subsequently climate change. As LISP deals with installation of livestock

infrastructure, there were concerns during its Appraisal phase that the installed facililities and

some of the planned activities might negatively affect the environment and contribute to climate

change. Therefore, the CRLMP PIF recognized the need to promote climate resilient investments

including infrastructure. An Environmental Risk Assessment for LISP activities and infrastructure

was prepared. Furthermore, the CRLMP preparation process included preparation of a Climate

Risk Assessment Report to accompany the CEO Endorsement Form. The justification is based on

the recognition that some processes and infrastructure installed by the LISP are bound to have

negative impacts on the environment.

1.2.7. The GEF-LDCF intervention comes at a time when the sector is also exploring avenues of

agriculture diversification through livestock and fisheries. The additional funding therefore

addresses the desired demands of the sector for sustainability of the livestock and pasture

resources. The Project seeks to build the resilience of vulnerable populations to climate change.

Adaptation measures and activities will be undertaken in the areas of water, agriculture, energy

efficient cooking, and resource management (notably training, information and technology) with

focus on women and youth. Women’s priorities and needs captured through public consultation

will be taken into account and women participation in decision making with respect to

management of facilities will be ensured. Tailor made training will target women groups and

youth for skills in facility construction, operation and maintenance as well as utilisation of labour

and energy saving biogas digesters. The agro-based activities for ecosystem restoration outside

the park and along river banks will be working closely with the families in the affected areas

providing more opportunity for rural women and youth involvement.

1.3. Donors Coordination

The DPs’ contributions are coordinated by the Ministry of Finance. The Agriculture

Cooperating Partner Group (Ag-CP) has been coordinating activities in the sector and engaging

Government in dialogue on key policy developments. The Zambia Country Office (COZM) has

played a pivotal role in donor coordination activities and overall portfolio management. The

National Livestock Development Programme (NLDP) that the Government has embarked on is

coordinated with various DPs which are funding different aspects or specific geographic zones.

The Agriculture Cooperating Partners Group (comprising USAID, EU, Finland, JICA, World

Bank, FAO, WFP, IFAD, Sweden and Norway) has formed a sub-committee on livestock

development to coordinate and dialogue with Government on livestock issues. Although the

Government is funding some projects within the NLDP, using its own resources, the DPs have

already participated as follows: (i) World Bank is covering Southern Central and Eastern

4

provinces; (ii) IFAD is covering livestock disease control throughout the country; (iii) EU is

providing institutional capacity building within the MoFL; (iv) AfDB is covering the northern

part of the country, and (v) the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has

implemented three projects related to livestock. The WB and AfDB livestock-related projects are

similar in design, focusing on disease control, though WB’s project has less infrastructure

component. The WB and AfDB are jointly implementing the Special Programme on Climate

Resilience in the Kafue and Zambezi river basins (SPCR) financed by the Climate Investment

Fund (CIF). The AfDB is also co-financing the Lake Tanganyika Development Project (LTDP)

with GEF-LDCF. In addition, the on-going livestock and climate change related activities by

different DPs are indicated in Table 1.1. The DPs’ in Agriculture Sector support is summarised in

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1. LISP (Baseline Project) and CRLMP Objectives and Components

2.1.1. LISP Objectives and Components: The on-going Livestock Infrastructure Support Project

(LISP) objectives are to improve smallholder livestock production, productivity, create market

linkages and increase incomes of livestock farmers. The on-going LISP is the anchor/baseline

project for the GEF-LDCF funded CRLMP. The LISP components, activities, and LogFrame are

indicated in Appendix 4. The total LISP cost is UA 13.71 million, at year 2013 price level which

is being financed by (i) ADF Loan: UA 12.00 million (87.6%) covering all major activities, (ii)

Government contribution: UA 1.69 million (12.3%) through value for office space, salaries for

Government staff and utilities such as electricity and water, and (iii) beneficiaries’ contribution:

UA 0.02 million (0.1%) in form of operation and maintenance of the LSC tier 1 and 1+ as per

Government’s policy to ensure sustainability. As at 30th April 2017, the LISP physical

implementation rate was about 35% with ADF disbursement ratio of 38.01%.

5

2.1.2. CRLMP Objectives and Description: The CRLMP objectives as aligned to the LISP

objectives as described in paragraph 2.1.1. The GEF-LDCF CRLMP seeks to build climate

resilience in the on-going LISP and will incorporate climate change-related aspects into the initial

project activities in order to ensure preservation of ecosystems. The CRLMP will mainly address

the stakeholders’ concerns that the livestock activities under LISP might negatively affect the

environment and contribute to climate change. Introduction of additional livestock into the two

provinces through restocking and pass-on-schemes will over time increase the amount of solid

manure dropped and add to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. The CRLMP recognized the need

to promote climate resilient investments and is primarily about adaptation by livestock farmers to

climate change impact, and how their farming practices including LISP supported facilities could

affect the environment and subsequently climate change. The additional outputs and their

associated activities are proposed through the CRLMP to impart both a climate change adaptation

and mitigation outlook to LISP.

2.1.3. The additional activities to be carried out under CRLMP are packaged into three mutually

re-enforcing components as listed and summarized below under 3 components: (i) Component 1

- Promoting Climate Resilient Livestock investments and increasing climate change adaptive

capacity of livestock farmers; (ii) Component 2 - Capacity Building on climate change Adaptation

for stakeholders; and (iii) Component 3 - Knowledge, Monitoring and Evaluation. The CRLMP

components and activities are indicated in Table 2.1, below. The expected major achievements

from the additional GEF-LDCF (CRLMP) funding include: (i) Livestock farmers able to cope

with climate change through adoption of improved practices that enhance livelihoods; (ii)

Resilience of natural resources to climate change enhanced; (iii) Increased resilience of

infrastructure to climate change threats; (iv) Reduced GHG emissions from LISP infrastructure

and processes; (v) Increased knowledge and risk preparedness and adaptive capacity to climate

variability at country and targeted community levels; (vi) Diversification and strengthened

livelihoods and source of incomes for rural population (artisan and livestock farmers); (vii) M&E

management and lessons learnt are captured and appropriately disseminated; and (viii) the project

will contribute to strengthening awareness and ownership of adaptation and climate risk reduction

processes in rural Zambia.

2.4. CRLMP Target Area and Beneficiaries

The Project will be implemented in the Northern and Muchinga Provinces covering 9

Districts (Appendix 5), which is also the same area as for anchor project (LISP). The human

population within participating Districts is 1,338,456 out of which 51% are women whilst the total

number of households (HH) is 233,300 with 33,600 female headed HH. The additional funding

will directly benefit a total of 100,000 livestock keeping households, including 33,600 female

headed households. These farmers are being mobilized and trained through 248 registered groups

and associations. The Project will strengthen institutional and technical capacity of public sector

staff. About 800,000 people, including 400,000 rural women, will indirectly benefit from increase

in supply of quality livestock products and management skills. In addition, the CRLMP will

benefit about 4 community based organisations and 70 Government staff through technical and

institutional capacity building.

2.5. Participatory Process for Project Identification, Design and Implementation

The CRLMP design processes have had extensive consultations with various stakeholders

in the Government and non-government sectors both at national and local levels within the two

effected provinces. Local leaders and beneficiary communities in the targeted districts were

consulted during the preparation phase. The Executing Agency has been involved in the course

of designing and in validation meetings. Consultations with the key stakeholders were also done

during CRLMP design when defining key project activities, implementation and sustainability

arrangements. The CRLMP is a communitybased project, which means that beneficiaries are part

10

of project design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. There was large participation

of livestock farmers, civil societies and Government staff during the Inception Workshop and

Validation Workshop. The Project design has in-built mechanisms for continued participation of

beneficiaries and other key stakeholders. Zambia Environment Management Authority (ZEMA)

was also engaged to ensure that all the infrastructure development under the CRLMP are

sustainable and environmental friendly. This participatory approach will continue to be enhanced

during the implementation phase. The CRLMP design also benefitted from the on-going climate

related projects being implemented by different DPs.

2.6. Bank Group Experience and Lessons Reflected in Project Design

In Zambia, the Bank has gained infrastructure development experience during design and

implementation of completed and on-going investment projects, namely, SIP, ASIP, PRODAP,

LISP, PPCR, and APMEP. The lessons learnt and actions taken during CRLMP design are

tabulated below:

No Lessons Learnt Actions incorporated in the Project design

1. Role played by Project Implementation Unit

in expediting project execution after start-up

delay when management was entrusted in

Government Department.

MoFL’s Project implementation capacity has been enhanced

through recruitment of national Experts in the PIU. In addition,

the Climate Adaptation Expert will be recruited to take care of

CRLMP activities.

2. Inadequate consultation with stakeholders in

selection of sites results in poor siting of the

infrastructure.

Adequate consultations with key stakeholders, including

smallholder livestock farmers were undertaken during Project

preparation and appraisal phases.

3. Weak M&E system results in poor

assessment of implementation progress

Participatory M&E activities with adequate financial

allocation have been included in Project design.

4. Lack of infrastructure management entities

compromises sustainability.

Establishment of management entities has been included in

Project design.

2.7. Project Performance Indicators

The CRLMP impact, outcome and output indicators are indicated in the logical framework

(LogFrame) which will be measured using the existing Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system

which was developed under LISP. The impact indicator, against which the Project development

objective will be measured, is to strengthen the adaptive capacity of Zambian livestock farmers

to the impacts of climate change.

III. PROJECT FEASIBILITY

3.1. Economic and Financial Performance

3.1.1. The economics and financial analyses have been carried out on the assumption that, for

any business to flourish, it requires incentives and conducive environment which will be provided

by LISP and CRLMP. In this regard (i) facilities such dip tanks, spray races, crush pens for

vaccination and other veterinary services, feeding and watering infrastructure will enable farmers

to raise healthy animals, (ii) breeding centres will aid in the stocking programme resulting in

increase in livestock numbers, (iii) marketing structures, slaughter facilities, milk collection

centres and connecting feeder roads will give farmers incentive to keep livestock and feed them

appropriately for high prices, while accessibility will encourage private traders for both inputs and

livestock products to operate in the area, (iv) infrastructure facilities will also attract private

operators such as health inspectors and veterinary officers to invest in livestock development in

the area, (v) the animal pass-on scheme for youth and women will hasten livestock multiplication,

(vi) capacity building will train farmers to raise healthy fattened animals. The Project will, through

infrastructure for disease control, reduce livestock mortality resulting in higher livestock numbers.

Improved animal growth rate through better feeding practices and breed improvement for growth

11

and milk production will improve carcass weight and also milk yields. All these aspects will, in

the final analysis increase livestock production and productivity.

3.1.2. The implementation of the CRLMP, alongside the anchor/baseline project (LISP), is

expected to increase the percentage of households owning livestock in the target area, as the “pass

on scheme” will be scaled up for livestock restocking. This will increase the average livestock

farmers’ incomes. Improvement in availability of feed resources from pastures, rangelands, and

supplementary feeding from improved quality crop residues, and from improved veterinary care

and services will raise productivity outcomes such as calving rates, milk yields and livestock body

weight gains. Improved access to livestock markets, to be constructed by the project, is expected

to reduce marketing costs of livestock and livestock products, and hence increase profit margins

of livestock farmers. With the implementation of adaptation activities, the Project’s economic

benefits will increase, as well as its positive impacts on living conditions and infrastructure

sustainability.

3.1.3. The project is also expected to generate a number of indirect economic benefits. They

include (i) enhanced food security with overall increase in the supply of good livestock products,

(ii) increased demands for livestock related services accruing to service providers, fostering the

development of animal related business and job, and (iii) empowerment of livestock farmer

organizations to provide adequate services to their members. Other social benefits will include

improvement of (i) living conditions of livestock communities, through increased livestock

production and household income, (ii) linkages between disaster risk management and climate

change, (iii) contribution of the livestock sector to climate resilient economy, (iv) social inclusion

and economic growth to reintegrate the most vulnerable groups into the local economy, and (v)

mainstreaming gender issues into livestock development activities. The main assumptions

underlying the calculations of EIRR and FIRR are: (i) cattle, goat and chickens’ average annual

population will increase from 6.3% to 10%, 12% to 15%, and 15% to 22% respectively; (ii)

livestock off-take will increase from the current 12% to 16% for cattle and 31% to 38% for goat

by year 6; (iii) average weight will increase from the current 126 kg to 168 kg for cattle and from

25 kg to 33 kg for goats; and (v) milk production from 1,500 to 2,500 litres per year (cow). The

EIRR and FIRR computations are summarized below:

FIRR, NPV (base case) 20%, NPV (12%): USD 4.02 million

EIRR (base case) 22%, NPV (12%): USD 4.38 million

NB: detailed calculations are available in Appendix 5 and also Technical Annex B.6 of LISP AR

3.2. Environmental and Social impacts

3.2.1. Environment: The anchor/baseline project (LISP) was classified as Environment Category

2 according to the Bank’s Environmental and Social Assessment Procedures (ESAP) which was

validated by the Quality Assurance and Results Department on 8th May 2012. The infrastructure

investments supported by the Project will generate site-specific and short-term negative

environmental impacts which will mainly occur during the construction phase. During the

operational phase the likely impacts would include solid waste and effluent from slaughter houses,

milk collection centers, livestock service centres, markets and also bio-medical waste from

veterinary activities. MoFL has facilitated the preparation of Strategic Environmental and Social

Assessment (SESA) report, for the on-going LISP, which describes measures to mitigate the

negative impacts which include re-vegetating cleared land, restoration of borrow-pits, appropriate

drainage systems to control erosion, installation of systems for solid waste and effluent

management and providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the workforce.

3.2.2. Climate Change: The CRLMP, by design and name, is a pro-climate resilience and will,

consequently, promote climate change adaptation and foster livelihoods diversification which will

12

ultimately enhance the climate change adaptive capacity of the pastoralists and the livestock

production systems. The Project will support (i) sustainable management of rangeland and

pasture, and (ii) adoption of biogas digesters that will promote use of livestock dung for generation

of energy for lighting and cooking. In building capacity of the livestock farmers and the livestock

production systems, the CRLMP will support breeds that are resilient to climate change and

develop models for community management of endemic livestock and habitat, strengthen

adaptive capacity of communities through training and mounting of demonstration sites for feed

conservation during the dry seasons, restoration of degraded pasture and increased vegetation

cover with different drought tolerant plants.

3.2.3. Gender: Zambian women comprise 51% of the population. In the Project area, cattle are

predominantly owned by men whilst women own small livestock (goats, sheep and chickens).

The Project will address gender balance challenges through interventions targeted at women

including access to livestock services, information and training in modern livestock management.

Immediate benefits to women will be increased livestock production and improved productivity

which will lead to increased household incomes. The Project will also promote the role of women

in climate adaptation and also climate smart agricultural practices, through tailor made training

since their participation will enhance effectiveness and sustainability of the project. The CRLMP

will promote labour saving technologies like biogas digesters and also draught power which have

the benefit of reducing workload for women and youth. Considering that the biogas digesters

provide an excellent linkage with clean cooking solutions, the Project will mobilise and train rural

women and youth on the use and maintenance of biogas units, since there is often resistance in

rural communities to use biogas although it is a cheap and efficient energy source. The CRLMP

will support youth and women empowerment schemes aimed at training them in value addition

skills (such as skins/hides processing) and skills training to run Income Generating Activities

(IGAs). This will have significant potential in reducing poverty among women and youth by

increasing their access to new employment opportunities and developing women as contributors

to economic growth. Women will comprise at least 50% of beneficiaries. Women and youth

participation in livestock development will also be enhanced through scaling up the small stock

pass-on scheme.

3.2.4. Social: The social impact of the CRLMP is expected to be positive since it will provide

more income and better livelihoods to participating communities. The preparation of this CRLMP

which focuses on community/local beneficiaries was guided by a comprehensive and extensive

participatory process. The Project will help participating communities to diversify agricultural

output in a sustainable manner. Other positive effects will include an improvement in nutritional

and food safety status of the direct beneficiaries and other communities through consumption of

wholesome meat and milk products rich in proteins and also supply of draught power for crop

production. Livestock dung will also be used, as compost manure, to enhance crop production and

also used to generate energy through biogas digesters. Rehabilitation of feeder roads will facilitate

sale of livestock and related agro-products which will generally improve trade. The increased

economic activities will significantly boost local development. Value addition training will

improve skills and provide employment to women and youth. The anticipated economic well-

being resulting from higher family incomes will generate positive multiplier effects on social

stability which will help curb rural exodus by retaining local population especially youth within

the participating Districts. The Project will mitigate the risk posed by HIV/AIDS, malaria and

malnutrition through awareness campaigns.

3.2.5. Inclusive Growth: In the context of broad-based and pro-poor growth, the Project will

promote inclusive growth with equitable allocation of resources to activities which will benefit

all levels of the participating communities. The Project will assist poor rural men, women and

youth to own livestock enterprise diversification, job creation, and income generation. The

livestock value chain activities will also give opportunity to rural men, women and youth

13

including Private Sector to participate in off-farm activities including livestock disease control,

processing and marketing.

3.2.6. Transition to Green Growth: The Project is designed to contribute to green growth through

pasture production which will provide soil cover, stabilise the soil, ensure environmental

conservation, and increase livestock production.

3.2.7. Value Addition: The CRLMP will fill in the gaps along the livestock value chain in order

to improve smallholder livestock production, productivity, and market linkages in a sustainable

manner.

3.2.8. Involuntary Resettlement: There will be no involuntary resettlement or land acquisition

envisioned during implementation of the CRLMP activities. The CRLMP activities will be carried

out within the existing LISP areas, in Northern and Muchinga Provinces, which were already

demarcated by the Government and local communities with no known land disputes.

IV: IMPLEMENTATION

4.1. Implementation Arrangements

4.1.1. The Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (MoFL) will be the Executing Agency (EA) for

the CRLMP which will be implemented through the Director of Livestock Development, over a

period of 3 years. The CRLMP will use the existing Project Coordination Team (PCT) which was

set up by the Government, under LISP, for day to day effective implementation of the Project

activities. Based on Bank’s Rules and Procedures, the Project will competitively recruit from the

open market a Climate Adaptation Expert, to spearhead CRLMP activities, and will be part of the

core PCT. The existing PCT will be fully accountable for the performance of CRLMP

implementation and the use of funds. After planned closure of the LISP (31st December 2018),

the CRLMP resources will support a lean PCT comprising Project Coordinator, Accountant,

Climate Adaptation Expert, and M&E Specialist who will continue working with seconded

Provincial and District Government staff. The MoFL Chief Accountant will facilitate the CRLMP

implementation. A Project Steering Committee3 (PSC) which was already set-up by Government,

for LISP, will also have oversight responsibility and oversee CRLMP compliance with sub-sector

National Policies and Strategies. The PC will continue to be the Secretary of PSC. Through the

PSC, the Government, the Bank and GEF will review and approve the CRLMP’s annual work

plan and budget, at least 3 months before the beginning of the fiscal year. Although the CRLMP’s

annual work plan will be produced separately for ease of monitoring, it will be synchronized with

the LISP’s annual work plan. At the Provincial level, the responsibility for delivery rests with the

existing institutional structures of MoFL under coordination of the Provincial Livestock

Production Officer. During implementation, the CRLMP will support the Provincial and District

Offices’ Technical Officers to take care of planned activities, and include them in their work plans

for sustainability. The Bank’s COZM and RDGS staff will support CRLMP implementation

through regular supervision missions, informal meetings, and processing of all fiduciary

documents.

4.1.2. Procurement Arrangements (GEF-LDCF Resources): Procurement of goods (including

non-consultancy services), works and the acquisition of consulting services, financed by the Bank

for the project, will be carried out in accordance with the “Procurement Policy and Methodology

3 The existing PSC consists of (i) Representative of Secretary to Treasury (Ministry of Finance) - Chairperson, (ii)

Permanent Secretary (PS) - MAL, (iii) PS - Northern Province, (iv) PS - Muchinga Province, (v) PS - Ministry of

Works, (vi) representative from Zambia Environment Management Authority (ZEMA), (vii) 2 livestock farmers’

representatives from Muchinga and Northern Provinces, and (viii) 2 representatives from the Private Sector (beef

and dairy industries).

14

for Bank Group Funded Operations” (BPM), dated October 2015 and following the provisions

stated in the Financing Agreement. Specifically, Procurement would be carried out as follows:

Borrower Procurement System (BPS): Specific Procurement Methods and Procedures

(PMPs) under BPS comprising its Laws and Regulations as per the Public Procurement

Act of 2008 and the Public Procurement Regulations of 2011, using the national Standard

Solicitation Documents (SSDs) shall apply under the project for specified transactions

Bank Procurement Policy and Methodology (BPM): Bank standard PMPs, using the

relevant Bank Standard Solicitation Documents (SSDs), for contracts where the BPS shall

not apply for specific transactions or group of transactions where the BPM have been

found to be the best fit for purpose.

4.1.3. Procurement Risks and Capacity Assessment (PRCA): the assessment of procurement

risks at the Country, Sector, and Project levels and procurement capacity at the Executing Agency

(EA), were undertaken for the project and the results have informed the decisions on the

procurement arrangements being used for transactions under the Project.

4.1.4. Financial Management: As part of preparation for this additional financing, the Bank

updated the Financial Management (FM) assessment of MoFL, as the Executing Agency (EA)

which was carried out during the appraisal of the ongoing anchor project (LISP), in accordance

with the Bank’s Guidelines for Financial Management and concluded MFL’s financial

management capacity satisfy the Bank’s minimum requirements. The EA has addressed the initial

FM capacity challenges which occurred at the inception of the ongoing project and FM

performance has been generally satisfactory; and the project received an unqualified (clean) audit

opinion for its latest (2015) audited financial statement which was accepted by the Bank. In that

regard, the project FM will be handled within the EA’s existing FM system for managing the on-

going LISP.

4.1.5. Financial Reporting and External Audit: The overall financial reporting responsibility

rests with the Chief Accountant (MoFL), as the head of the Ministry’s Finance Department. The

existing Project Accountant, under LISP, will handle all project FM activities under the CRLMP

financing as part of the day to day responsibilities, with the Provincial and District Accountants

providing the necessary backstopping at the local levels as has been the case. In accordance with

the Bank’s financial reporting requirements, separate Interim Quarterly Progress Report (IQPR)

will be prepared by the EA for the CRLMP funds, and submitted to the Bank no later than 45 days

after the end of each calendar quarter. Similarly, the EA shall be required to prepare separate

annual financial statements for the CRLMP to be audited by the Office of the Auditor General

(OAG) as per their mandate, or an externally appointed independent auditor with the involvement

of the OAG. The annual audited financial statements together with the audit management letter

shall be submitted to the Bank not later than six (6) months after the end of each fiscal year.

4.1.6. Disbursement Arrangement: The CRLMP will use the Bank’s disbursement methods

including (i) Direct Payment, (ii) Special Account (SA) and (iii) Reimbursement Methods in

accordance with rules and procedures as stipulated in the Disbursement Handbook. A separate

foreign currency denominated Special Account in the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) and a local currency

account (ZMW) in the BoZ will be opened for the CRLMP to be operated by MoFL and used for

financing eligible operating and other recurring costs under the Project. To facilitate payment of

eligible operating costs, a separate CRLMP sub-account in local currency to be managed by MoFL

as per the existing financial rules and regulations will be opened at a local commercial bank,

acceptable to the AfDB, in Kasama District in the Northern Province. The operating of the bank

accounts including payment for eligible expenditures, preparation of withdrawal applications for

funds into the SA, and documentation for all direct payments shall be in accordance with existing

procedures within the EA, and under the overall responsibility of the Chief Accountant (MoFL).

15

The Bank will issue a Disbursement Letter of which the content will be discussed and agreed

during negotiations.

4.2. Monitoring

4.2.1. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) will enable the PCT, MoFL and key stakeholders to

track CRLMP implementation using indicators and targets as presented in the Result Based

Logical Framework (LogFrame) at community (beneficiary), District and Provincial levels. The

Project M&E Specialist will be responsible for the establishment of an M&E system using a

participatory approach in data collection, analysis and dissemination that will provide intermittent

methodological backstopping at the design, implementation and completion phases. The M&E

system will monitor physical and financial implementation progress while providing insights on

Project impact on beneficiaries. The Government has set up, within the National Livestock and

Epidemiological Information Centre (NALEIC), the Livestock Information Management System

(LIMS) in animal health, animal production, livestock and livestock products marketing and trade

which serve as an effective tool for monitoring progress towards the livestock policy objectives.

The M&E system will be linked to LIMS. The CRLMP will also establish and operationalise the

Livestock Early Warning Information System (LEWIS) which will also be linked to LIMS.

4.2.2. The Project will provide financial resources to facilitate the required M&E training, proper

data gathering and processing. The Project will provide funds for Mid-Term Review (MTR),

Project Completion Report (PCR), and annual audits, as indicated in the table below. The PCT

will submit to the Bank Quarterly Progress Reports (QPR) and annual work plans and budgets

using Bank’s format. The Bank will supervise the implementation of the CRLMP through regular

supervision missions, at least twice a year.

4.3. Governance

Zambia has made significant progress in the area of accountability and transparency and

has relatively improved on key indicators of governance including control of corruption, rule of

law, regulatory quality and Government effectiveness. However, weaknesses remain in ensuring

budget credibility, non-fully compliance with internal control regulations, timely follow-up and

implementation of both internal and external audit recommendations. Mitigation measures to

address these issues include: (i) production of tailor-made financial management procedures

manual that will provide guidance to staff; (ii) using MoFL Internal Audit to undertake pre-audit

of Project transactions; and (iii) procurement of off-the-shelf accounting software to record and

process transactions and interface it with IFMIS to facilitate timely project financial reporting

given the operational challenges with IFMIS, and (iv) enforcing a system of timely submission of

interim quarterly progress report (IQPR).

4.4. Sustainability

4.4.1. The CRLMP intends to mainstream climate change-related activities into livestock

development planning by involving rural communities, public and private sectors. The proposed

training to be funded by the Project will provide the tools and approaches for continuous

16

commitment and sustainability after closure of the project. Implementation of the additional

CRLMP activities will involve all stakeholders, including the beneficiary communities to ensure

a sense of ownership and commitment as well as sustainability of the improved infrastructure for

livestock management, The CRLMP will enhance the sustainability principles which focus on

participatory approach in preparation of the Project. This is an important step towards ensuring the

relevance of the investments made and laying of institutional capacity at the community level for

the sustainability of the planned activities. Project sustainability will be ensured through

strengthened and sustainable institutional framework based on the use of existing country systems.

CRLMP will also fully use the decentralized structure of MoFL during implementation since it

will be community-driven and Government facilitated. The use of the Provincial and District

decentralized implementation system will ensure full community participation guided by District

authorities, which will continue after the CRLMP has phased out. For sustainability, the rural

community infrastructures will be constructed or rehabilitated by the community, either using their

own workforce (cooperatives) or recruiting an artisan, with full support from the Project. The

Project will demonstrate that the livestock infrastructures can be ably managed by the community

if given the necessary support including start-up capital for the livestock pass-on scheme which

will revolve with time. The process of community engagement and participation will be a learning

pilot intervention point for the sustainability and also useful database for other potential

development projects being planned by the Government.

4.4.2. The Project will put much emphasis on developing the capacity of beneficiaries and

strengthening their institutions like interest groups, associations or cooperatives. The beneficiaries

will be mobilised, organised into viable self-reliant entities, trained and empowered to view their

activities as business rather than subsistence activity. Gender sensitisation and mainstreaming

training at the community and local administration levels will ensure that women and youth

continue to participate and benefit equally from all rural livestock development activities. Project

sustainability will also be ensured by the proactive involvement of the beneficiaries,

District/Provincial staff in participatory M&E. Through the anchor/baseline Project, the

beneficiaries will contribute towards the cost of acquiring livestock through the pass-on scheme

which will show their commitment and cultivate sense of ownership.

4.6 Knowledge Building

The CRLMP is expected to generate considerable knowledge which will add value to the

overall design and management of similar future interventions. Lessons and experiences will be

shared within the Bank and other institutions interested in implementing similar projects through

CRLMP quarterly progress reports, audit reports, mid-term review report, and Project completion

report which will be produced and distributed, by the PCT, as these will form part of the

knowledge transfer and dissemination tools. The Project will promote the community

participation and management of the livestock infrastructures. The Project will work closely with

gender related organisations and key stakeholders for purposes of sharing information and

learning materials on women and youth empowerment in relation to livestock development. The

CRLMP will also focus on capacity building for key staff and livestock farmers (beneficiaries)

who will be fully involved in the planned activities based on the training needs assessment.

Discussion with the Project beneficiaries will also be valuable source of knowledge to be captured

and shared. Such activities will be conducted throughout the Project implementation period and

are aimed at enhancing the knowledge transfer. The CRLMP will develop guidelines, technical

messages, leaflets and training manuals on sustainable livestock management for both

Government staff and livestock farmers (men, women and youth) and also facilitate tours and

exchange visits amongst livestock-farming communities in order to share best practices in

resilient livestock development, integrating local knowledge as well as the technologies for

adaptation to climate change. The Project will also work with local NGOs and CBOs in order to

increase their capacity and knowledge so that they can ably continue implementing sustainable

livestock development activities.
