Since October 2010, DAI has been implementing the Zimbabwe Agricultural Competitiveness Program (ZimACP), with funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The project is a 4.5-year initiative designed to support and facilitate the farming and agribusiness sector, through their representative bodies, to dialogue and arrive at consensus on policy issues that affect the competitive environment for undertaking the business of agriculture in Zimbabwe. One of the three objectives of the programme is to enhance the capacity of business service providers to deliver demand-driven training and technical assistance at the firm and farmer levels. This gender-focused manual has been developed as a contribution to this objective. The manual is intended to encourage farming families to work together, make corporate decisions, and harness each family member’s talents in managing the farm business, for greater productivity and prosperity of farming businesses. The manual will assist agribusiness enterprises acquire planning and business skills so as to be fully commercial, and achieve higher profits and competitiveness. The manual focuses on building farmers’ business management knowledge and skills in record keeping, planning, risk management, market analysis, and contract management. These skills will help farmers understand the impact that improved management, diversification, and market selection can have on their farm incomes. The manual was not developed to replace existing training materials, but to complement them by addressing gender disparities in the management of agribusiness enterprises.
