Building resilience among smallholder farmers is critical for safeguarding livelihoods and ensuring food security in the face of escalating climate challenges. This chapter synthesises findings from diverse case studies on building the resilience of smallholder farmers to the environmental shocks in selected districts in Zimbabwe based on experiences from the Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund. The chapter proffers policy interventions aimed at enhancing the resilience of smallholder farmers to the adverse effects of climate change, particularly focusing on extreme events such as droughts. Key strategies for building the resilience of smallholder farmers to shocks include the adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices, improved livestock management and the accumulation of productive assets. The chapter highlights the importance of gender-sensitive approaches, social capital and access to financial services in building resilience. It also underscores the role of water infrastructure and human capital development in mitigating the impacts of environmental shocks. The findings suggest that targeted interventions, especially for young and poor households, are crucial for sustainable resilience building.
