A monitoring and evaluation report of the Conservation Agriculture Project (CAP1) in Zambia

This monitoring and evaluation report describes the Conservation Agriculture Project 1 (CAP1), implemented by the Zambian National Farmers Union's Conservation Farming Unit from 2006 to 2011 to support 120,000 farm households in specific Zambian regions.

• The Conservation Agriculture Project 1 (CAP1), implemented by the Conservation Farming Unit (CFU) of the Zambian National Farmers Union (ZNFU) between 2006 and 2011, aimed to reach 120,000 farm households across the Central, Eastern, and Southern regions of Zambia.
• Project activities centered on promoting specific tillage methods, such as ripping and basins measuring 30cm long, 15cm wide, and 20cm deep, as well as the distribution of grain and tuber legumes and the planting of Jatropha curcas and Faidherbida albida trees.
• The project established an extension system comprising associate farmers, contact farmers, farm coordinators, and regional coordinators (CFU staff), with monitoring conducted by Noragric through field visits, field measurements, and household surveys involving staff and students from Norway and Zambia.
