Across Africa, restoring degraded ecosystems is key to improving livelihoods, ensuring food security, and building resilience for vulnerable communities. Through participatory planning and robust technical design, WFP’s asset creation initiatives bring communities together to transform their environments—reclaiming farmland, managing watersheds, and building a future of sustainable growth.
To amplify this impact, WFP has launched the Livelihood Assets & Resilience Academy (LARA), fostering local expertise to scale resilience initiatives. In Zimbabwe, the bootcamp, led by the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) with WFP’s support, focuses on practical training for land restoration and community empowerment. Together, we’re paving the way for a more resilient, self-reliant future.

![Ever wondered how peanut butter is made?🥜 Watch Edith make hers in #Zimbabwe
Edith’s peanut butter is more than just a delicious spread. It’s a business she built from scratch five years ago, which got a boost in 2021 thanks to a #WFP urban resilience programme funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). For Edith, a single mother of four, her business means building a better future for her family - and those of the women she’s been able to hire to help her (1 to 2 women, depending on demand/the production season). “I feel good because now I have managed to help another family [through hiring someone]”, Edith explains. As a single mother of four, including an adult son with a disability, this means a lot to Edith🧡
In 2023, WFP supported more than 10,000 households in the country through this programme.
Strengthening local food systems is key to reducing humanitarian needs and creating a #ZeroHunger world. Ever wondered how peanut butter is made?🥜 Watch Edith make hers in #Zimbabwe](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AhbSUuDDQP8/mqdefault.jpg)
