Zambezi Valley in general remain one of the least developed areas in the country, highly vulnerable to chronic food insecurity due to external shocks such as drought and crop failure causing annual food shortages particularly among the poorest and most vulnerable households. Among the underplaying causes of poverty in the Zambezi Valley a re lack of pro-poor policies and/or ineffective implementation of existing policies. Therefore, Basilwizi's work is still relevant and has the potential to accomplish its mission in light of the current political dispensation in Zimbabwe.
