Artists’ role in disaster and risk reduction awareness
Artists play a crucial role in disaster risk reduction by using their creative voices to spread awareness through various forms of art such as music, dance, poetry, and theatre. This is particularly important in Zimbabwe, which is prone to cyclones and floods. Collaboration with NGOs and the government is essential for capacitating artists to effectively communicate disaster risk reduction messages. Digital platforms like TikTok and YouTube can also be leveraged to reach wider audiences.

Zimbabwe's Smallholder Farmers Tackle Climate Change with New Strategies
Zimbabwe is facing a severe drought, prompting the declaration of a state of disaster. Smallholder farmers in regions like Manicaland, Masvingo, and Matabeleland are proactively adapting to climate change by adopting new farming techniques and livelihood strategies.
