What do avocados, macadamia nuts, conservation farming, and solar energy have in common?

They are all part of a powerful transformation happening right now in rural Zimbabwe.

We take you behind the scenes at CICADA, one of the Zimbabwean companies that has accessed financing under the @euzimbabwe European Union's Global Gateway initiative, through the European Investment Bank.

Over the past three years, more than USD100 million has been made available in long-term loans to Zimbabwean companies, especially in the horticulture sector, boosting entrepreneurship, climate resilience, and job creation.

We're on the ground in Katiyo, Honde Valley, where CICADA is empowering small-scale farmers with conservation agriculture techniques, developing avocado and macadamia plantations, and using solar energy to power change from the roots up.

Tune in as we sit down with CICADA's local heroes.
