SIMLEZA Site Characterization for Eastern Province of Zambia Zhe Guo, Carlo Azzarri, Beliyou Haile SIMLEZA - Africa RISING Meeting May 2013, Lilongwe, Malawi 1

Understand the spatial pattern and heterogeneity Choose appropriate data layers for stratification Thus help Better target interventions Identify representative or otherwise appropriate action and control sites Guide scaling-up/scaling-out efforts within, across, and beyond 2 Objectives

Review of Spatial Biophysical and Socio-economic Data Layers ; Afripop Candidate data layers mapped to visualize their spatial distribution Final layers aggregated by classes Results will need refining 5

16 Final Classification

Conclusion and Caveats Candidate layers – population, market access, temperature, LGP, slope, elevation and rainfall Maps based on GIS location of 225 farmers from 7 camps in 3 districts Final layers for stratification - elevation and rainfall; 9 classes Site/Camp stratification:  Ludanzi (Hoya and Vuu): Low R - High E  Chipata (Kapara, Mtaya, and Chanje ): Low R and Medium E; Medium R and Medium E; Medium R and Low E  Katete (Kawalala and Kafumbwe): High R and Medium E Coarse resolution metadata more suitable to global analysis 17

Next Steps Update maps based on Feedback from Zambia team Higher-resolution/better data layers from Zambia team Data for all farmers (e.g., could there more than 1 class in Ludanzi: low-low), including from Mesekra Identification of target and control sites Data collection efforts Review of existing data SIMLEZA baseline survey tool 18
