Abstract

The chapter delves into the devastating impact of Cyclone Idai on the livelihoods of residents in Zimbabwe's Chimanimani district. It explores the unique strategies survivors employ to reconstruct their livelihoods, including gardening, informal trading, and casual labor. The study also highlights the challenges they face, such as limited access to credit, gender discrimination, and the necessity to engage in risky ventures. The research underscores the importance of human agency and the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework in understanding the post-disaster recovery process. By focusing on the survivors' resilience and innovative strategies, the chapter offers valuable insights into effective disaster response and recovery efforts.
