ABSTRACT
When the ISWC 2 programme started in Zimbabwe, there were already several islands of success in SWC that could have a positive impact on land husbandry activities beyond the borders of the communities concerned. ISWC-Zimbabwe focused on raising awareness about these successes, scaling them up and institutionalizing the approaches into major development programmes and government research and extension structures. The challenge was to spread not only the promising SWC techniques but also the participatory methods for developing, disseminating and adapting them.
