The Agriculture Cluster brings together stakeholders working in the agriculture sector in Zimbabwe. Through an active partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture Mechanization and Irrigation Development (MoAMID), AGRITEX, UN Agencies, NGOs, research institutes, private sector and other stakeholders the Cluster is an important mechanism for coordination of activities among stakeholders aimed at improving the livelihoods of vulnerable farming households.
