Interlocking livelihoods: farm and small town in Zimbabwe

Department of Rural and Urban Planning University of Zimbabwe P.O. Box MP 167 Mount Pleasant Harare Zimbabwe fax: 263 (4) 333407/335249 akamet{at}zimbix.uz.zw

This paper describes the nature of the relationship between two settlement types in Zimbabwe. It explores the links between the often neglected and underestimated farm and the ever-popular town in north-western Zimbabwe. Two interactive channels and their associated sub-channels are identified and analyzed. The nature of these interactions shows that the links between the two settlement types are by no means simple and cannot be narrowed down to the traditional rural-urban divide. The paper concludes by discussing the question of benefits and intervention in the light of the identified livelihood channels.
