The ICA for Zimbabwe found five distinct patterns of overlap between levels of recurring food insecurity and levels of risk of exposure to natural shocks. These patterns yield ICA Categories 1 to 5 and their respective areas as presented in the tables below. Districts experiencing these patterns were then categorised accordingly and mapped. The ICA Categories and areas provide evidence to inform broad programmatic strategies and a basis for discussion with partners. Details on districts and area implications are provided in Part 2 of this report.
