Abstract
Climate change adaptation issues have recently gained attention for the past few years in Zimbabwe. However, little
has been done to explore the challenges, associated with climate change in the country. Therefore, this article explores
the challenges affecting small-scale farmers in the Zvishavane District of Zimbabwe in coping with climate change
vulnerability. The qualitative research methodology encompassing semi-structured interviews was used to collect data
from small-scale farmers and other key informants in the study area. The study portrays that small-scale farmers are
struggling to cope with climate change due to resource constraints, lack of access to credit and inputs, aid bottlenecks
coupled with contradiction of programs among other critical issues
