The Africa Centre for Holistic Management (ACHM)is governed by a board that comprises the 5 local tribal Chiefs, and other influential people drawn from the Zimbabweans society which enhances food and water security and human livelihoods through training that utilizes livestock to restore degraded watersheds and croplands to health. ACHM is headquartered near Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe on an 8,500-acre (3,400-hectare) property known as Dimbangombe Ranch. The ranch serves as a learning site for those assisting pastoralists and agro-pastoralists, demonstrating:

“Everything that explains the world has in fact explained a world that does not exist, a world in which men are at the center of the human enterprise and women are at the margin “helping” them. Such a world does not exist—never has.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
