In order to revamp agricultural production in Zambia, Government in 2002 introduced the. Farmer Input Support Programme whose aim was to improve small scale farmers’ access to maize based agricultural inputs. However, in 2015/16 season, the Ministry of Agriculture moved away from the conventional FISP and introduced an Electronic Voucher system which broadened the target inputs farmers were allowed to purchase beyond maize inputs only. The overall objective of this study was to assess the impact of the E-Voucher system on crop productivity and income diversification among small scale farmers. The study was conducted in Lukanda Agricultural Camp in Mulungushi farm block of Kapiri Mposhi district which was selected purposively. The study interviewed One Hundred and Fifty Four (154) small scale farmers who were randomly selected using a structured questionnaire out of which 104 were FISP E-voucher beneficiaries and 50 non-beneficiaries. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences.The study explored the richness of the livelihood sources that directly contribute to food security and income.
