MAKUMBE RICHARDS District MARANGE Temperatures are normally comparatively low and the rainfall is consequently highly Hospital NYASHANU 18 affective enabling afforestation, fruit and intensive livestock production to be practiced. 2 Gwiranenzara 5 In frost-free areas plantation crops such as tea, coffee and macadamia nuts can be Denhere Nyashanu MURAMBINDA Nyashanu 8 Chiguhune Clinic Nerutanga Clinic Rural Hosp grown, where the mean annual rainfall below 1400mm, supplementary irrigation of Chiguhune Clinic these plantation crops is required for top yields. Bakorenhema Region IIA - Intesive Farming : Rainfall is confined to summer and is moderately 4 Gvt Clinic high (750-1000mm). Two sub-regions have been defined. Sub-region IIA receives an 15 average of at least 18 rainy pentads per season and normally enjoys reliable 18 BUHERA 17 conditions, rarely experiencing severe dry spells in summer. The region is suitable for NHAMO NYANGANI 19 Chikwariro intensive systems of farming based on crops and /or livestock production. 1 Buhera Rural 6 14 Zvipiripiri Mission Clinic Hospital Mvimvi Hospital MUTARE Region IIB - Intesive Farming : This sub-region receives an average of 16-18 rainy BAMBAZONKE Nzvenga pentads per season and is subject either to rather more severe dry spells during the clinic Bwizi rainy season or to the occurrence of relatively short rainy seasons. In either event, clinic MUDANDA 20 16 crop yields in certain years will be affected, but not sufficiently and frequently to Betera change the overall utilization from intensive systems of farming. Dambara Rural Health Clinic Centre Dambara 17 Region III - Semi-Intensive Farming : Rainfall in this region is moderate in total amount (650-800mm), but, because much of it is accounted for by infrequent heavy Mudanda 23 Denhere Domborenikiti Clinic falls and temperatures are generally high, its effectiveness is reduced. This region will 25 receive an average of 14-16 rainy pentads per season. The region is also subject fairly Nyazvidzi Viriri Clinic Clinic severe mid-season dry spells and therefore is marginal for maize, tobacco and cotton Nyazvidzi production, Wete Chikara St Andrews 4 Mission or for enterprises based on crop production alone. The farming systems, in conformity Firomumwe 32 16 Hospital with the natural conditioning factors, should therefore be based on both livestck Zvinavashe Madzimbashuro NYAZVIDZI Firomumwe Rural Health production (assisted by the production of fodder crops) and cash crops under good Centre ZVIPIRIPIRI Masasi management on soils of high available moisture potential. clinic Soti BUHERA Source Clinic Region IV - Semi-Extensive Farming : This region experiences fairly low total rainfall Soti Chirozva Tongogara Mutunduru Guchacha MUTSAGO (450-650mm) and is subject to periodic seasonal droughts and severe dry spells Source Musara Clinic during the rainy season.

  • 1 Research Application Summary Evaluating the Level of Adoption Of
    Research Application Summary Evaluating the level of adoption of improved agrosilvopastoral technologies, factors affecting adoption and establishing the species and systems adopted among small holder farmers of Buhera and Mutasa Districts of Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe Chihota B.P., Mupanda K., Mrema M., Tagwira F. & Ajayi O.C. Background Two thirds of the rural populations in most countries of Sub-Saharan Africa subsist on less than US$1 a day. The farmers’ economies have weak linkages to the markets and they have little or no access to external inputs. The increasing cost of inputs and high transport costs make external inputs unaffordable for the smallholder farmer (Spencer, 2002). Inorganic fertilizer use has declined to 8kg/ha (NEPAD, 2006). Smallholder farmers cannot afford stock feeds for supplementing limited and poor quality pasture during the dry and cold season. Land degradation and siltation are an environmental concern that also reduces yields (Rattsø, 1996). Crop and livestock yields are low and declining. Countries like Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique and Botswana are affected and as a result, food insecure (Bohringer, 2002). Some agroforestry technologies have been shown to improve the soil and animal fodder availability (Dzowela, 1994; Govere, 2003). Agroforestry can improve crop and livestock production by providing relatively less costly, more affordable and locally available inputs for fodder and soil amendments to the smallholder farmer. Government departments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like World Agroforestry Centre (WAC) are scaling up agroforestry through training and distributing germplasm to the smallholder farmers in the region. Not much has been done on assessment of adoption and factors that affect adoption of agroforestry in different geographical areas and agricultural sectors in Zimbabwe.

  • An Analysis of Interventions for Reducing Maternal Mortality in Rural Zimbabwe: a Case Study of Murambinda Mission Hospital and Surrounding Clinics
    ‘A JOURNEY THROUGH MATERNITY’: AN ANALYSIS OF INTERVENTIONS FOR REDUCING MATERNAL MORTALITY IN RURAL ZIMBABWE: A CASE STUDY OF MURAMBINDA MISSION HOSPITAL AND SURROUNDING CLINICS BY Vimbainashe S. NJOVANA Supervisor: Professor Julie Stewart A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a Masters Degree in Women’s Law, Southern and Eastern African Regional Centre for Women’s Law, University of Zimbabwe 2014 ABSTRACT The maternal mortality ratio in Zimbabwe sits at 960 deaths per 100,000 live births which is a far cry from the targeted 174 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2015 envisaged in line with its Millennium Development Goals. Despite the various international human rights provisions dealing directly with women‟s reproductive and maternal health, the situation seems to be deteriorating. The writer does not attempt to investigate maternal mortality with its varying and complex causes, contributory factors and reduction methods but investigates one intervention, namely the maternity waiting home (MWH) concept. She focuses on one maternity waiting home at Murambinda Mission Hospital where she is able to use the unique women‟s law approach and grounded theory to gather empirical data on the realities of the women who are actually making use of the maternity waiting home. She uses various other methodological approaches, including the human rights and constitutional interpretation, in investigating the extent of Zimbabwe‟s compliance with provisions dealing with maternal health care. The new Zimbabwean Constitution which for the first time contains the right to health, provides the opportunity to ask the question, „What does basic health care as provided for in the Constitution mean for a pregnant woman in rural Zimbabwe?‟ She finds that though the maternity waiting home was designed to cater for the rural woman and is a free service, the costs associated with the resultant birth that must take place at the district level hospital proves too costly for many women.
