Programs Officer GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE : Mat South- Insiza,Umzingwane, gwanda Districts (B)ORGANISATIONAL INFORMATION Organizational history Godlwayo Community Development Trust (GCDT) a community based organization (CBO) was founded in February 2014. Initially a community lobby and advocacy group on human rights issues encompassing HIV and AIDS issues, livelihoods and governance issues was founded within the Godlwayo (Filabusi) community (Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe). The need to improve schools pass rate within Filabusi area greatly informed the formation of this initiative as the community well wishers started making financial donations towards paying school fees for disadvantaged but ably performing school kids and this gave birth to a program called Godlwayo Education scholarship Program (GESP). Also the community identified gaps in information dissemination since there is a media blackout in the area so the idea of a community radio initiative was then muted and supported and this gave birth to a community radio initiative by name Godlwayofm specifically for information dissemination currently using bulk sms facility to share community news. After a year of operating in Godlwayo (Filabusi) it has been noted that the services of the organization are needed in other district and surrounding areas and since this means growth and expansion, the need to register as a formal organization was then realized. Community support structures have been established in surrounding areas as a way of expanding the initiative and several volunteers are in the process to receive training in care, advocacy and lobby skills. The initiative has turned into a formal organization with the “Community Participation and Ownership key to sustainable Development” 2 registration as a trust. GCDT adopts a participatory and rights based approach to development that strengthens participation from all quarters and consolidates community values. Organization Vision Empowered and transformed community. Organization Mission At all levels of society we will endeavor to build the capacity of communities and empower youths and children through social development initiatives which include participation in Governance issues, information dissemination, leadership, skills training and support and knowledge sharing in HIV and AIDS, peace building and human rights.

  • Alluvial Aquifers in the Mzingwane Catchment: Their Distribution, Properties, Current Usage and Potential Expansion
    Physics and Chemistry of the Earth 31 (2006) 988–994 www.elsevier.com/locate/pce Alluvial aquifers in the Mzingwane catchment: Their distribution, properties, current usage and potential expansion William Moyce a,*, Pride Mangeya a, Richard Owen a,d, David Love b,c a Department of Geology, University of Zimbabwe, P.O. Box MP167, Mt. Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe b WaterNet, P.O. Box MP600, Mt. Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe c ICRISAT Bulawayo, Matopos Research Station, P.O. Box 776, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe d Minerals Resources Centre, University of Zimbabwe, P.O. Box MP167, Mt. Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe Abstract The Mzingwane River is a sand filled channel, with extensive alluvial aquifers distributed along its banks and bed in the lower catch- ment. LandSat TM imagery was used to identify alluvial deposits for potential groundwater resources for irrigation development. On the false colour composite band 3, band 4 and band 5 (FCC 345) the alluvial deposits stand out as white and dense actively growing veg- etation stands out as green making it possible to mark out the lateral extent of the saturated alluvial plain deposits using the riverine fringe and vegetation . The alluvial aquifers form ribbon shaped aquifers extending along the channel and reaching over 20 km in length in some localities and are enhanced at lithological boundaries. These alluvial aquifers extend laterally outside the active channel, and individual alluvial aquifers have been measured with area ranging from 45 ha to 723 ha in the channels and 75 ha to 2196 ha on the plains. The alluvial aquifers are more pronounced in the Lower Mzingwane, where the slopes are gentler and allow for more sediment accumulation.

  • Changing Hydroclimatic and Discharge Patterns in the Northern Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe
    Changing hydroclimatic and discharge patterns in the northern Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe David Love1, 2*, Stefan Uhlenbrook3,4, Steve Twomlow2 and Pieter van der Zaag3,4 1WaterNet, PO Box MP600, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe 2 ICRISAT Bulawayo, Matopos Research Station, PO Box 776 Bulawayo, Zimbabwe 3 UNESCO-IHE, Westvest 7, PO Box 3015, 2601 DA Delft, The Netherlands 4 Department of Water Resources, Delft University of Technology, PO Box 5048, 2600 GA Delft, The Netherlands Abstract Changing regional and global trends in climate and discharge, such as global warming-related declines in annual rainfall in south-eastern Africa, are likely to have a strong influence on water resource availability, and to increase livelihood risk. It is therefore important to characterise such trends. Information can be obtained by examining and comparing the rainfall and runoff records at different locations within a basin. In this study, trends in various parameters of temperature (4 stations), rainfall (10 stations) and discharge (16 stations) from the northern part of the Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe, were statistically analysed, using the Spearman rank test, the Mann-Kendall test and the Pettitt test. It was determined that rainfall and dis- charge in the study area have undergone a notable decline since 1980, both in terms of total annual water resources (declines in annual rainfall, annual unit runoff) and in terms of the temporal availability of water (declines in number of rainy days, increases in dry spells, increases in days without flow). Annual rainfall is negatively correlated to an index of the El Niño – Southern Oscillation phenomenon. The main areas of rising risk are an increasing number of dry spells, which is likely to decrease crop yields, and an increasing probability of annual discharge below the long-term average, which could limit blue-water availability.

  • Synopsis and Case Studies
    AN EVALUATION OF CLIMATE AND RUNOFF VARIABILITY AND ASSOCIATED LIVELIHOOD RISKS IN THE MZINGWANE CATCHMENT, LIMPOPO BASIN, ZIMBABWE# David Love1,2*,Stefan Uhlenbrook3, Elisha Madamombe4, Steve Twomlow2 and Pieter van der Zaag3 1 WaterNet, PO Box MP600, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe 2 ICRISAT Bulawayo, Matopos Research Station, PO Box 776 Bulawayo, Zimbabwe 3 UNESCO-IHE, Westvest 7, PO Box 3015, 2601 DA Delft, The Netherlands 4 Research and Data Department, Zimbabwe National Water Authority, Harare, Zimbabwe ABSTRACT Climate change occurs over relatively long time scales, although some acceleration in changes can also be seen in data of the last twenty years. The reasons for the current changes in the climatological variables might be anthropogenic (e.g. greenhouse gas emission) or natural (e.g. solar variability etc.), or most likely a combination of both reasons. An increasing body of evidence shows that greenhouse gas emissions are changing our climate significantly. Climate change is projected to substantially reduce available water (as reflected by projected runoff from a catchment) in many of the water- scarce areas of the world A statistical analysis was carried out of over fifty years of precipitation, temperature and runoff data from several locations in the Mzingwane Catchment – the portion of the Limpopo Basin that falls within Zimbabwe. The trends show declines in precipitation and runoff and increases in maximum and minimum temperatures, across the catchment. The trends observed are comparable to those predicted from some of the global circulation models (GCMs) based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Emission Scenarios (IPCC (SRES)). Regression analyses show the relationships between climate variability and change and decreasing runoff.

  • Poverty and Rural Development; Tapping from the Grassroots
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 2 Issue 5 ǁ May. 2013ǁ PP.21-35 Poverty And Rural Development; Tapping From The Grassroots. 1Edmos Mtetwa, 2Charles Dziro, 3Stella Takaza 1,2Lecturer, 3Assistant Slecturer University Of Zimbabwe School Of Social Work Private Bag 66022 Kopje Harare ABSTRACT: The situation of structural poverty in Zimbabwe has hardly improved during the last few years and Matabeleland South, like any other Province in the country, has not been spared its devastating effects. The Province has borne the brunt of the poverty due to a number of reasons. The following are some of the visible features that have characterized the Province: The accessibility of most rural services and infrastructure by most people has deteriorated due to reduced public spending. There is no stable source of income and no reliable access to food for the majority of the people in the Province. The health and educational services are of low standard and are sometimes not accessible to the poorer sections of the society. The productive capacity of the Province has been affected by persistent droughts and other disasters such as cyclones and HIV and AIDS. In view of the above, the overall goal of this discussion is to build a common understanding of poverty among several stakeholders, its root causes, its manifestation in the Province, but more importantly, how it can be reduced. I. INTRODUCTION Matabeleland South Province is one of the ten administrative provinces in the country. It is located in the south and South-western part of the country.
