  • Zimbabwe Annual Budget Review for 2016 and the 2017 Outlook
    ZIMBABWE ANNUAL BUDGET REVIEW FOR 2016 AND THE 2017 OUTLOOK Presented to the Parliament of Zimbabwe on Thursday, July 20, 2017 by The Hon. P. A. Chinamasa, M.P. Minister of Finance and Economic Development 1 1 2 FOREWORD In presenting the 2017 National Budget on 8 December 2016, I indicated the need to strengthen the outline of the Budget Statement presentation as an instrument of Budget accountability and fiscal transparency, in the process improving policy engagement and accessibility for a wider range of public and targeted audiences. Accordingly, I presented a streamlined Budget Statement, and advised that extensive economic review material, which historically was presented as part of the National Budget Statement, would now be provided through a new publication called the Annual Budget Review. I am, therefore, pleased to unveil and Table the first Annual Budget Review, beginning with Fiscal Year 2016. This reports on revenue and expenditure outturn for the full fiscal year, 2016. Furthermore, the Annual Budget Review also allows opportunity for reporting on other recent macro-economic developments and the outlook for 2017. As I indicated to Parliament in December 2016, the issuance of the Annual Budget Review, therefore, makes the issuance of the Mid-Term Fiscal Policy Review no longer necessary, save for exceptional circumstances requiring Supplementary Budget proposals. 3 Treasury will, however, continue to provide Quarterly Treasury Bulletins, capturing quarterly macro-economic and fiscal developments, in addition to the Consolidated Monthly Financial Statements published monthly in line with the Public Finance Management Act. This should avail the public with necessary information on relevant economic developments, that way enhancing and supporting their decision making processes, activities and engagement with Government on overall economic policy issues.

  • Zimbabwe Livelihood Baseline Profile
    Zimbabwe Livelihood Baseline Profile Kariba Valley Kariangwe Jambezi Communal August-September 20101 Main Conclusions and Implications Crop production is the main food source over the reference year contributing 38 percent of very poor household food access and 82 percent for the Better-off. The main constraints to improved land utilisation and crop production are lack of draught power and poor access to seeds and fertiliser. Extension services and monitoring of agriculture activities should be strengthened through support to the ministry of agriculture’s department of extension services (AGRITEX). The livelihood zone borders with Mutusadona and Chizarira national parks. Proximity to national parks increases human, livestock and wildlife interaction. Elephants, Baboons, Buffaloes and Quela birds often stray into fields and destroy crops. Livestock production, which has relatively increased in recent years, is also limited by concerns over tsetse fly outbreaks. Surrounding communities receive little benefit from resources in the national parks except for the occasional slaughter of wild animals. Strengthening the CAMPFIRE scheme provides a framework for legal and sustainable access to natural resources found in the national parks. Food aid distributed for six months enabled very poor and poor households to access their minimum food requirements. Limited livelihood options and adverse weather conditions combine to increase very poor and poor households’ vulnerability to food insecurity and poverty. Over the last ten years, the risk of food insecurity has been addressed primarily through food aid distributions. External assistance whose focus has been on addressing immediate consumption needs has created dependency and is undermining long term household coping capacity and development prospects.
