Executive Summary The humanitarian situation in Zimbabwe continues to be stable but fragile due to many factors. The main humanitarian needs in Zimbabwe relate to food security, the continued threat of disease outbreaks, and requirements relating to specific needs of a wide range of highly vulnerable groups, such as child- or female-headed households, the chronically ill, internally displaced people (IDPs), returned migrants, and refugees and asylum-seekers. The food security situation improved slightly in 2011 thanks to joint and concerted efforts by the Government and the humanitarian community in timely provision of agricultural inputs and increased acreage planted plus extension support. However, uneven rainfall distribution and a dry spell in the 2011 agricultural season affected six of the country‟s ten provinces and forestalled a potential good harvest that could have reversed the food aid needs. The increasingly uncertain pattern of weather, characterized by droughts and poor rains, is making farming difficult and unpredictable. It is projected that 1.026 million people (12% of the Consolidated Appeal for Zimbabwe population) will still require food assistance at the Key parameters peak of the 2012 lean season. Rates for chronic and Duration 12 months (Jan - Dec 2012) acute child malnutrition still stand at 34% and 2.4%, Key Harvest: April 2012 respectively. A third of rural Zimbabweans still milestones Planting: October 2012 in 2012 drink from unprotected water sources and are thus Continuing political and exposed to water-borne diseases. While cholera constitutional process incidence is significantly decreased compared to past Target 1.446 million people at risk of beneficiaries years, localized outbreaks continued in 2011 due to food insecurity. poor infrastructure for water, sanitation, hygiene and Eight million people with health.

  • The Institutional and Socio-Economic Constraints to Smallholder Tobacco Production and Marketing in Mount Darwin District of Zimbabwe: the Value Chain Approach

P Bag X1314, Alice 5700, Republic of South Africa This research was financed by the Govan Mbeki Research and Development Centre. Abstract This study used the value chain approach to identify the institutional and socio-economic constraints to tobacco production and marketing in Mount Darwin District; Zimbabwe. Three hundred and eighty farmers were randomly sampled for the study. Key informant interviews were used to collect data from input suppliers, contractors, buyers, auction floors, the Tobacco Industry Marketing Board, EMA and government extension staff. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and the Pairwise ranking matrix. Results from the study identified shortage of foreign currency and high transport costs as the major constraints affecting input suppliers. Dry spells, labour shortages, high inputs costs, fuel shortages, pests were some of the farmers’ constraints to tobacco production. Some of the major marketing constraints affecting the smallholder farmers included low producer prices, high transport costs, theft in transit and exploitative prices offered by tobacco merchants. Auction companies cited viability challenges due to declining tobacco volumes sold through auction floors.

  • Zimbabwe, the GGP Programme Started in 1989 and Has Since Provided Support to About 130 Organisations
    Introduction Japan’s Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP), or “Kusanone” in Japanese, provides funding for projects implemented by non- profit and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as well as local authorities. In Zimbabwe, the GGP programme started in 1989 and has since provided support to about 130 organisations. The goal is to meet basic human needs and ensure human security at the grassroots level. The GGP programme is the token of friendship from the people of Japan to the people of Zimbabwe. The many smiles and words of appreciation that we have received from the beneficiaries of our assistance are our greatest reward. “Kusanone” means “Grassroots”: “Kusa” is grass and “ne” is roots. The special character of the scheme is called “Kusanoneko” (Grass Kitty): “neko”, meaning cat, is a play on the word Kusanone. Construction of an Emergency Call Centre and Children’s Drop-in Centres (Childline Zimbabwe, 2012) Construction of Classroom Blocks at Tshayile Primary School in Bubi District Rural Women and Children Legal Resource Trust (2014) Before After 1 Target Areas of Projects To meet basic human needs and ensure human security at the grassroots level, the GGP programme focuses on projects that will benefit people in utmost need. In particular, given the Zimbabwean context, the following areas are prioritised: a) Basic Education, such as: e) Child Protection and Prevention of - building new classrooms for primary school Gender-Based Violence, such as: Grades 1 - 7 and secondary school Forms 1 – 4 - constructing a counselling/education centre, - providing furniture (desks and chairs for shelter, orphanage, etc. students/teachers) f) Support for Disadvantaged People, such as: - construction of teachers’ accommodation.

  • The Bright Lights Grow Fainter
    The Bright Lights Grow Fainter Livelihoods, Migration and a Small Town in Zimbabwe Agnes Andersson Abstract The Aids pandemic and structural adjustment policies (SAP) have had effects on lower income households in Zimbabwe which have been devastating and people have been required to adapt their livelihood strategies. Small towns meanwhile are growing rapidly in Zimbabwe and mobility towards these towns may be connected with the changes being forged by SAP on the economic landscape. This study seeks to establish how the individual migrant uses mobility to negotiate this landscape. This involves mobility directed towards small towns to access advantageous provisioning possibilities, and also the engagement in a multitude of family linkages from the small town to other places within the settlement system. Substantiated through a case study of Rusape, this study suggests that lower living costs, higher food security and a more accessible labour market may be attracting migrants from higher level urban centres. The role of the network of kin relations in mobility is important and migrants’ networks over space cover both rural homes and urban areas. The access to networks, however, is being stratified under SAP and the ability to maintain linkages with relatives is declining, suggesting a rising vulnerability connected with the inability of leaving places and entering others. Key Words: Zimbabwe, livelihood, migration, mobility, provisioning, structural adjustment, Rusape, small towns, kin networks Copyright Agnes Andersson and the Department
