This report presents the summary of activities implemented under the grant during that period, the overall performance, the Capacity Development (CD) activities, and the successes and challenges encountered in the implementation of the grant. During the period under review, the grant recorded impressive performances and these are reflected in the A1 ratings it achieved in the semester 1 and semester 2. Noticeable improvements were observed in two of the HWRS and HIS components, especially the indicators on completeness and timeliness of reports to the national level. During the year, the CCM continued to provide its oversight leadership and guidance to the implementation of the grant. The PR also provided timely updates on grant implementation and progress to the CCM as well as data to populate the CCM dashboard. The PR worked collaboratively with the SRs and SSR in devising strategies for implementation of the grant, coordination of capacity building, and monitoring and evaluation, which ensured the basis for good performance. In 2013 the GFATM approved additional $2.7 million dollars to support the national rollout of the DHIS-2. The piloting of the system was completed in the first quarter of 2013 and the national rollout to provinces, districts and 166 hospitals was successfully completed with technical support from Oslo University (UiO). OVERVIEW OF THE GRANT 2.1 BACKGROUND Zimbabwe has experienced an unprecedented decline in health service delivery due to the high inflation, severe economic decline and rising poverty, which led to mass exodus of skilled workforce in particular from the health public sector. This adversely affected the country’s health delivery system and consequently health outcomes of the population. This situation seriously compromised efforts by the government of Zimbabwe and its international partners to provide universal access to basic health services and combat HIV, Tuberculosis (TB) and Malaria. The deterioration of the health sector has had a negative bearing on the Government of Zimbabwe in its quest to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which among others, include having halted by 2015 and reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS and reversing the incidence of Malaria, TB and other major diseases. In response, the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MOHCC) and some funding partners instituted the “Public Health Retention Scheme” in 2007/2008. The goal of the retention scheme was to reverse the outward migration of health staff from the country; and to ensure that the numbers of new trainees entering the health system from the clinical training schools exceed those leaving the sector. In 2008, a Harmonized Health Worker Retention Scheme (HHWRS) was set up as a joint initiative between the MOHCC, Health Services Board (HSB), College for Health Science, Harare

The thesis has not been accepted in any previous application for a degree elsewhere. All quotations have been distinguished by quotation marks and the sources of information clearly acknowledged by means of references. Signed: Name: Themba Nduna Date: 31 / 12 /2011 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Brian van Wyk, for his advice and guidance throughout the course of this study. Conducting research using a qualitative approach was such a challenge and pain-staking endeavour, particularly as a new experience quite unfamiliar for me. Dr van Wyk continued not to only challenge me but also to encourage, motivate and inspire me through positive feedback and that coupled with relevant guidance I got this far. I thank you, Brian. This study would not have been successful without invaluable support from the administration staff of the School of Public Health. If I do not mention the two beloved people, my wife Ruth and my one and only daughter Simphiwethina, my acknowledgement would be incomplete and short of sincerity.

  • Mashonaland Central Province Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (Zimvac) 2020 Rural Livelihoods Assessment Report Foreword
    Mashonaland Central Province Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) 2020 Rural Livelihoods Assessment Report Foreword The Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) under the coordination of the Food and Nutrition Council, successfully undertook the 2020 Rural Livelihoods Assessment (RLA), the 20th since its inception. ZimVAC is a technical advisory committee comprised of representatives from Government, Development Partners, UN, NGOs, Technical Agencies and the Academia. In its endeavour to ‘promote and ensure adequate food and nutrition security for all people at all times’, the Government of Zimbabwe has continued to exhibit its commitment for reducing food and nutrition insecurity, poverty and improving livelihoods amongst the vulnerable populations in Zimbabwe through operationalization of Commitment 6 of the Food and Nutrition Security Policy (FNSP). As the country is grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic, this assessment was undertaken at an opportune time as there was an increasing need to urgently collect up to date food and nutrition security data to effectively support the planning and implementation of actions in a timely and responsive manner. The findings from the RLA will also go a long way in providing local insights into the full impact of the Corona virus on food and nutrition security in this country as the spread of the virus continues to evolve differently by continent and by country. In addition, the data will be of great use to Government, development partners, programme planners and communities in the recovery from the pandemic, providing timely information and helping monitor, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 and any similar future pandemics. Thematic areas covered in this report include the following: education, food and income sources, income levels, expenditure patterns and food security, COVID-19 and gender based violence, among other issues.

  • 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.

  • Rise of an Earthkeeping Movement CHAPTER 1
    PART 1 Rise of an earthkeeping movement CHAPTER 1 Waiting for the rain January 1992. Fleeces of white cloud in shimmering pale blue skies - that is all we have. Halfway into the so-called rainy season there is noth­ ing else. Here in Masvingo those white rainless clouds, barren omens of death, shroud from a distance the mud puddle of Lake Kyle, all that remains of the jewel of our province. Have even the symbols switched in the lament of a dying land? Does the whiteness of cloud now evoke thoughts of death, not purity, and the blackness of rain cloud signify life? Or do black and white, the colours of African spirit mediums, still symbolise ancestral protection - a protection apparently lost as grass and leaves shrivel in the heat? For ten years we in Masvingo Province have been waiting for a really good season to break the chronic drought. Hot just scattered showers, as we have had, to fill a few farm dams and nurture only some of the maize crops in outlying districts. Ho! Torrential rains as we have last seen in the mid-seventies; rains that swell the rivers countrywide, fill the lakes, blot out the sun for two weeks on end, until the damp pro­ duces a green sheen on the shoes under your bed. Rains as we saw reg­ ularly as youngsters, when it was impossible to travel the red quagmire of the mountain road leading to Morgenster mission. When, coming from Fort Victoria, we had to walk for miles across the granite rocks of Mount Mugabe - vehicles left far behind at Wayside Farm - to reach home.
