    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.

    Social Organisation, Agency and Self-Help: Opportunities, Challenges and Prospects for Community Development in Zimbabwe

    American Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research (AJHSSR) 2019 American Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research (AJHSSR) e-ISSN :2378-703X Volume-3, Issue-4, pp-91-96 www.ajhssr.com Research Paper Open Access Social Organisation, Agency and Self-help: Opportunities, Challenges and Prospects for Community Development in Zimbabwe Tom Tom, Emmanuel Munemo Department of Development Studies, Zimbabwe Open University, Zimbabwe Department of Disability Studies and Special Needs Education, Zimbabwe Open University, Zimbabwe Corresponding author: Tom Tom ABSTRACT: The paper interrogates community organisation, agency and self-help in the context of community development. The paper is informed by the interpretive paradigm and qualitative research design. Basing on self-help development projects in selected 10 wards of Madwiza rural area in Shamva district, Mashonaland Central Province of Zimbabwe, the central argument is that the self-help to community development is increasing due to failure of the government to provide for the citizens, economic meltdown leading to unprecedented levels of unemployment and poverty deepening. Core findings are that the initiatives are important as coping strategies and are supported by several factors within the area (collective existence, norms of reciprocity, agency, social capital, labour availability, road and transport network for transportation of produce and natural conditions among other key variables). Several critical challenges are affecting the effectiveness of community self-help groups and their agency to address development challenges experienced by their members. These include low financial base, savings and (re)investment, limited lucrative markets, shortage of technical expertise, non-ownership of trucks, and conflicts, attrition and disintegration. Capacity building, technical and financial support from multi-stakeholders are essential in improving the functioning and outcomes of the self-help initiatives.

    Land and Agrarian Reform in Former Settler Colonial Zimbabwe.Indd

    3 A Decade of Zimbabwe’s Land Revolution: The Politics of the War Veteran Vanguard Zvakanyorwa Wilbert Sadomba Introduction The Zimbabwe state, governed since 1980 by a nationalist elite with origins in the liberation movement, has experienced complex dynamics and changes regarding class relations and power in a post-colonial settler economy. The state reached a climax of political polarisation during this last decade, from 2000 to 2010. In the first two decades of independence, the ruling nationalist class had enjoyed an alliance with settler capital forged during peace negotiations in 1979 at Lancaster House (see Horne 20011 and Selby 2006). The alliance antagonised and negated the aspirations of the liberation struggle expressed symbolically and concretely in terms of reversing a century old grievance over unequal colonial land ownership structures. War veterans were an ‘embodiment’ of this anti-colonial demand (Kriger 1995), although a scattered peasant movement had dominated land struggles until 1996 (see Moyo 2001). These war veterans, as a social category, were constituted by a movement of former military youth and so-called former refugees, whose nucleus were fighters of the Zimbabwe’s liberation war2. The conflict between the neocolonial state on the one hand and peasants and war veterans, on the other, intensified during the 1990s. The state had successfully managed to suppress the organisation of war veterans during the 1980s. However, in 1997, it conceded to provide for their welfare and financial demands and, LLandand aandnd AAgrariangrarian RReformeform iinn FFormerormer SSettlerettler CColonialolonial ZZimbabwe.inddimbabwe.indd 7799 228/03/20138/03/2013 112:40:392:40:39 80 Land and Agrarian Reform in Zimbabwe: Beyond White-Settler Capitalism as part of the conditions of a truce entered between war veterans and President Robert Mugabe, promised to redistribute land.

    Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission & Distribution Company Important Notice to Customers 2012 Winter Load Shedding Programmes

    ZIMBABWE ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION COMPANY IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS 2012 WINTER LOAD SHEDDING PROGRAMMES INTRODUCTION The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission & Distribution Company is experiencing a power shortfall due to generation constraints at Hwange Power Station, the low dispatch at the small thermal power stations and power import constraints. The power shortfall is being managed through load shedding in order to balance the power supply and demand. Power demand peaks to about 2100MW in Zimbabwe during the winter period. The load shedding programmes are only a guide for planning purposes. The power supply situation is DYNAMIC and load shedding on a day will depend on the power available and power demanded on the day. In the event of the supply shortfalls falling below anticipated averages on a particular day, then the additional areas indicated on the schedules will be load shed. ZETDC is doing everything possible to improve the available capacity. Customers are asked to use the limited power sparingly. All non-essential loads should be switched off. Domestic geysers and water heaters should be switched off manually between 5pm and 8pm to enable more residential areas to have power. All commercial customers are required to switch off all lights, office equipment and appliances that will not be in use over night. All customers are being called upon not to use lights during the day where possible. Essential services loads in the categories listed below are exempted from load shedding. • Major Referral Hospitals • Major Water & Sewer installations • National Security Establishments • Major Airports and Broadcasting Stations • Major Central Business Districts The major winter wheat clusters will receive priority supplies.

    Literature Review

    UNIVERSITY OF ZIMBABWE Impact and sustainability of drip irrigation kits, in the semi-arid Lower Mzingwane Catchment, Limpopo Basin, Zimbabwe By Richard Moyo A thesis submitted to the University of Zimbabwe (Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering) in partial fulfilment of requirements of Master of Science in Water Resources Engineering and Management ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers in the Mzingwane Catchment are confronted with low food productivity due to erratic rainfall and limitations to appropriate technologies. Several drip kit distribution programs were carried out in Zimbabwe as part of a global initiative aimed at 2 million poor households a year to take major step on the path out of poverty. Stakeholders have raised concerns of limitations to conditions necessary for sustainable usage of drip kits, such as continuing availability of minimum water requirement. Accordingly, a study was carried out to assess the impacts and sustainability of the drip kit program in relation to water availability, access to water and the targeting of beneficiaries. Representatives of the NGOs, local government, traditional leadership and agricultural extension officers were interviewed. Drip kit beneficiaries took part in focus group discussions that were organised on a village basis. A survey was then undertaken over 114 households in two districts, using a questionnaire developed from output of the participatory work. Data were analysed using SPSS. The results from the study show us that not only poor members of the community (defined for the purpose of the study as those not owning cattle), accounting for 54 % of the beneficiaries. This could have been a result of the condition set by some implementing NGOs that beneficiaries must have an assured water source - which is less common for poorer households.
