  • An Analysis of Interventions for Reducing Maternal Mortality in Rural Zimbabwe: a Case Study of Murambinda Mission Hospital and Surrounding Clinics
    ‘A JOURNEY THROUGH MATERNITY’: AN ANALYSIS OF INTERVENTIONS FOR REDUCING MATERNAL MORTALITY IN RURAL ZIMBABWE: A CASE STUDY OF MURAMBINDA MISSION HOSPITAL AND SURROUNDING CLINICS BY Vimbainashe S. NJOVANA Supervisor: Professor Julie Stewart A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a Masters Degree in Women’s Law, Southern and Eastern African Regional Centre for Women’s Law, University of Zimbabwe 2014 ABSTRACT The maternal mortality ratio in Zimbabwe sits at 960 deaths per 100,000 live births which is a far cry from the targeted 174 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2015 envisaged in line with its Millennium Development Goals. Despite the various international human rights provisions dealing directly with women‟s reproductive and maternal health, the situation seems to be deteriorating. The writer does not attempt to investigate maternal mortality with its varying and complex causes, contributory factors and reduction methods but investigates one intervention, namely the maternity waiting home (MWH) concept. She focuses on one maternity waiting home at Murambinda Mission Hospital where she is able to use the unique women‟s law approach and grounded theory to gather empirical data on the realities of the women who are actually making use of the maternity waiting home. She uses various other methodological approaches, including the human rights and constitutional interpretation, in investigating the extent of Zimbabwe‟s compliance with provisions dealing with maternal health care. The new Zimbabwean Constitution which for the first time contains the right to health, provides the opportunity to ask the question, „What does basic health care as provided for in the Constitution mean for a pregnant woman in rural Zimbabwe?‟ She finds that though the maternity waiting home was designed to cater for the rural woman and is a free service, the costs associated with the resultant birth that must take place at the district level hospital proves too costly for many women.

Moseley b a Department of Geography, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602-2502, USA b Department of Geography, Northern Illinois University, Dekalb, IL 60115-2854, USA Received 13 November 2000; in revised form 25 June 2001 Abstract The CAMPFIRE program in Zimbabwe is one of a `new breed' of strategies designed to tackle environmental management at the grassroots level. CAMPFIRE aims to help rural communities to manage their resources, especially wildlife, for their own local development. The program's central objective is to alleviate rural poverty by giving rural communities autonomy over resource management and to demonstrate to them that wildlife is not necessarily a hindrance to arable agriculture, ``but a resource that could be managed and `cultivated' to provide income and food''. In this paper, we assess two important elements of CAMPFIRE: poverty alleviation and local empowerment and comment on the program's performance in achieving these highly interconnected objectives. We analyze the program's achievements in poverty alleviation by exploring tenurial patterns, resource ownership and the allocation of proceeds from resource exploitation; and its progress in local empowerment by examining its administrative and decision making structures. We conclude that the program cannot eectively achieve the goal of poverty alleviation without ®rst addressing the administrative and legal structures that underlie the country's political ecology.

  • Understanding Adaptation to Climate Variability in Smallholder Farming Systems in Eastern Zimbabwe: a Sociological Perspective
    Rev Agric Food Environ Stud https://doi.org/10.1007/s41130-018-0074-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Understanding adaptation to climate variability in smallholder farming systems in eastern Zimbabwe: a sociological perspective Sandra Bhatasara1 Received: 16 November 2016 /Accepted: 24 May 2018 # INRA and Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The literature on climate change in Zimbabwe continues to grow, but literature specifically focusing on how people in rural communities are responding to it is still comparatively limited. Only a few scholars have sought to offer a reasonably detailed account of farmers’ concerns and adaptation from localised, qualitative case studies based on farmers’ narratives. As such, this article is empirically based, using mainly qualitative data from a broader research on understanding climate variability and livelihood adaptation conducted in Mutoko District in rural Zimbabwe. In doing so, the aim is not only to contribute empirical data to existing knowledge but also more importantly to theorise adaptation sociologically. The main argument is that farmers are reflexively engaged in various adaptive strategies predominantly at the household level not only to adapt to increasing climatic variability but also to simultaneously navigate a difficult socio-economic landscape. The adaptive strategies are underpinned by diverse structures, processes and conditions that are enabling and constraining. Hence adapta- tion is unfolding as a complex and reflexive process under specific socio-spatial conditions. Keywords Climatevariability.Farmers.Adaptation.Adaptationprocesses.Reflexivity Introduction A consistent conclusion among climate change scholars in Zimbabwe is that the country is experiencing both climate change and variability. At the same time, there is emerging evidence that local communities are already grappling with the adverse * Sandra Bhatasara [email protected]; [email protected] 1 Sociology Department, University of Zimbabwe, P.O.
