ZIMBABWE NEWS OCTOBER/NOVEMBER, 1993 Zimbabwe News Official Organ of ZANU PF )J Restructuring Party organs ZANU PF is a mass organisation whose members, followers and sympathisers constitute the majority of Zimbabwe's 10 million population. Mobilising this huge mass of people and chan-. nelling. their diverse energies into deliberately plainned courses of action is a work requiring infinite and unflinching perseverance. The political and social environment in which we'are all living is fluid and never becomes static. The attendant dynamics entail periodic self-rejuvenation through restructuring exercises to suit the constantly changing environment. A mass organisation that fails to change with the times is sure to fall into the danger of the proverbial tail which has no choice bqt to follow behind always. ZANU PF is credited, even by its enemies, with the ability to command positive vision and foresighteven under the most unfavourable circumstances. In fullfilment of its abilities, the ruling Party is embarking on a restructuring exercise aimed at the rejuvenation of all its organs in preparation for the 1995 General Elections.

  • 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.

    A campaign A campaign in~itiated by The Africa Fund. TMay 28, 1992 To: Southern Africa Support and Human Rights Groups From: Adotei Akwei, Research Department Re: Drought And Famine in Southern Africa: There is a disaster in the making which will make the famine and drought cases of the 1980s seem mild in comparison. Southern Africa is reeling from the worst drought of the century which may ultimately claim the lives of millions of people. Among the most the most vulnerable as usual are the rural poor, the elderly ,and children. The severe drought caused by the warming of Pacific Ocean currents that affect air pressure and wind patterns known as "El Nino" is wreaking devastation on people already burdened-b inequitable land distribution and wars of destabilization. These wars have cost the region over one and a half million lives and sixty two million dollars in gross domestic product between 1980 and 1988 alone. In addition many of the governments are either in the process of dismantling or reorganizing to accommodate democratic reform and western style economic policies, leaving the majority of their populations without much of a safety net in terms of government resources. Beyond the immediate need for food there is concern about long term damage on the region.The southern African landscape of scorched fields of failed crops stretches from Angola to South Africa and is in danger of becoming a permanent dustbowl. The 10 nation Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC) has launched a campaign to encourage international support to combat the famine which will affect close to 30 million people in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
