Project Details Project Title: Masvingo Emergency School Rehabilitation Project Implementation Period: 1 March to 31 August 2012 Cluster: Education Organization: Plan International ERF Ref. Number: ERF-057 Locations Visited: Mapaike, Makovere North and Makovere South schools in Chivi district and Masogwe, Vinga and Shayamabvudzi schools in Mwenezi district Dates Visited: 29 and 30 August 2012 Members of Team Matilda Moyo and Alec Chikwani Visiting: Progress of Activities Review progress per the work plan submitted by the implementing organization with their initial application X Modest delays per plan, but acceptable On pace to succeed Progress is a concern Remarks: The mission visited all six schools, three in Chivi and another three in Mwenezi districts, which are benefiting from the project. The project started in March with community consultations. Actual construction work began in April and was expected to end in June 2012. It involves either rehabilitation or construction of classroom blocks following storms, depending on the extent of damage. The mission visited both schools that were constructing new blocks and those that were rehabilitating damaged ones. Progress on the schools in brief: Masogwe: The new two classroom block was completed at the end of July 2012 and it is already being used for classes. Vinga: The rehabilitated two classroom block combined with a headmaster’s office was completed in mid- July 2012 and it is already being used by pupils. Emergency Response Fund Guidelines Shayamabvudzi: The new two classroom block was complete by end of June 2012. Painting was done in August. Mapaike The new two classroom block is not complete yet. Some of the materials were still being delivered, especially the contribution by parents. The school also faces water problems and the well they were relying on dried up so they had to find another source and parents are ferrying water using scotch carts to ensure that the project is finished. The headmaster pledged that the block would be completed by the time schools reopened for the third term on 10 September. Makovere North School The block is not yet complete with a few finishing touches still outstanding such as beam filling, flooring, window frames and panes. The school also cited the water challenges as a drawback, although they have found an alternative source 3Km away. The headmaster said if work was done on the project daily, it would be complete and usable by the time schools reopen for the third term. Makovere South School The new two classroom block is not yet complete. Flooring, fitting of window panes, airvents and treatment of poles are yet to be done. The project was slowed down by the injury of the school guard during a burglary. He was hospitalized for a month and a half. The school head said the block would be complete by the time schools reopen for the third term. Context: Is the project addressing priority needs? Ensure the intervention is still the right course of action for the given context X The activities are very appropriate for the given context Needs have changed somewhat since the project was funded, but still mostly appropriate Significant reprogramming is required to ensure the projects relevance to the context The project is not at all appropriate for the given context Remarks: Given the nature and severity of the damage to schools caused by the storms, this is the best course of action, hence the project is addressing priority needs. 1 Emergency Response Fund Guidelines Community perspectives: What was the level of involvement of the community in planning and implementing the project? The success of programs frequently depends on the degree to which beneficiaries are engaged and given a voice X Highly involved Partially involved Not at all involved Not able to determine during this visit Remarks: All households within the communities were involved in the project and contributed, regardless of whether or not their children attend the school. Parents contributed materially in terms of bricks, sand and water. Where community members lacked the capacity to mould bricks, they contributed financially to the purchase of bricks or paid those who could produce them. In some cases like Mapaike, each household in the community was required to pay an additional $15 levy to support the project. Parents were grouped according to villages as each school serves a number of villages ranging from six to 18. Members from each village delivered their contribution of materials and provided labour on specific days, mostly once a week. Where the school serves many villages, e.g Masogwe which covers 18, more than one village contributed per day. The idea was to ensure that members from each village visited the benefiting school at least once a week and did some work. Each village had a supervisor, normally the chief or kraalhead, to ensure that every household provided its share of materials and labour on the agreed days. The School Development Committees (SDC), which comprise parents, were supervising the projects, with support from the line ministry and local authority. Parents who were interviewed expressed satisfaction at the level of consultation and also felt their involvement gave the community ownership over the project. Quality of project in adherence to international/national standards and best practice Either SPHERE standards, cluster endorsed local standards, or national standards for the given activity or sector should be the reference point for this section X Fully met the standards Some improvements required Did not meet the expected standards Not able to determine during this visit Remarks: Plan International has been working with the Ministry of Education, Sports, Arts and Culture (MoESAC)’s planning department and the respective town council engineers to 2 Emergency Response Fund Guidelines ensure adherence to national standards. For example, the plans used for the construction of new blocks were provided by the MoESAC and are for a standard primary school classroom block in Zimbabwe, while the ministry also supervised the construction. The council and MoESAC’s contribution to the project was in the form of technical expertise through engineers and other key staff who were supervising the project at every stage. The engineers approved each stage before the builders proceeded to the next. Plan International also provided technical support and supervision. One challenge that emerged but was addressed was the varying quality of materials contributed by households, especially bricks and sand. Communities resolved to either contribute money so these could be purchased from the same source, or to ensure that all households procure materials from the same source. Another issue mentioned was the quality and type of cement. The headmasters at Vinga and Shayamabvudzi schools said they were forced to use more cement because of the quality provided. This increased their costs although it did not compromise the quality of the building. They felt it would have been cheaper to use a better brand. The District Education Inspector from the MoESAC, Kenias Zendera said he was impressed with the community cooperation and coordination between the schools and the SDCs. He expressed satisfaction at the quality of materials and workmanship although he took cognizance of the issue raised by two schools on the quality of cement, which could have cost less in the long-run had it been better quality. He also commended the community’s role in the project, saying often times communities were content to receive, but in this project they contributed meaningfully which enhanced their ownership of the project. He also confirmed that the ministry inspected and monitored the project throughout its duration. The District Accounting Assistant for Chivi, Franco Mbire expressed concern at the slow speed of all three projects in the district. He noted that materials were available and of good quality. He also committed to continue monitoring the project as well as encourage parents to contribute towards ferrying water to the site as that was the major challenge. He was confident that the blocks would be complete by the time schools reopened for the third term. How strong was the synergy and coordination with partners in the project area? Include partnerships with local NGOs, local government, and other international actors X Very strong collaboration and information sharing Adequate collaboration Coordination with partners needs to be improved Not able to determine during this visit 3 Emergency Response Fund Guidelines Remarks: Plan International worked closely with all key stakeholders, including communities, local leaders such as chiefs, the town councils and the MoESAC. There was strong collaboration among all key players, as well as a strong sense of ownership of the project. Consideration of Cross-Cutting Issues A brief assessment of the inclusion or consideration of potential biases and vulnerable groups in the project implementation X Adequate steps were taken to identify and assist especially vulnerable groups, including through detailed and disaggregated beneficiary mapping Some steps were taken, but they could be improved Significant improvements are required Remarks: The beneficiaries, ie, children, by their nature are vulnerable. However, a mapping exercise that disaggregates data by sex was conducted prior to commencement of the project. Overall Comments Overall assessment of the project based on the above review components and additional information learned during the visit Remarks: Summary of key findings - The project was supposed to be completed by the targeted date of 30 June 2012. However, while all schools experienced some delays, those in Mwenezi district managed to complete the project by end of July at the latest. - Schools in Chivi are a concern as none of them were complete. The ministry has committed to supervising the project more closely.

  • An Investigation Into the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Fallow Land and the Underlying Causes in Southcentral Zimbabwe
    Journal of Geography and Geology; Vol. 4, No. 4; 2012 ISSN 1916-9779 E-ISSN 1916-9787 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education An Investigation into the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Fallow Land and the Underlying Causes in Southcentral Zimbabwe Emmanuel Manzungu1 & Linda Mtali2 1 Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe 2 Department of Science Technology, Harare Polytechnic, Zimbabwe Correspondence: Emmanuel Manzungu, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe. E-mail: [email protected] & [email protected] Received: July 11, 2012 Accepted: August 10, 2012 Online Published: September 24, 2012 doi:10.5539/jgg.v4n4p62 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jgg.v4n4p62 Abstract The purpose of the study was to assess the spatial and temporal distribution of fallow land in Zimbabwean communal lands and the underlying causes against a backdrop of reports of an increasing proportion of agricultural land being left fallow, which has also been reported in other parts of Africa. Chivi district, that is located in the south central part of the country, was used as a case study. Landsat images complemented by field assessments were used to assess changes in fallow land between 1984 and 2010. Standard soil and social science analysis methods were used to assess the likely biophysical and/ or socio-economic causes. The proportion of fallow land was found to increase up to 51.5% during the period, mainly because of socio-economic rather than biophysical factors. Draught power shortage was ranked as the major cause (34%) followed by labor shortage (24%), lack of inputs (22%), and poor soil fertility (16%).

  • Zimbabwe Community COP20
    COMMUNITY COP20 ZIMBABWE COMMUNITY PRIORITIES PEPFAR COUNTRY OPERATIONAL PLAN 2020 Introduction Civil society and people living with and affected by HIV in Zimbabwe appreciate the increased PEPFAR budget support in COP20 by US$63m. Zimbabwe remains committed to ending HIV/AIDS by 2030 despite its current social, economic and political challenges. While Zimbabwe is celebrated for achieving more with less, the operating environment has deteriorated significantly over the past 12 months. Power outage, cash and fuel shortages have made project implementation costly and unsustainable. Throughout this period, disbursements to health remained unpredictable and below budget allocation with just over 80% of the budget allocated being disbursed. In 2018, 64% of the Government of Zimbabwe (GOZ) budget allocation for Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) was for salaries according to the Resource Mapping Report, 20191. This leaves the larger burden of important health system components (e.g. commodity needs and distribution, laboratory sample transportation, and health facility operational costs, etc.) in the hands of external funding from donors.

  • University of Pretoria Etd – Nsingo, SAM (2005)
    University of Pretoria etd – Nsingo, S A M (2005) - 181 - CHAPTER FOUR THE PROFILE, STRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS OF THE BEITBRIDGE RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the basic features of the Beitbridge District. It looks at the organisation of the Beitbridge Rural District Council and explores its operations as provided in the Rural District Councils Act of 1988 and the by-laws of council. The chapter then looks at performance measurement in the public sector and local government, in particular. This is followed by a discussion of democratic participation, service provision and managerial excellence including highlights of their relevance to this study. BEITBRIDGE DISTRICT PROFILE The Beitbridge District is located in the most southern part of Zimbabwe. It is one of the six districts of Matebeleland South province. It shares borders with Botswana in the west, South Africa in the south, Mwenezi District from the north to the east, and Gwanda District in the northwest. Its geographical area is a result of amalgamating the Beitbridge District Council and part of the Mwenezi- Beitbridge Rural District Council. The other part of the latter was amalgamated with the Mwenezi District to form what is now the Mwenezi District Council. Significant to note, from the onset, is that Beitbridge District is one of the least developed districts in Zimbabwe. Worse still, it is located in region five (5), which is characterized by poor rainfall and very hot conditions. As such, it is not suitable for crop farming, although this takes place through irrigation schemes. University of Pretoria etd – Nsingo, S A M (2005) - 182 - The district is made up of an undulating landscape with shrubs, isolated hills and four big rivers.

ALLISON GOEBEL (QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY, CANADA) DR. FRANK MATOSE (PLAAS, UWC) ii ABSTRACT An Agrarian History of the Mwenezi District, Zimbabwe, 1980-2004 Kudakwashe Manganga M. PHIL Thesis, Programme for Land and Agrarian Studies, Department of Government, University of the Western Cape. The thesis examines continuity and change in the agrarian history of the Mwenezi district, southern Zimbabwe since 1980. It analyses agrarian reforms, agrarian practices and development initiatives in the district and situates them in the localised livelihood strategies of different people within Dinhe Communal Area and Mangondi Resettlement Area in lieu of the Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP) since 2000. The thesis also examines the livelihood opportunities and challenges presented by the FTLRP to the inhabitants of Mwenezi. Land reform can be an opportunity that can help communities in drought prone districts like Mwenezi to attain food security and reduce dependence on food handouts from donor agencies and the government. The land reform presented the new farmers with multiple land use patterns and livelihood opportunities. In addition, the thesis locates the current programme in the context of previous post-colonial agrarian reforms in Mwenezi. It also emphasizes the importance of diversifying rural livelihood portfolios and argues for the establishment of smallholder irrigation schemes in Mwenezi using water from the Manyuchi dam, the fourth largest dam in Zimbabwe.
