It considers how precedent-setting initiatives around community-led settlement upgrading and innovative funding mechanisms for upgrading have not only leveraged practical gains, in the form of improved housing and basic service provision, but have also been instrumental in the strengthening of this collaborative partnership. ZHPF have also pursued city-wide profiling and an alternative incremental approach to development in order to achieve strategic gains such as pro-poor policy and legal reforms.

It specifically examines the work of the Zimbabwe Homeless People’s Federation (ZHPF) in Harare, Zimbabwe. The Federation is one of 33 in the Shack/ slum Dwellers International (SDI) network. The findings, it is hoped, hold lessons for the work of organised urban poor communities and urban authorities throughout the Global South. The paper sets out the development of ZHPF from the The Federation in Zimbabwe has drawn on SDI late 1990s and the processes by which they galvanised procedures to create platforms by which urban poor their community-based organisations and savings groups can engage with local government, and groups through exchanges with SDI partners such community savings have been at the centre of this as the South African Homeless People’s Federation. approach. The Federation’s Gungano Fund, valued Through these interactions they also learnt that seeking at US$1million in 2014, has been used for more than to develop partnerships with local governments to household loans; the Federation has been instrumental persuade them to consider settlement upgrading in convincing local governments that federations have could be more effective than demanding rights or the capacity to transform neighbourhoods and has been protesting against evictions. In order to develop these used to engage strategically with government at various partnerships, the communities must first convince local levels. They have used savings to build resource centres governments that they are more than squatters, and that are models for household upgrading in settlement that they have the scope to participate in city planning communities, and have often invited city officials to cut and development processes. ZHPF began trying to the ribbon to open the centres in order to showcase convince local governments through pilot projects that their approach and designs for slum upgrading. were underpinned using local community savings.

This paper documents one the past. significant breakthrough in 2002, where the Federation of Harare was able to thwart a planned eviction and secure land for the urban poor by presenting community savings records and community enumerations. 4 www.iied.org IIED WORKING PAPER With the support of the NGO Dialogue on Shelter, the Federation have been working not only to improve access to housing and basic services, but also to reform policies that undermine the scope of the urban poor to be able to pursue community-led upgrading. Over time, the Federation has been able to leverage and encourage significant pro-poor policy reforms. As a consequence of their lobbying, building regulations have been amended to be more accommodating of the upgrading approaches adopted by urban poor groups, while the alliance’s promotion of incremental slum upgrading as a more affordable and manageable approach to slum upgrading for urban poor groups has been captured in the National Housing Strategy as a pro-poor services delivery strategy. www.iied.org 5 BRICK BY BRICK | TRANSFORMING RELATIONS BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND THE URBAN POOR IN ZIMBABWE 1 Introduction: Citizen engagement with the state at the local level The genesis of community organising in Zimbabwe At Independence (in 1980) the manner of citizen towns and cities can be traced to the early days of mobilisation within cities continued to be workplace- urbanisation as migrant labourers sought to recreate based deriving from the trade union origins of communities based to a large extend on their tribal organising.

It still remains a National Policy Agenda and a problem in most developing countries like Zimbabwe. Due to climate change, the impacts of droughts are expected to deepen where the capacity to adapt is low. Though it remains a challenge in communities, local people have devised different coping mechanisms based on the resources that are locally available but the effectiveness of these are questionable. Therefore, using both qualitative and quantitative methods this work aims at identifying the drought mitigation strategies used in ward 12 of Chegutu district. People are using drought mitigation strategies which include food aid, food for work, and sale of livestock, remittances and irrigation schemes where provision of food aid and food for work while the least effective were remittances and irrigation. The study also revealed that 72% of the community was not familiar with the effectiveness of all the drought mitigation strategies used. The strategies are held back by challenges in the ward which induce poor service delivery by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and government departments in mitigating droughts, poverty, corruption, lack of resources and unclear selection criteria of beneficiaries as well as lack of markets thereby leading to inefficiency of the drought mitigation strategies.

The cluster is targeting to reach these learners with various activities to address their needs. • 105,252 people have benefitted from activities related to the HRP and 398,023 people have benefitted from COVID-19 related activities as of August 2020. • Cluster Partners are appealing for US $41 Million through the Humanitarian Response Plan 2020 and US $10.26 Million to meet the emergent needs outlined in the COVID-19 Addendum. • 20 operational partners within the cluster have planned, ongoing or completed activities. Humanitarian needs • The education system in Zimbabwe was already stretched before the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of multiple crises, including the impact of Cyclone Idai last year, the economic crisis coupled with hyperinflation and the ongoing drought. Before the onset of the COVID-19 epidemic, estimates by the Education Cluster were that of the more than 3.4 million children of school going age (3 to 12 years), at least 1.2 million (35 per cent), would need emergency and specialized education services in 2020.
