  • 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.

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.
