I could not have come this far without the support of many people and I want to express my deepest appreciation to them. First and foremost, thanks are due to Helen Charnley, my academic supervisor. Her whole hearted support, encouragement, criticism, comments and friendship throughout my study were extremely invaluable. I am also grateful to Professor Lena Dominelli, my second supervisor. They somehow got the balance just right between supporting and challenging me. My thanks also go to the School of Applied Social Sciences for their unwavering and timely support. Without this, it would not have been possible for me to have undertaken research fieldwork in Zimbabwe and I would not have had the opportunity to present at an international conference during the course of my study. For that I am really grateful. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the disabled people in Binga District who graciously gave up their time to tell me about their experiences of exclusion from community life. All were very welcoming. I also owe thanks to government employees, traditional leaders, community leaders as well as a representative of a national disabled people‟s organization for wholeheartedly participating in the research study. i Lastly, and most importantly, I would like to thank my family for the emotional support they offered me. Special thanks go my daughter Lusyomo who has provided daily reminders of the need for my quick return to Zimbabwe. ii ABSTRACT Development theory, policy and practice have undergone considerable change since the end of Second World War in 1945. In this period development has increasingly come to be understood as a process that must involve the „poor‟. And within development discourse, there is little disagreement that disabled people are amongst the poorest (Elwan, 1999; Katsui, 2007). According to the Asian Development Bank (2000:1), “poverty and disability reinforce each other.” However, although poverty affect both men and women worldwide (Welch, 2002), available literature on women and poverty (Buvinic, 1997; Omar, 2011) suggest that women‟s lives are characterised by increased poverty levels when compared to their male counterparts. This is largely due to women‟s subordinate status, which is compounded by the presence of impairment (Welch, 2002). This study explores the experiences of disabled people in development processes in Binga, a district of Zimbabwe shaped by Tonga culture and characterised by political oppression and isolation. Twenty disabled adults in three wards contributed accounts of their life experiences in narrative interviews. Interviews were also held with government officers, traditional community leaders (chiefs, councillors) and a representative of a national disability organization to elicit their understanding and awareness of disabled people‟s participation in development processes. Four focus group discussions with disabled and non-disabled people were held and six village and ward committee meetings observed to gain a deeper understanding of public attitudes to disabled people. iii Despite the modernising effects of globalisation in Zimbabwe, Tonga cultural beliefs still dominated understanding about the causes and implications of bodily impairment. Disabled people summarily defined and subjected to negative stereotyping, experienced pernicious social exclusion from community life, starting with low family expectations and aspirations, limited access to education and persistent exclusion from opportunities to take responsibility as citizens of their own communities. But employing Sen‟s capability framework, conceptualisation of development as freedom and considerations of justice, brings new insights not only into understanding disabled people‟s experiences of exclusion, but also possible ways in which disabled people could be included in the development processes of villages and wards in which they live. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS TITLE PAGES DECLARATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ABSTRACT CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Why study disability and development? 2 1.2 My interest- What led to this study? 6 1.3 Research site: The rationale for choosing Binga District 10 1.4 The aims and objectives of the research study 13 1.5 Outline of this thesis 13 CHAPTER 2 DISABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT: THE LITERATURE 15 2.1 Introduction 15 2.2 Use of language 16 2.3 Conceptualizing disability globally 19 2.4 Disability: Models and approaches 22 2.4.1 The Medical model of disability 23 2.4.2 The Social model of disability 26 2.4.3 The International Classification of Functiong, Disability and Health (ICF) 31 2.4.3.1 The strengths and limitations of the ICF 32 Strengths 32 Limitations 33 2.4.4 The Cultural model of disability 36 2.4.4.1 Sub-Saharan African perspectives 39 2.4.5 Beyond models of disability: a capability approach 47 2.4.5.1 Functionings, capabilities, agency and freedoms 48 2.4.5.2 Disability, functioning and capability 53 2.4.5.3 The added value of the capability approach 55 Linking agency, policy and poverty 55 Distinguishing functionings and capabilities 56 Recognising individual experience: embracing feminist perspectives of disability 57 Focus on freedom and social justice 58 v 2.5 Conceptualising Development 60 2.5.1 Defining the concept of development 62 2.5.2 Development theories 64 2.5.2.1 Modernisation development theory (1960s-1970s) 64 2.5.2.2 International dependency theory (1970s) 67 2.5.2.3 Neo-liberal development theories (1980s-1990s) 70 2.5.3 Linking development theory and disability 72 Modernisation theory and disability 72 Dependency theory and disability 74 Neo-liberal theory and disability 75 Development and disability as human right issues 77 Summary 78 2.5.4 Development and disability at the millennium 78 2.6 Development, social exclusion and disabled men and women 79 2.6.1 Gender and Development 82 2.6.2 Disability, gender and development 88 2.7 Summary 94 CHAPTER 3 DISABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT: ZIMBABWE CONTEXT 96 3.1 Introduction 97 3.2 The disability movement in Zimbabwe 96 3.3 Politics and the development process in Zimbabwe 100 3.3.1 Decentralisation 102 3.3.2 Decentralisation in Zimbabwe 104 3.3.3 Creating local participatory structures in Zimbabwe 106 3.3.3.1 Village Development Committees (VIDCOs) 107 3.3.3.2 Ward Development Committees (WADCOs) 108 3.3.3.3 District Development Committees (DDCs) 109 3.3.4 Success stories of decentralisation in Zimbabwe 112 3.3.4.1 Education sector 113 3.3.4.2 Rural water supplies 117 3.3.4.3 Wildlife management 118 3.3.5 Challenges to decentralisation in Zimbabwe 119 3.4 Conceptualising participation in development 122 3.4.1 Participation as citizenship 123 3.5 Summary 130 CHAPTER 4 METHODOLOGY 132 4.1 Introduction 132 4.2 Research Design 133 vi 4.3 The use of narratives 136 4.4 Gaining access: places and people 139 4.4.1 Access within Binga District 141 4.5 Selecting research areas and participants 142 4.5.1 Selecting wards, traditional leaders (chiefs) and elected ward councillors 142 4.5.2 Selection of disabled participants 143 4.5.2.1 Selection criteria 143 4.5.2.2 Snowball sampling 144 4.5.3 Section of non-disabled participants 146 4.5.4 Selecting government officers 147 4.6 Data collection 147 4.6.1 Narrative interviews 149 4.6.2 Semi-structured interviews 155 4.6.3 Non-participant observation of Village and Ward Assembly meetings 158 4.6.4 Focus group discussions (FGDs) 162 4.7 Managing data: from talk to transcription

    POLITICAL ECONOMY RESEARCH INSTITUTE University of Massachusetts Amherst Community Rights, Costs, and Benefits: The Question of Natural Resource Stewardship and Community Benefits in Zimbabwe’s CAMPFIRE Program James C. Murombedzi January 2003 CONFERENCE PAPER SERIES No. 16 Committees, Rights, Costs and Benefits: The Question of Natural Resource Stewardship and Community Benefits in Zimbabwe’s CAMPFIRE Program James C. Murombedzi The Ford Foundation Johannesburg, South Africa 1 In the CAMPFIRE formulation, the resource management problems obtaining in the communal areas of Zimbabwe are the result of the absence of both the institutional capacity as well as the incentives to manage the resources in question. The CAMPFIRE solution, therefore, was to introduce new systems of group ownership and territorial rights to natural resources to communities, and provide the appropriate institutions for legitimate resource management for the benefit of these communities (Martin 1986). The implementation of this solution was attained through the enactment of an amendment to the Parks and Wild Life Act of 1975, which enables the government to delegate appropriate authority over the wildlife to the ‘communal representatives’. The CAMPFIRE program in fact constitutes a transfer of the notion of ownership, successfully implemented with regard to individual landowners, to communal landowners (Farquharson 1993). This chapter tests the extent to which CAMPFIRE has in fact been able to devolve ownership over wildlife to communities in the communal areas, and thereby promoted stewardship of wildlife through the production of benefits for the participating communities. To achieve this, I will proceed by first evaluating the extent to which CAMPFIRE has succeeded in eliciting stewardship of the wildlife resource by participating communities through the devolution of clear and unambiguous rights to wildlife to these communities.

Only recently, social work practitioners, researchers, and academics have begun to explore social entrepreneurship including its significance to social work practice. This paper discusses social enterprise as an innovative and dynamic approach to social work practice which addresses complex societal challenges within a constrained but constantly changing environment. Since social entrepreneurship embraces the application of business acumen to raise income for the purposes of supporting a social mission, its application to social work practice in Zimbabwe’s voluntary sector has become indispensable, given the dwindling state and donor funds to support and sustain social services delivery. The paper underscores that since social enterprise is premised on a culture of innovation, openness and adaption, it represents a hands-on approach to sustainable

Ikubolajeh Logan a, William G. 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.
