    Zimbabwe Education Cluster Humanitarian Response & COVID-19 Sitrep: 14 May 2020 Cluster focal points Sibangani Shumba, Cluster Coordinator, [email protected] Dominic Muntanga, Cluster Co-coordinator, [email protected] Isaac Macha, Information Management Specialist, [email protected] Reporting period 01 – 14, May 2020 Report number #3 Key figures • 853,032 learners (ECD to Grade 7, ages 3 to 12) targeted under the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) through Education in Emergency support across 33 districts with severe needs. • 3.5 Million learners are currently affected and targeted under the COVID-19 pandemic. The cluster is targeting to reach them with various activities to address their needs. • 47,368 learners have been reached with HRP related activities with 18,459 learners being reached with COVID-19 related activities as of April 2020. • The cluster is appealing for US$52.5 million: US$ 41 Million through the Humanitarian Response Plan 2020 and US$11.5 Million through the newly launched COVID-19 Addendum. • 20 operational partners with activities planned, ongoing or completed. Humanitarian needs • Zimbabwe’s education system 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. The combined effect of the humanitarian crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have far-reaching implications for the protection and wellbeing of children as well as their readiness for school, attendance and participation in learning. • 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.
