This report analyses attendance by participants, various speeches made by the guests of honour who graced the plenary sessions and the award ceremony. A further analysis of the winners per category is shown and the report concludes by highlighting summit outcomes, lessons learned, and the post summit next steps. The summit evaluation is attached as Annex E at the end of the report. The summit was attended by a total of 107 participants (65 females and 42 males) these consisted of entrants, judges, civil society organisations, and regional alliance partners as well as funding partners). A comprehensive list of participants is attached as Annex A, while the summit programme is attached at Annex B. There was wide media coverage from the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (see media logs in Annex C). Background to the 2018 summit The Summits in Zimbabwe started in 2012 with the first ever Gender Justice & Local Government Summit hosted by Gender Links (GL) at Kadoma. This has since become an annual event in the Gender Links calendar. With pressure and popularity increasing the summits were brought down to District level as from 2013-2015, where GL hosted both summits at District Level and National level. These saw local authorities, government departments and civil society converge to showcase their best practices. As the SADC Protocol on Gender & Development neared its end there was need for a review of the gains of the SADC Protocol as well as build momentum for a strong Post 2015 agenda thus the main focus of the 2015 Summit was on the Post 2015 Agenda & SDGs. The 2016 summit which ran under the theme: 50/50 by 2030: Empower Women, End Violence, was a forerunner to the Sixteen days of Activism from 25 November to 10 December 2016. Prior to this summit 79 councils had joined the Centres of Excellence programme for Gender in Local Government. 2 Figure 1: Number of case studies from the 2012-2018 Summits Entries 180 165 155 160 140 131 120 100 80 66 57 58 60 40 20 0 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2018 Figure 1 shows the number of case studies presented at summits since 2012. The summits have seen a combined 642 case studies have been collected by the Zimbabwe country office since 2012. The 2018 national summit had the most number of case studies of any year with 175 entries collected. However, only 86 of these were presented at the summit. Programme Welcome and introduction Melania Mandeya as the director of ceremonies, welcomed all officials, partners, donors and participants to the summit. She highlighted that the summit was unique in that, it had once again brought best practices from local authorities across the 10 provinces from Zimbabwe, having had the last summit in 2016. This is one which councils had been looking forward to having. Summit objectives The Zimbabwe Country Manager, Priscilla Maposa gave a brief background to the summit and the COE process for the benefit of those individuals who were not familiar with the work that gender links was doing the summit objectives as follows: • To bring together all key stakeholders to share strategies and good practises for achieving the SADC Gender Protocol and Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs) • To gather evidence on the SADC Gender Protocol@Work through case studies on local government institutional practices. • To profile and affirm the work of local government Centres of Excellence. • To build linkages between local government, civil society and media work on the ground as part of the broader objective of gender responsive governance and accountability, and developing a critical citizenry around the SADC Gender Protocol and Sustainable Development Goals • To establish progress scores for the Centres of Excellence for Gender in Local Government/ measure performance • To promote discussion and reflection on what works to end gender violence. • Strengthen the gender movement from local to national to regional to international level. She thanked all the participants for their tireless work in documenting their best practices. 3 Plenary Discussion on local government The Summit was characterized by a plenary discussion on Gender and Local Government - What are the gaps? What strategies can be put in place to address the gaps? The discussion was led by four panellists that is Melania Mandeya Town Secretary for Gokwe Town Council, Dr. Munoriarwa C.E.O for Bindura RDC, Mr. Chinake C.E.O for Mutare RDC and Mrs Zhou Chamber Secretary for Bulawayo City Council. The panellists started by introducing themselves to the summit participants and presentations were done. Below are the key issues that came out of the presentations: Gaps Lack of scientific research on the causes of GBV Females and males do not have equal access and opportunities in Zimbabwe. Women are not able to live free of violence and discrimination. All 17 SDGs depend on the achievement of Goal 5 ( Gender Equality) Restrictive cultural practices, laws and regulations are still in place and they are disadvantage women and girls. Property rights are still beyond the reach of most women and girls in Zimbabwe. There is lack of political will to drive the gender agenda. Critical decision making meetings are conducted outside office hours and most women will not participate. Lack of mindset change programmes. No strategies in place to educate young children on gender. Gender equality is being viewed as a "women's issue." Corruption

  • Zimbabwe`S Unfinished Business: a Report on the July 2013 Harmonized Elections SEPTEMBER 2013
    Zimbabwe`s Unfinished Business: A report on the July 2013 Harmonized Elections SEPTEMBER 2013 1 | P a g e Introduction Zimbabwe’s much vaunted elections have come and gone. With simmering questions about mass disenfranchisement and alleged fraud, it is no exaggeration to say that the elections, which were supposed to settle long standing political and electoral issues have left more questions than answers. Although many thought and hoped that the Global Political Agreement (GPA) signed in 2008, and which provided the framework for conducting the polls would solve Zimbabwe’s political problems, the elections and the processes leading up to them have not created a permanent solution to the country’s problems. When the GPA was signed the parties committed themselves to working together to create a genuine, viable, “permanent”, sustainable and nationally acceptable solution to the Zimbabwean situation with the aim of “resolving once and for all the current (2008) political and economic situations and charting a new political direction for the country”1 . The preamble to the GPA also notes that the signatories were determined to build a society free of violence, fear and intimidation, hatred, patronage, corruption founded on justice, fairness, openness, tolerance, transparency, dignity and equality, respect for all persons and human rights. All these commitments were made against the background of years of political conflict where these values and principles had hardly been respected and where many people had lost their lives and livelihood. Through implementing the GPA provisions, it was envisaged that there would be uncontested election outcome thereby settling the legitimacy of political and electoral processes in Zimbabwe.

  • Livelihoods and Natural Resource Management Dynamics
    LIVELIHOODS AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DYNAMICS IN FAST TRACK LAND RESETTLEMENTS, KWEKWE DISTRICT, ZIMBABWE Farai Mumanyi 2014 A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agriculture (Extension and Rural Resource Management) In the College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science School of Agricultural, Earth and Environmental Sciences University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg ABSTRACT The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate an Agricultural community and its system of Natural Resource Management (NRM) in the post–Fast Track Land Reform Program (FTLRP) era in Zimbabwe. The study contributes to understanding issues facing Agricultural Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) set ups in two resettlement models. The aim was to establish the influence that the FTLRP had on emergent practice and use of the natural resource base. The main task was to explore the patterns of natural resource use within the dynamics of culture, vulnerability and governance issues. The researcher deliberately enriched the case study with interviews, questionnaires, focus group discussions and participatory observations to promote triangulation (confirmation) of results. The field work for the study was carried out in Kwekwe District in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe. The main part of the district falls in Agro ecological zone III and the smaller part in zone IV. Agro ecological zone III is a semi-intensive farming area prone to sporadic seasonal droughts, long-lasting, mid-season dry spells and the unpredictable onset of the rainy season. Agro ecological zone IV is subject to drought and dry spells in summer, rendering the area unsuitable for arable farming but favourable for semi-extensive beef production.
