Recommended citation: UNICEF Zimbabwe (2016) The Child Poverty in Zimbabwe: A Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis of Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2014. Harare, UNICEF Foreword Poverty reduction is a national priority for Zimbabwe. The Ministry of Finance and Economic Development coordinated the development of an Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (IPRSP) (2016-2018) for Zimbabwe. The purpose of the IPRSP is to enhance Government efforts in fighting poverty in Zimbabwe and ensure inclusive growth, guided by the country’s national development plan, Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (ZimASSET). This report presents the multidimensional child deprivation analysis for Zimbabwe, applying the Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (MODA) methodology that measures various aspects of child poverty. Child poverty is defined as non- fulfilment of children’s rights to survival, development, protection and participation, anchored in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The 2014 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) data was used, taking the child as a unit of analysis and applying a life-cycle approach when selecting dimensions and indicators to capture the different deprivations children experience at different stages of their life. The main objective of the report is to present Child Poverty in Zimbabwe using a direct method of child poverty measurement which analyses deprivations experienced by the child. The report goes beyond mere deprivation rates and identifies the depth of child poverty by analysing the extent to which the different deprivations are experienced simultaneously. Focus on the key determinants affecting children today creates an enabling environment to support evidence-based advocacy around investment in critical basic services, including where high future returns can be achieved (e.g. education, nutrition, water and sanitation and early childhood development). These will help to accelerate the unfinished business as well as sustain the gains on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and pave the way for achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We thank Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) for their financial support and acknowledge the great technical support and contribution of Prof. Dr. Chris De Neubourg and Nesha Ramful from the Economic Policy Research Institute (EPRI) and Marlous de Milliano from the UNICEF Office of Research – Innocenti.

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.

    SOUTHERN AFRICA Flash Update No.6 – Tropical Cyclone Eloise As of 23 January 2021 HIGHLIGHTS • Tropical Cyclone Eloise made landfall near Beira City in Sofala Province, Mozambique in the early hours of 23 January. • After landfall, Eloise downgraded to a Moderate Tropical Storm bringing heavy rains and strong winds in Sofala Province. • The most immediate concern is the potential for significant flooding, including in the days ahead. • Eloise is expected to continue to move inland, bringing heavy rains to southern Zimbabwe, northern South Africa and far eastern Botswana. SITUATION OVERVIEW Tropical Cyclone Eloise made landfall in central Mozambique on 23 January at around 2 a.m., near the coastal city of Beira, with winds of 140 km/h and gusts up to 160 km/h, according to Mozambique’s National Institute of Meteorology (INAM). Beira received 250 mm of rain in 24 hours, according to INAM, while other areas that were flooded ahead of Eloise’s landfall—including Buzi and Nhamatanda—also received additional heavy rains. After landfall, Eloise downgraded to a moderate tropical storm with a maximum wind speed of 83 km/hr. The weather system continues to move in a westerly direction, bringing high amounts of rainfall in its wake, according to the South Africa Weather Services (SAWS). Luisa Meque, President of Mozambique’s National Institute for Disaster Risk Management and Reduction (INGD), has noted that it is too early to quantify the extent and scale of the destruction, but that the damage in Beira appears to be mild. Electricity was down in parts of the city and communications networks were damaged.

  • Grain and Feed Annual Report Zimbabwe
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 7/17/2014 GAIN Report Number: Zimbabwe Post: Pretoria Grain and feed annual report Report Categories: Grain and Feed Approved By: Eric Wenberg Prepared By: Dirk Esterhuizen Report Highlights: Zimbabwe received above average rainfall in the 2013/14 production season. As a result, post estimates corn production to increase by 63 percent, from 800,000 tons in the 2013/14 MY, to about 1.3 million tons in the 2014/15 MY. However, corn production will still fall short of meeting the annual demand of 1.8 million tons and corn imports of about 500,000 tons will have to augment domestic production. Post estimates Zimbabwe’s planted area under wheat in the 2014/15 MY, at 8,000 hectares that will produce a wheat crop of around 25,000 tons, similar as in the 2013/14 MY. As a result, Zimbabwe will have to import an estimated shortfall of 275,000 tons of wheat. Executive Summary Post estimates corn production to increase by 63 percent, from 800,000 tons in the 2013/14 MY to about 1.3 million tons in the 2014/15 MY. This is after Zimbabwe experienced a favorable rainfall season and registered a 36 percent increase in corn area planted from 950,000 hectares in the 2013/14MY to 1.3 million hectares in the 2014/15 MY. Despite the good season, Zimbabwe’s corn production will fall short of meeting annual domestic demand of around 1.8 million tons.

  • Consultant, Human Centered Design Approaches for Sustainable Latrine Construction and Utilization in Takunda Target Communities
    Scope of Work: Consultant, Human Centered Design Approaches for Sustainable Latrine Construction and Utilization in Takunda Target Communities. Supervisor Title: Director, PRO-WASH Work Location: Remote with potential travel to project areas in Zimbabwe Deadline to apply: Thursday, July 22nd at 5 p.m. EDT/USA Send all questions and application materials to: [email protected] Background PRO-WASH (Practices, Research and Operations in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) is a five-year project led by Save the Children and funded by the USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance. PRO-WASH works with partners to strengthen the quality, effectiveness and sustainability of WASH practices in BHA-funded development and emergency food security activities. As part of PRO-WASH’s ongoing technical support to partners, PRO-WASH will be hiring a consultant to support the Takunda, a USAID funded Resilience Food Security Activity (RFSA) in Zimbabwe to use human centered design approaches to support sustainable latrine construction and utilization in Takunda target communities. Use of improved sanitation facilities remains low in majority of Zimbabwe’s rural communities, despite the concerted efforts to improve water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) by the government of Zimbabwe, with support from development partners. An estimated 15% of households in Manicaland and 36% in Masvingo province still practice open defecation, while 55% and 51% of households respectively, use improved facilities which are not shared with other households. Takunda aims to increase access to improved sanitation facilities in Zaka and Chivi districts in Masvingo province and Mutare and Buhera districts in Manicaland. To enhance sustainable uptake of improved sanitation facilities, Takunda wishes to apply Human Centered Design (HCD) techniques to understand consumer preferences to improve the design and delivery of latrines for rural communities in Takunda target districts.

  • Report No. MP/86/2/R TECTONIC
    Report No. MP/86/2/R TECTONIC INVESTIGATION OF MASVINGO PROVINCE, ZIMBABWE: PRELIMINARY REPORT by D. GREENBAUM British Geological Survey 28 February 1986 Keyworth Nottingham NG12 5GG ABSTRACT This report summarises the preliminary results of a structural investigation in the Masvingo (Victoria) Province of SE Zimbabwe undertaken as part of a hydrogeological study of the occurrence of groundwater in crystalline basement rocks. A review of the tectonic development of the region from available literature is presented together with the initial results of a remote sensing study using Landsat MSS imagery and aerial photographs, as well as reconnaissance fieldwork. The Zimbabwe craton has had a complex tectonic history involving several episodes of ductile to brittle deformation extending back well into the Archaean. From a groundwater viewpoint the brittle deformational events commencing in the Late Archaean at about the time of emplacement of the Younger Granites are considered to be of greatest importance. The fracture patterns noted from past geological mapping and evident on Landsat imagery provide clues to the tectonic history of the region but further field study will be needed to establish age relationships, which cannot be unequivocally decided from remote sensing data alone. Nevertheless, on the basis of available evidence, a possible model of the Late Archaean-Early Proterozoic tectonic development of the region is discussed. This report also considers the problems of using empirical tectonic models in the exploration for groundwater. A follow-up work programme is discussed. 1. INTRODUCTION The occurrence of groundwater in areas of crystalline basement in Africa and Asia can often be related to the presence of secondary porosity in the form of fractures (Dennis & Hindson 1964; Jordan 1968).
