  • Crop Area, Condition and Stage
    Foreword The Government of Zimbabwe has continued to exhibit its commitment for reducing food and nutrition insecurity in Zimbabwe. Evidence include the culmination of ZimASSET’s Food and Nutrition Security Cluster and the multi-sector Food and Nutrition Security Policy (FNSP). Recognising the vagaries of climate variabilities and the unforeseeable potential livelihood challenges, Government put in place structures whose mandates are, among other things to provide early warning information for early actioning. The Food and Nutrition Council, through the ZimVAC, is one of such structures which strives to fulfil the aspirations of the FNSP’s commitment number 6 of providing food and nutrition early warning information. In response to the advent of the El Nino phenomena which has resulted in the country experiencing long dry spells, the ZimVAC undertook a rapid assessment focussing on updating the ZimVAC May 2015 results. The lean season monitoring focused on the relevant food and nutrition security parameters. The process followed a 3 pronged approach which were, a review of existing food and nutrition secondary data, qualitative district Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and for other variables a quantitative household survey which in most cases are representative at provincial and national level. This report provides a summation of the results for the 3 processes undertaken and focuses on the following thematic areas: the rainfall season quality, 2015/16 agricultural assistance, crop and livestock condition, food and livestock markets, gender based violence, household income sources and livelihoods strategies, domestic and production water situation, health and nutrition, food assistance and a review of the rural food security projections.

ABSTRACT STRATEGIC CHURCH PLANTING IN THE CENTRAL ZIMBABWE CONFERENCE: TOWARDS A PARADIGM SHIFT IN CHURCH GROWTH by Nkosiyabo Zvandasara Adviser: Douglas Kilcher ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: STRATEGIC CHURCH PLANTING IN THE CENTRAL ZIMBABWE CONFERENCE: TOWARDS A PARADIGM SHIFT IN CHURCH GROWTH Name of researcher: Nkosiyabo Zvandasara Name and degree of faculty adviser: Douglas Kilcher, D .Min. Date completed: July 1998 Problem This dissertation focuses on church planting in the Central Zimbabwe Conference. While impressive results have been achieved in evangelizing the lower classes of the society, there has been meager success in reaching the upper classes of the Black community as well as the White, the Indian, and the Colored minorities. A strategic church-planting approach to church growth hopes to not only target the least promising population segments served by the Central Zimbabwe Conference, but also to increase the effectiveness of the other church methods currently being employed to reach the more responsive classes in that conference.

  • A Biographical Study of Bishop Ralph Edward Dodge 1907 – 2008
    ABSTRACT Toward a New Church in a New Africa: A Biographical Study of Bishop Ralph Edward Dodge 1907 – 2008 This biography of a Methodist Bishop, Ralph Edward Dodge is an extensive look into how, as a missionary, mission board executive, and bishop, Dodge applied principles of indigenization he embraced as a young man preparing for missionary work to the complexities of ministry in Southern Africa when empires were withdrawing and new nations were forming. Written by an African, the dissertation examines Dodge’s impact upon the several countries in which he was involved as a churchman ‒ countries that would soon move from imperial subjugation to independence. Ralph Edward Dodge (1907–2008) was an American missionary and Bishop of the Methodist Church and United Methodist Church. He was born in Iowa and went to Africa in 1936 at age 29. He began his missionary career in the Portuguese colony of Angola. Except for four years during World War II, he would serve there until 1950. During the war, he continued his postgraduate work, obtaining two more degrees, including a PhD. Afterwards, Dodge and his family returned to Africa. In 1950, he was asked to serve as Executive Secretary for Africa and Europe at the Methodist Church’s Board of Missions in New York. Six years later, the Reverend Doctor Dodge would return to Africa as Bishop Dodge, the first Methodist Bishop elected by the Africa Central Conference, and the only American. His Episcopal Area included the colonial territories of Angola, Mozambique, and Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). When his twelve-year term was ended, he was elected “Bishop for Life.” Bishop Dodge remained in Africa until his “retirement” in 1968.
