This includes whether claims are likely to justify the granting of asylum, humanitarian protection or discretionary leave and whether – in the event of a claim being refused – it is likely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under s94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. Decision makers must consider claims on an individual basis, taking into account the case specific facts and all relevant evidence, including: the policy guidance contained with this note; the available COI; any applicable caselaw; and the Home Office casework guidance in relation to relevant policies. Country Information The COI within this note has been compiled from a wide range of external information sources (usually) published in English. Consideration has been given to the relevance, reliability, accuracy, objectivity, currency, transparency and traceability of the information and wherever possible attempts have been made to corroborate the information used across independent sources, to ensure accuracy. All sources cited have been referenced in footnotes. It has been researched and presented with reference to the Common EU [European Union] Guidelines for Processing Country of Origin Information (COI), dated April 2008, and the European Asylum Support Office’s research guidelines, Country of Origin Information report methodology, dated July 2012. Feedback Our goal is to continuously improve our material. Therefore, if you would like to comment on this note, please email the Country Policy and Information Team.

  • Zim Women's Movement Text
    A note about the title. ,Q=LPEDEZH¶&KLPXUHQJD·LVFRPPRQO\DVVRFLDWHGZLWKWKHÀUVWchimurenga, the struggle of the Ndebele and the Shona against colonisation in the late 1800s and the second chimurenga the nationalist liberation war waged in the 1960s and 1970s against white minority rule in Rhodesia. The word, as is depicted by these eras speaks to a revolutionary struggle; or popular protest against a set of ideologies, systems and circumstances. The title of this book She-murenga is an attempt to extend and reclaim the word from its dominant meanings. It captures the spirit of struggle against oppressive forces be it for independence, democracy, gender equality, eco- nomic justice and ultimately in the context of this book making visible Zim- babwean women’s struggles for rights, equality and lives free from violence. Note: As Fungai Muchirori points out in a conversation in June 2011, the Ndebele equivalent, ‘Umvukela Wokuqala’, is little quoted in historical and contemporary literature, thus situating this revolutionary concept within Sho- na language, and I dare add, a predominantly Shona history.

  • 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.
