Accurate population maps are critical for macro and microeconomic planning based on the demographic compositions and profiles. Zimbabwe is currently undertaking the Housing and Population census led by the Zimbabwe Statistical Agencies in accordance with the Census and Statistics Act [Chapter 10:29]. The National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO) continues to lobby for the capacity enhancement of CSOs to collect, analyse and utilise population data at national and sub-national levels and, to integrate population issues in development planning. In preparation for this year’s census, ZimStats has recruited a total of 40 500 enumerators from across the country’s 10 provinces to conduct the 2022 population and housing census. It is of paramount importance for each one of us to be counted during this population and housing census since census data informs the formulation of policies and programmes both at the local and national levels. A census provides essential data about demographic, social, economic, and environmental characteristics of the population and housing which can be used for planning and policy formulation. Another importance of a population census is related to resource allocation as we fight inequalities by leaving no one and no place behind. As we build towards the 2023 general elections, the census process will inform the commencement of the delimitation exercise necessary in preparing for the upcoming elections.

Happy New Year to you all. It is our belief and hope that you rested, relaxed and managed to enjoy the festive holiday in preparation for yet another packed but promising year. We wish you all the success in whatever different thematic fields you are based in and the work you are doing in this new season. We welcome you to the new season with our first newsletter, Development Watch Volume 4, Issue 1. This is a continuation from our previous publications, Development Watch Volume 3, which ended on Issue 13. We hope we managed to satisfy everyone’s information hunger in the previous year with the various issues that our newsletter covered. We want to continue educating and informing you our members, colleagues and stakeholders so as to enhance your participation in national development processes. The newsletter also serves to share the different interventions being carried out in the community by both NANGO members and non-members as they continue to contribute towards sustainable development of the society. We are cognisant of the pandemic which is still among us and hence this issue continues to touch on Covid-19 related issues within the civil society and the country at large. The pandemic has and continues to detect our operations, our objectives and way of life. We continue to adapt to the new norm and, as usual reiterate for the need for strict adherence to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the government’s Covid-19 protocols and regulations by the general citizen. We also continue encouraging citizens to get vaccinated, and recommend for the government not to infringe the rights of the people in the COVID19 response measures and mechanisms.
