Development Watch Volume 3, Issue 2

AMID a growing drug problem that has been described as a silent epidemic sweeping across Zimbabwe’s townships, organisations helping youths have called upon the government to invest in rehabilitation centres to stem substance abuse. With 10 youths reportedly dying in Harare’s Mbare suburb from the use of crystal meth, popularly known as mutoriro in street lingo, the country risks losing a generation to drug abuse. Zimbabwe does not have public rehabilitation centres where drug users can be treated and reintegrated into society, while the available private institutions are beyond the reach of many poor families.

Development Watch Volume 3, Issue 1

Community's participation key to waste management Despite the existence of national and local legislations seeking to intensify the collective efforts of local authorities in the provision of solid waste management projects in the country, Zimbabwe remains less privileged on employing advanced technology on waste management. Observations around many urban centres or municipalities dotted around the country paints a gloomy picture of the status quo with regards to municipal practices in solid waste management. Population increase, urbanization and irregular expansions in municipal areas are some of the major factors exacerbating the negative environmental development, resulting in increases in the quantity of solid waste generated over the years. More so, the development is turning grave in all Urban dwellings and surrounding communities due to ever-growing levels of pollution. For these and more stories download the newsletter before.

Disability inclusion vital

NANGO held a multi-stakeholder Indaba on Understanding the Process and Implementation of the Africa Governance Architecture (AGA) and Africa Charter for Democracy, Election and Governance (ACDEG). As the indaba addressed a myriad of issues, leaders of organisations championing disability inclusion expressed concern at the exclusion of disability sector in governance and election processes. It was pointed out that as NANGO directs its focus towards the looming plebiscite, the umbrella body should ensure that all processes are accessible to people different disabilities. Zimbabwe Election Support Network was applauded for its efforts to push Zimbabwe Election Commission to package its information differently. There are concerns that the information must be in braille, audios youth friendly and citizen friendly. The indaba followed a meeting that was organised by SADC-CNGO and attended by NANGO members. CSOs were familiarised with the AGA and ACEDG frameworks and how they are relevant. NANGO places value in taking stock of progress in Zimbabwe building up an engagement strategy to influence domestication of the instruments by the government of Zimbabwe. Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) that attended the indaba concurred that there is need to develop a foundation of good governance and to translate the policy documents to local languages and make them understandable to every citizens. The NANGO National Youth Sector Chairperson and National Association of Youth Organizations Director, Misheck Gondo documented feedback as he had attended the conference from 14 – 16 March 2018 in Boksburg, South Africa.
