NGOs react to lockdown extension The government’s stance to extend the lockdown is a noble idea as the COVID-19 threat is still very high. In order to curb the spread of this pandemic, it is important for the government to appreciate the role that Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) can play in awareness raising and offering the much needed humanitarian assistance. The work of NGOs should therefore be listed under essential services. Read more.

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.

The year, 2022, is a very special year for the National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO) family. For starters, it marks the 60th Anniversary year since the establishment of the Association. We take this as an opportunity to reflect and evaluate the journey that we have walked this far. No doubt, it has not been easy especially with the current Covid-19 pandemic coupled with the shrinking operating environment for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). Regardless of all this, the association remains committed to creating an enabling operating environment for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) within Zimbabwe. Thus, faced with the Private Voluntary Organisation (PVO) Amendment Bill, we will continuously engage with various stakeholders as we try to develop a common understanding and make sure NGOs can continue to operate without any obstacles that might hinder them from achieving their objectives and mandates. NGOs remain committed to complimenting government efforts as we contribute towards the achievement Agenda 2030, and successful implementation of the National Development Strategy 1.
