ZIMBABWE HUMANITARIAN GAPS MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
I. Executive Summary
Zimbabwe continued making steady progress towards recovery and development since the
launch of the 2013 humanitarian appeal. On the political front, the holding of a successful
referendum ushered in a new Constitution in May. This was followed by peaceful elections in July
marking the end of the Government of National Unity (GNU) that had been in place since
February 2009, and introducing a new Government led by the Zimbabwe Africa National Union
Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF).
Progress was also recorded over the last six months on the policy front with the launch of the
Food and Nutrition Security Policy in May. This policy aims at promoting and ensuring adequate
food and nutrition security. Similarly, the ongoing Zimbabwe United Nations Development
Assistance Framework (ZUNDAF) mid-year review indicated that progress towards meeting the
ZUNDAF objectives is largely on track.
Alongside political, recovery and development activities, humanitarian partners continued to
complement Government efforts in response to the remaining needs. The main humanitarian
response was to food insecurity mainly caused by drought, the impact of which is more
pronounced in the southern parts of the country. During this period, over 1.4 million people were
provided with food assistance through joint efforts of the government and humanitarian partners.
Sporadic outbreaks of water borne diseases were also addressed through joint efforts between
the Government and humanitarian partners. In addition, vulnerable groups such as the
chronically ill, returned migrants, asylum seekers and those affected by floods and storms were
assisted. At the same time, recovery and development partners continued implementing medium
to long term programs to address chronic needs persisting in Zimbabwe.
Against this background, the Government and the humanitarian community have agreed that the
broad strategic objectives set at the beginning of the year are still relevant. The humanitarian
community will therefore maintain a minimum coordinated response capacity in the Food, Health,
WASH and Protection clusters for the rest of the year. At the same time, humanitarian partners
will continue strengthening the capacity of the Government to respond to ongoing and future
emergencies. According to the findings of the Zimbabwe Vulnerability Committee (ZimVAC) Rural
Livelihoods Assessment, 2.2 million people will need food assistance at the peak of the
2013/2014 lean season. This group will therefore remain the main priority for humanitarian
support for the remaining part of the year. Response to disease outbreaks, natural disasters and
the remaining needs of asylum seekers and migrants will also continue to be addressed through
the humanitarian framework.
After analysis of recent needs assessments, this Mid-Year Review identified no change in
financial requirements for all Clusters except for Food and Health. This appeal’s revised
requirements amount to US$147,275,808 an increase of 12% from the original requirements. The
funding so far received is US$90 million, leaving unmet requirements of US$57,275,808. It is
anticipated that this will be the last coordinated humanitarian appeal for Zimbabwe.

ZIMBABWE HUMANITARIAN GAPS MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
III. Analysis of funding to date
Overall funding remained uneven during the first half of the year. While the Financial Tracking
Service (FTS) continuously indicated impressive overall funding levels in terms of percentage (66
per cent at the time of review), over 75 per cent of the funds ($66 million) were carried over from
2012. New funding in 2013 was slightly over $21 million. The bulk of the funds received during
the 2012/13 cycle was for Food, while the Health (except for child survival and nutrition programs)
and Protection clusters remained largely underfunded. Due to this underfunding, certain activities
like the operationalisation of the National Health Emergency Operations Centre could not be
realized. The overall appeal funding at the point of review stood at US$90 million compared to the
US$115 million during the same period last year. While the only NGO project in the appeal was
100 per cent funded, all the other projects which were funded at varying levels originated from UN
agencies. Donors worked very closely with the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) in the
allocation of funds to priority projects, with the allocations being generally aligned to the needs as
identified by the HCT. The allocation of funds was generally done across the board without any
specific reference to the gender marker codes.
Close coordination between OCHA Zimbabwe and the OCHA CAP section in Geneva
substantially contributed to a reduction in the reported funding outside the appeal. Projects
currently funded outside the appeal as contained in table H are largely those with both
humanitarian and recovery elements which did not meet the strict criteria put in place by the HCT
for inclusion in the appeal. Other contributions that remain outside the appeal include bilateral
government to government contributions and un-earmarked funds from humanitarian donors that
will be allocated later in the year once details are available.
Zimbabwe did not benefit from any Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) allocations
during the first half of 2013. The funding levels of the Emergency Response Fund (ERF)
remained adequate. ERF funds were used to fill underfunded gaps in response to the malaria
outbreak and the impact of storms.
IV. Update in Humanitarian Context and Needs
No major economic changes with implications on the humanitarian situation occurred during the
first half of the year. On the political front, the constitutional reform process that led to a
successful referendum and promulgation of a new constitution was completed. This was followed
by peaceful, harmonised elections in July, which marked the end of the Government of National
Unity (GNU) that had been in place since 2009 and ushered in a new Government led by ZANUPF.
Prolonged dry spells and erratic rainfall patterns however largely affected agricultural production.
According to the results of the Zimbabwe Vulnerability Committee Assessment (ZimVAC)
appraisal, 25 per cent of rural households are projected to be food insecure at the peak of the
2013/2014 agricultural season. This is a 32 per cent increase in food insecure people compared
to the last season and represents 2.2 million people at peak hunger season not being able to
meet their annual food requirements. Consequently, humanitarian support to food insecure
people will need to be stepped up during the remaining part of the year. There are no projected
changes in needs for the affected people in the WASH, Protection or Health clusters.

ZIMBABWE HUMANITARIAN GAPS MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
V. Progress towards Strategic Objectives
The Government and the humanitarian partners have agreed that the strategy set at the
beginning of the year is still relevant and does not need to be altered. The humanitarian
community will therefore continue to respond to the identified needs under two broad strategic
objectives listed below. Indicators and targets are clearly spelt out under the various cluster
response plans:
Strategic objective 1: To maintain a minimum and coordinated response capacity in the Food,
Health, Protection and WASH Clusters to address the most urgent residual humanitarian needs in
the country which need resolution in 2013, and for which organisations have the capacity to
respond.
Strategic objective 2: To assist in strengthening Government and other local capacity to
coordinate, prepare for and respond to ongoing and future emergency situations.

previous food assistance program
was the successful collaboration and partnership with the Government of Zimbabwe, through the
joint program to distribute cereals from the Government’s Strategic Grain Reserve together with
pulses and vegetable oil as part of the Seasonal Targeted Assistance (STA) program. The
program was unique and the Government’s contribution significantly reduced the cereal
commodity cost that normally would have been purchased using donor funds only, while reducing
transport costs to deliver that commodity from the region. At the peak of the last hunger season
between January and March 2013, about 1.67 million rural Zimbabweans were food insecure, a
60 per cent increase from the one million people in need of assistance during the same time in
2011. Approximately 1,500,000 people in 38 rural districts were reached with assistance. Of
these some 250,000 beneficiaries received cash as an alternative to assistance in kind to enable
them to buy cereals from local markets. This form of assistance was successfully increased in the
period under review, given the heightened levels of food insecurity, and availability of cereals in
the targeted districts.
Since it was the first time the Government had worked with WFP in such close partnership, the
program established and enriched the collaborative relationship between the Government of
Zimbabwe and WFP.
However, Zimbabwe’s current food security situation is deteriorating and is the worst since 2009.
The Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) rural livelihoods assessment
estimates that 2.2 million people – one quarter of the rural population – will need food assistance
in the pre-harvest period between January and March 2014, a 32 percent increase from the 1.6
million who required it last year. This is more than the projected number of food insecure people
and a major increase from last year.

ZIMBABWE HUMANITARIAN GAPS MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
Although the 2013 national food balance sheet has not yet been released, Zimbabwe’s
agricultural sector has not experienced significant recovery and continues to underperform. Poor
rainfall season quality, characterised by a late start of rains then heavy rainfall in January (with
some flooding), followed by a prolonged dry spell, reduced production of major crops in 2012/13.
Consequently Zimbabwe had a poor harvest compared to that of last season which was
estimated to be below 1 million MT, leaving the country with a large food deficit since this is far
below the country’s requirement of 2.1 million MT. Last year, Zimbabwe’s cereal production was
1,076,772 MT which was 33 percent lower than the 2010/2011 figure of 1,607,711 MT.
Although the previous STA program was well resourced towards the end of the cycle, it faced
resource challenges at its onset in September 2012, with most of the resources received during
the third quarter of 2012. This resulted in half rations of cereals being distributed in October due
to late commodity delivery. Resources are urgently required to avoid a similar situation recurring
in 2013, as the amount carried over from 2012 was already utilised as part of the previous STA
season between January and March 2013. This reinforces the importance of ensuring a solid
pipeline at the onset of a program.
Changes in the response plan
Increased food insecurity levels this year resulted in major changes in the cluster’s response
plan. The food insecurity situation for the 2013/2014 consumption year is the worst experienced
in the last five years. During the peak ‘hunger period,’ traditionally between January and March
when the next harvest is expected, a quarter of the rural population - 2.2 million people - will need
food assistance. During the same period last season, 1.6 million people were in need, so this
year the figure has risen by 32 percent. According to the ZimVAC reports, the percentages of
food insecure rural population in the past three years are as follows: 19 percent (2012- 2013), 12
percent (2011-2012), 15 percent (2010-2011), highlighting the severity of the food insecurity this
year. Poor rainfall distribution affected the traditional cereal surplus districts. There were latestarting rains, then flooding in some areas, with insufficient or expensive inputs such as fertiliser
compounding the situation. Furthermore, there was a reduction in the area planted with maize.
Cluster partners are preparing to assist some 1.8 million of the 2.2 million seasonally food
insecure people in 43 severely affected districts where the percentage of food insecure
population is 15% or more. The remaining 400,000 people are scattered in other districts that
might have relatively better opportunities for coping mechanism. Unlike last year when other
actors augmented WFP’s STA activity, it appears the WFP’s seasonal targeted assistance
program will be the only assistance scheme for vulnerable households. Also, it is not certain
whether the Government of Zimbabwe will be in a position to contribute cereals towards this
program as it did for the 2012/13 season. This contribution significantly reduced the cereal
commodity cost that normally would have been purchased using donor funds, while reducing
transport costs to deliver that commodity from the region. In June 2013, the Government of
Zimbabwe formally requested food assistance from the international community through the UN
Humanitarian Coordinator. However, negotiations with the Government are in progress with a
view to encourage another round of contributions as this year’s response program (Seasonal
Targeted Assistance) will be implemented on a larger scale than last year.

promotion support as Environmental Health Alliance (EHA) partners responded to 25 WASH related emergencies between
September 2012 and June 2013. Alerts responded to include typhoid, diarrheal disease and
suspected cholera outbreaks, as well as floods in 12 rural districts and six urban localities in six
provinces. Typhoid cases spilled into 2013 together with the high levels of diarrhea within the first
half of the year pointing to some inadequacies within the provision of water, sanitation and
hygiene promotion services. Clinical WASH services to support response are generally
appropriate with round 15 of the Vital Medicines and Health Services (VMAHS) survey showing
that there has been an improvement in the availability of water onsite in public facilities from 60%
of the facilities during Round 2 (May to August 2009) to about 84% of the facilities during Round
15 (January to March 2013).The response to WASH related emergencies ranged from
participatory health and hygiene education targeting affected men, women and children in
schools, hygiene non-food item distribution, borehole drilling, rehabilitation and sewer unblocking.
While cluster funding stands at 72% of US$3,600,000, there was an over-reliance on one donor
for most of the emergency work in the WASH response.
In order to strengthen stakeholder Disaster Risk Management (DRM) capacity all 25 emergency
assessments were conducted jointly with health partners, municipal health or Ministry of Health
and Child Welfare as well as Department of Civil Protection (DCP) officials. All WASH partners
collaborated with the Provincial Water and Sanitation Sub-committees (PWSSC) in facilitating
provincial monthly WASH meetings. The WASH response to the affected women, men and
children included the distribution of hygiene non-food items. DCP, UNICEF and OCHA conducted
follow up visits to affected areas with one of the recommendations being to support Matobo
district on standardised multi-sector assessments and DRM training. Extremely poor hydrological
conditions particularly in Bulawayo, Matabeleland North and South provinces have been reported
by municipalities and partners encountering problems in borehole drilling. The impact of these
interventions on water utilisation is yet to be documented.
Remaining needs are largely for additional supplies and equipment to support emergency WASH
services to affected women, men and children. Progress on activities and expenditure on the
WASH cluster Environmental Health Alliance (EHA) project addressing WASH related emergency
needs and building resilience and capacity to respond to outbreaks across Zimbabwe is
illustrated in the next page.

incidence pointed to unmet WASH
and other health needs. In nutrition, rapid surveys in November 2012 (baseline) and February
2013 showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of acute
malnutrition across all 10 high risk livelihood zones between November 2012 and February 2013.
ZiMVAC results indicate that a significant proportion of households in Zimbabwe are facing
transient (for the lean season of October 2013 to March 2014) food insecurity; with a deteriorating
trend. The effect of such periodic food insecurity on nutritional status of young children has been
explored during the lean season of 2012 – 2013 through a pre and post national status survey in
worst affected regions. The result of the survey revealed the prevalence of acute malnutrition
remained below national threshold (7 per cent) with no significant difference before and after the
lean period. Furthermore, ZIMVAC 2013, conducted in April shows similar levels of acute
malnutrition for all sampled rural districts with a national average (rural) of 3.4% with the highest
being recorded in Mashonaland West province (GAM of 5.6% ). While the acute malnutrition at
11
ZIMBABWE HUMANITARIAN GAPS MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
this point of time is not alarming, it is appreciated that the community at large has been exposed
to repeated shocks and remain vulnerable. Broader recovery programming in Health, Nutrition,
WASH and social welfare play a great role to protect nutritional status of children in Zimbabwe
and thereby contribute to the resilience of the population.
The cluster continued to respond to the ongoing typhoid outbreaks in Harare and Chitungwiza as
well as isolated cholera outbreaks in Chiredzi and Beitbridge. The malaria outbreak in Manicaland
province presented a major challenge and two cluster partners mobilized resources and
responded with the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare in supporting case management,
surveillance, health education, and prevention.
Note that there was limited progress with the original three health project due to funding
constraints. The malaria outbreak, especially in Manicaland but also elsewhere, presented
additional response needs to the cluster. While the malaria outbreak has now ended, other
humanitarian needs in the second half of the year will remain largely the same as at the
beginning of the year. The continued non-operationalization of the National Health Emergency
Operations Centre, largely due to staff shortages, still needs to be addressed in the remaining
period of this appeal and beyond.
In nutrition, the Government of Zimbabwe adopted CMAM as its primary strategy for managing
acute malnutrition. All health facilities are expected to provide routine treatment services for both
complicated and uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM), that involves inpatient
treatment for complicated and outpatient for those with no complications. About 78 per cent of
facilities are currently providing CMAM services and almost all of them have been supplied with
RUTF through integration with the Harmonised Distribution for Essential Drugs and Medicines. An
estimated 33,000 children under 5 are targeted for treatment for SAM.
The resuscitation/establishment of the National Nutrition Working Group, and the launch of the
Food and Nutrition Security Policy, that considers humanitarian response under one of the
commitments, were significant milestones. Under this commitment, plans are underway to
resuscitate the Nutrition Surveillance sub-committee in the last half of the year with the overall
objective of strengthening the Nutrition Surveillance system and contribute to the strengthening of
nutrition surveillance and research, and ultimately to improved programming for nutrition activities
in Zimbabwe. Commitment VII of the policy focuses on capacity strengthening of provincial and
district level structures called Food and Nutrition Security Committees, which will be responsible
for coordination, surveillance, monitoring and evaluation of food and nutrition security activities.
To date 40 per cent of the districts and eight provinces have established Food and Nutrition
Security Committees. In addition to strengthening multi-sector policy implementation structures,
a National Nutrition strategy is being developed under Commitment V of the Policy, which will
focus on expansion of key high impact nutrition interventions, supported by the Health Transition
Fund (HTF).
Changes in the response plan
No major changes either to the context or needs is anticipated for the remaining part of the year.
One project on improving child survival through the prevention of infectious diseases was added
to the Health cluster, while the initial IOM drought nutrition project was replaced by UNICEF’s
2013 nutrition project.

450 unaccompanied minors (231 boys and 219 girls) were assisted at reception facilities. A total
of 1,592 (189 women) stranded third country nationals received assistance. Routine monitoring
data collected from unaccompanied minors passing through the Beitbridge reception centre
shows that the push factors that force children into irregular migration remain unaddressed in the
major migrant sending districts. The return of migrants from South Africa and Botswana has seen
a decline of 12.6% during the first eight months of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.
However, this decline is not commensurate with the gap in funding for the reception centers
which have only received 15% funding for the period.
A total of 1,234 civil status documents have been acquired by persons of concern. This has had a
positive impact on the lives of beneficiaries who would otherwise be considered de facto
stateless, especially children who would have failed to sit for examinations at the end of the year
because of not having birth certificates. The number of beneficiaries assisted was however lower
than anticipated as the schedule for documentation assistance activities had to be adjusted to the
voter registration that was being conducted by the Registry General’s office.
The operating environment was peaceful and access to the target population was availed and all
CBPs were conducted as planned despite anticipation of elections. No major changes were noted
during the implementation period in most districts. The target population has not changed during
the period under review.
A major challenge was the limited number of organizations involved in emergency assistance.
It was also observed that emergency assistance stocks and funding was limited in comparison
with the magnitude of the emergencies. This resulted in delays in emergency response to the
affected individuals.
Changes in the response plan
No major changes either to the context or needs is anticipated for the remaining part of the year.

CLUSTER OBJECTIVE 1: SAVE LIVES AND PROTECT THE LIVELIHOODS OF HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE
MOST AFFECTED BY SEASONAL AND TRANSITORY FOOD SHORTAGES IN AFFECTED AREAS
Output: food and NFIs including cash and/or vouchers distributed in sufficient quantity and quality to
targeted women, men, girls and boys under secure conditions
PROGRESS AS OF MID-YEAR :
The combination of food and non–food items such as cash was successfully implemented. Food insecure
households receiving a combination of cash and in-kind support under the seasonal targeted assistance
program were able to purchase cereals and other foods which resulted in improved dietary diversity.
However, overall projected commodity turnover and planned tonnage distributed although high, was onepercent short of the target due to half cereal rations being distributed in one of the assistance months.

PROGRESS AS OF MID-YEAR :
Anthropometric measurements for clients on the Health and Nutrition program were collected on a
monthly basis and nutrition recovery rates computed for clients who completed six-months during the
first quarter of 2013. The indicator is computed from ‘the number of patients who started food assistance
at body mass index below 18.5 and have attained body mass index greater than 18.5 in two consecutive
measures. While the target was 80%, results show that the achievement was 52% which is below the
SPHERE and national standard of 80%. The low nutritional recovery rates were in part due to diarrhea
outbreaks reported in the first quarter of the year during the rainy season. Monitoring during the period
established that 20% of sampled clients suffered diarrhea and in addition opportunistic infections such as
respiratory diseases.

CLUSTER OBJECTIVE 3: STRENGTHEN GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY CAPACITY TO MANAGE AND
IMPLEMENT HUNGER REDUCTION APPROACHES
PROGRESS AS OF MID-YEAR :
The joint food program with Government was successfully done. However, the poor 2012 agricultural
season limited partners' local purchasing capacity. This, coupled with delayed availability of resources
from donors and consequent late commodity delivery, negatively affected the project pipeline at the start
of the STA. As a consequence, half rations of cereal were distributed in one month, affecting the overall
projected commodity turnover.

PROGRESS AS OF MID-YEAR :
A total of 25 WASH emergencies were assessed in the review period. The emergencies included typhoid,
diarrheal disease and suspected cholera outbreaks as well as floods in 12 rural setting and six urban
localities in six provinces. The mean response time for agencies is 26.33 hours. Thirteen of the 25
emergencies required hygiene non-food item (NFI) distribution. All partners managed to initiate

PROGRESS AS OF MID-YEAR :
Training in DRR at district and Local authority level was completed in three towns and two rural districts.
The training culminated into DRR plans that have been integrated into the local authority development
plans. In the two rural districts, training on DRR was also done in five targeted high risk wards.
The remaining local authorities are in the process of developing the DRR plans with assistance from
15
ZIMBABWE HUMANITARIAN GAPS MID-YEAR REVIEW 2013
consultants and partners. As part of the DRR plan, early warning systems and resourced Emergency
Preparedness and Response (EPR) plans have been put in place. The local authorities also put in place
committees to oversee and monitor progress on plans. In the rural settings, the concept of establishing
early warning systems was also adopted by farmers on farming issues. During the training in DRR, the
local authorities received input in Sphere standards as one SOP that can be followed during the response
to emergencies. These have been adopted in all the 3 towns and rural district councils.

MALNUTRITION, DISEASE OUTBREAKS AND OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCIES IN 2013
Output 1: strengthened capacity for early warning and early detection of acute malnutrition, disease
outbreaks and other public health emergencies.
PROGRESS AS OF MID-YEAR :
Because of the malaria outbreak in Manicaland and flood response in Matabeleland South, the number of
districts needing support increased beyond the three originally targeted. Most of the achievements reflect
work done in the additional districts and not those originally targeted. Cluster partners supported the
IDSR trainings in Manicaland, Mashonaland West and Masvingo provinces. Both district and ward level
EPR plans were developed. In Manicaland, laboratory capacity building training and the training of 537
health staff in 6 districts on malaria outbreak response was carried out. Performance of the surveillance
system continued to improve in all provinces largely through separate funding directly to the MoHCW.

The malaria outbreak in Manicaland province presented a challenge in providing a timely response
because of the absence of IDSR training and calculated malaria outbreak thresholds. However, response
for all other outbreaks was within recommended time limits. Other emergencies responded to were the
floods in January and February when mobile clinics were provided to affected communities. The
achievements, as in output 1, were largely due to support for the malaria outbreak response including
malaria case management.

PROTECTION SHOCKS
Output: support provided for authorities, communities and other stakeholders in preparedness
and response
PROGRESS AS OF MID-YEAR:
IOM with collaboration with UNICEF, JICA, OCHA, EHA and the Zimbabwe Red Cross, has assisted
20,120 individuals (12,672 females and 7,448 male) affected by floods, hailstorms and wind storms since
January 2013 in 15 districts of Zimbabwe. After the hailstorm response, 15 post assistance monitoring
missions were conducted and it was observed that there was no linkage between emergency assistance
and early recovery interventions. Psychosocial support was noted as a missing component in all the
affected areas. The areas affected were not traditional disaster sites that were targeted during pre-season
awareness campaign and the nature of the hazard was new hence the communities were not prepared.
Early warning mechanisms were not effective and most communities were caught by surprise. A Disaster
Risk Reduction sensitization workshop was convened by IOM and Christian Care in Plumtree targeting
stakeholders in Bulilima and Mangwe districts and Plumtree Town Council. The session focused on
disaster risk management, hazard capacity and vulnerability analysis, disaster causation chain, disaster
preparedness framework and the local and international institutional arrangements for DRR.
Stakeholders came up with key action points for DRR in their respective districts as outcomes for the
workshop. Hazards like hail storms have resulted in disasters in Mangwe district and revealed its lack of
capacity and resilience to cope.

SHOCKS
Output: provision of sustainable protection solutions for identified beneficiaries
PROGRESS AS OF MID-YEAR:
In May 2013, Zimbabwe's House of Assembly ratified the African Union Convention on Protection and
Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons in Africa (also known as the Kampala Convention). The
subsequent enactment of enabling legislation will strengthen IDP protection in the country. Two training
workshops for duty bearers were conducted targeting 45 people (28 males and 17 females) from Mwenezi
and Chiredzi districts. The training focused on improving the quality of protection and assistance,
services and referral mechanisms for children on the move and/or at risk of irregular migration in their
districts of origin. Both districts came up with action plans and recommendations which will enable them
to support this group of children in their respective districts. Two Cross Border Coordination Working
Group Meetings for South Africa and Zimbabwe state and non-state actors working with children on the
move were held in Musina and Beitbridge during the reporting period. Eight CBP exercises undertaken
with local authorities, covering 6,086 IDP households. Eight Ward Development Plans were completed
and presented to the RDC for adoption. Offer letters have been given in two displacement affected wards
in Chiredzi, including the 316 IDP households in these wards. 509 mobile vulnerable out of school young
people received vocational training.

Outputs: humanitarian and protection needs of vulnerable migrants are fully addressed.
Migration management stakeholders have improved capacity for migration-related disaster risk reduction
and addressing needs of migrants
PROGRESS AS OF MID-YEAR:
Four Cross border Migration Management Forums were held. Returnees from Botswana and South Africa
- 91 cases (69 male and 22 Female) had protection concerns addressed; 13,709 (11,271 Male;2,438
Female) opted for transport back to their homes in Zimbabwe while 7,897 (5,417 Male; 2,480 female) were
assessed for health-related concerns. Six females reported GBV incidents and were all attended to. The
majority of Third Country Nationals (TCN) were from Ethiopia (57%) and DRC (40%). A total of 1,592
(1,403 Male; 189 Female) TCNS were provided with assistance. This included 44 unaccompanied minors
(36 girls; 8 boys). All TCNS were provided with transport to Tongongara Refugee Camp. It is anticipated
that with the proposed changes in South African Immigration Law, more Zimbabweans without valid
documentation will be returned home. The political atmosphere in the DRC will necessitate increased
flows of TCNs southward as has already been seen in the months of May and June.

VII. Forward View
Will there be a humanitarian appeal in 2014? No
Transition of four clusters to national coordination mechanisms:
As per the decision of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) and building on previous transition
discussions and planning documents, OCHA and the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office (RCO)
met with the four remaining clusters (Food, Health, WASH, and Protection) to review the status of
the 2013 humanitarian strategic objectives, in order to determine the most appropriate
coordination mechanism beyond 2013. A detailed planning document is being developed and will
be presented to the HCT and UNCT for further discussion and decision.
During the consultations, clusters highlighted that some residual humanitarian needs and risks
remain. These needs are however largely chronic in nature rather than the result of an acute
humanitarian crisis.
Clusters agreed that the current context in Zimbabwe no longer warrants a continuation of the
clusters, a view shared by Government counterparts. More detailed discussions with key
stakeholders are needed but overall, cluster leads propose the creation of working groups that
build on existing structures led by national authorities and supported by partners. Terms of
Reference for the evolving national co-ordination mechanism are being developed by national
authorities supported by closing cluster leads.
Clusters emphasized the importance of a continued role of Lead UN Agencies in supporting
emerging national structures and local NGOs in terms of coordination, capacity building, and
funding. Given the continued risk for sudden onset disasters and increases in needs, sufficient
resources/capacities for preparedness and rapid response of the UN family and partners should
be embedded within longer term programs and planning frameworks such as the ZUNDAF. As
such, adequate indicators should be integrated in the ZUNDAF M&E Framework. There is a
particular need to ensure adequate early warning / early action in response to public health
outbreaks and to actively resuscitate a strong lead of the Ministry of Health and its National Heath
Emergency Operations Centre (NHEOC).
It is essential that the needs of vulnerable groups be addressed through poverty reduction and
social protection programs addressing root causes of displacement and providing durable
solutions. Strengthening and building resilience of communities also needs to be re-affirmed as a
central priority within development planning.
Although much progress has been made over the past year, national emergency preparedness
and response capacities remain weak. Due to the large number of key players active at different
levels, more clarity is needed in terms of national mandates, coordination, resources, and
logistical capacities. At the sub-national level, there is a need to further rationalize coordination
systems to avoid overlaps. As the transition goes ahead, it is important to revive the momentum
for the Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Bill, Policy and Strategy so as to have clarity on the
national DRM framework and to further strengthen capacities of the Department of Civil
Protection (DCP) in contingency planning, emergency response and multi-sector coordination.
