It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Volume 5, Issue 3 of the Development Watch Newsletter, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices, experiences, and innovations of Zimbabwe’s civil society sector. This edition comes at a time when our collective commitment to sustainable development, civic engagement, and inclusive governance continues to define the resilience and impact of our sector.
Over the past months, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) under the NANGO umbrella have continued to demonstrate remarkable leadership in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting human rights, and strengthening community resilience. From grassroots initiatives improving livelihoods and access to essential services, to national-level advocacy shaping policy reforms, CSOs remain at the forefront of driving people-centred development.

Welcome to the first edition of the NANGO Development Watch Newsletter for 2025 — a year that has begun with both promise and profound shifts in Zimbabwe’s civil society landscape. This issue comes at a critical time when the sector is adjusting to the realities of the Private Voluntary Organisations (PVO) Amendment Act, 2025, while also grappling with the recent funding cuts by the United States Government (USG), one of Zimbabwe’s long-standing development partners.
These developments mark a defining moment for the civil society sector. The reduction in donor support has far-reaching implications for programme sustainability, community outreach, and advocacy efforts, especially for local organisations that rely heavily on external funding. At the same time, the implementation of the PVO Amendment Act calls for greater adaptability and resilience as organisations re-evaluate their governance, accountability, and operational frameworks to align with the new legal environment. Together, these twin challenges demand strategic foresight, collaboration, and innovation
from all stakeholders within the civic space. Despite these challenges, we are encouraged by the determination of our members and partners who continue to champion human rights, social justice, and inclusive development even in constrained environments.

Welcome to the fourth edition of In Case You Missed It, NANGO's monthly magazine. Our goal is to keep you informed about the latest news, initiatives, and activities happening at the local, regional, and international levels within the Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) sector.
In our previous issue, the mentioned the PVO Amendment Bill, has been passed by both the National Assembly and Senate at the Parliament level on the February 1st, 2023 and is currently waiting for Presidential assent. The latest information we have gathered indicates that the PVO Amendment Bill is currently with the Attorney General’s office for clerical cleaning and formatting. We are hopeful and positive that CSOs concerns and recommendations will be considered for a better and enabling instrument.
In this issue, we reflect on the major developmental issues that you may have missed in the month of April, which are key in profiling the work, initiatives, and impact that diverse CSOs are making. This issue is also an instrument to share success stories, best practices, and emerging issues in the NGO development discourse.

Welcome to the latest issue of our magazine, brought to you by the National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO). We are thrilled to bring you the latest news, views, and insights from the world of local, regional, and international development within the Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) sector.
As mentioned in our previous issue, the PVO Amendment Bill has been passed by both the National Assembly and Senate at the Parliament level on the 1st of February 2023 and is currently waiting for Presidential assent. However, an analysis of the Bill by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) has revealed that if passed into law in its current form, there will be various restrictions and threats that will compromise the independence and autonomy of the sector. The proposed PVO Amendment Bill clauses give the Government greater control over CSOs’ activities and grant discretionary power to the government over the operations of CSOs. As CSOs, we continue to engage the government to reconsider the Bill in good faith for the benefit of the country. We hope that the President will consider recommendations made by CSOs.
In this issue, we reflect on the major developmental issues that you may have missed in the month of March, which are of great importance to the NGO community. Our contributors offer their perspectives on various important topics, sharing their experiences, insights, and recommendations for the future
