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.

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.

Quarantine in Zimbabwe: Experiences of a returning resident The situation of returning residents and other travellers who are in mandatory quarantine has been a topical issue in Zimbabwe. Social media has been awash with fake news, while various opinions have been passed as facts. As Zimbabwe gears up for the increased return of Zimbabweans from across the world, the discussion on the suitability of the government provided quarantine facilities needs to be explored broadly and multistakeholders brought to the table to ensure the safety of citizens. In this fourth volume of NANGO COVID-19 Realities Newsletter, we got in touch with one of the returning residents to hear his experience of quarantine. The NANGO Senior Communications and Visibility Officer (NANGO Infor) conducted an interview with Dr. Hillary Musarurwa (Dr. Musarurwa) who is currently under mandatory quarantine at ZIPAM.

Issue 3 – COVID-19 Realities Newsletter
The world is battling and agonising responding to an unprecedented global health crisis that has to a greater extent devastated the human, economic, social, political and infrastructural systems to alarming levels. Initially, COVID-19 presented a health crisis before it quickly pronounced more the social, economic, humanitarian, human capital, political, labour and governance crisis. Thus, what began as a health crisis has contributed towards the deepening of other facets of life through the spiral effects. Most of these aspects were already ailing before the outbreak of COVID-19. Click the link below for more details.

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.
