The Sustainable Development Goals in Zimbabwe
The 2016 – 2021 Zimbabwe United Nations Development Assistance Framework (ZUNDAF), co-chaired by Government and the United Nations, is the strategic document via which UN Entities channel their support to the achievement of the SDGs in Zimbabwe.
The ZUNDAF, which comprises six result areas and fifteen outcomes is fully aligned to the SDGs. The six result areas are: Social Services and Protection; Poverty Reduction and Value Addition; Food and Nutrition; Gender Equality; HIV and AIDS; and Public Administration and Governance.
The United Nations in Zimbabwe also supports Government to conduct regular monitoring and reporting on progress towards the SDGs at national and sub-national levels.
In addition, the United Nations regularly facilitates national and local consultations and advocacy campaigns in partnership with the Office of the President and Cabinet, Government Ministries, Parliament, Development Partners, Private Sector, Civil Society Organizations, Youth Group, Media, and the Public on mainstreaming and implementation of the SDGs.

Youth participation, engagement in building democratic resilience
*By Åsa Pehrson and Maria Ribeiro
Six years ago, 193 UN Member States rolled up their sleeves to adopt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Agenda’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global call to action to end poverty, inequality and to tackle climate change, while ensuring no one is left behind.
Although 2030 seems distant, it is less than a decade or only two electoral cycles away in many countries.
On the occasion of this year’s International Day of Democracy in Zimbabwe, the United Nations and the Embassy of Sweden have elected to commemorate Youth for Democratic Resilience. On this occasion, we call on national and local leaders to create opportunities for the youth to meaningfully participate in decision making and ensure their ownership of the SDGs, and to be part of shaping their future in Zimbabwe. With its largely youthful population, Zimbabwe could benefit from a demographic dividend though a combination of strategic investments and the adoption of supportive policy environment. Closing the gap between youth and their leaders is critical to strengthening the resilience of democratic institutions.
Achieving a robust Human Development trajectory requires an equitable and democratic development agenda that guarantees higher standards of education, nutrition, sexual and reproductive health services, health for all and a green growth strategy that balances the management of natural resources with demands of development imperatives.
Therefore, if development entails the improvement in people’s standard of living – their incomes, health outcomes, education levels, and general wellbeing – and if it also encompasses their self-esteem, respect, dignity, and freedom to choose, then the country must concentrate on addressing the underlying social, economic, and political conditions related to improving the participation of youth in democratic resilience.
Some strategies have shown to be essential in this context:
First, children and the youth participation in political discourse and democratic processes, including in multilateral fora. Many of youth in Zimbabwe have already been engaging with the United Nations and bilateral donors, including Sweden at youth-focused events, through model UN, climate action conferences, democracy talks, SDGs advocacy and other topical issues. This participation is essential to having young people’s positions and views reflected in the national development priorities.
Second, it is important to ensure the right of girls and young women to education. While education is a human right, it is also an indispensable means by which girls and young women can realise all the other rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and indeed in the Zimbabwean Constitution. Levels of poverty remains stubbornly high throughout the country and have resulted in a decrease in school attendance. Young girls are especially at risk of losing their access to education as parents are more likely to send young boys to school if a choice must be made, while young girls are married of early for wealth creation. Out-of-school girls are more vulnerable to early sexual debut, teenage pregnancies, and childbearing. This in turn may result is sexual exploitation, an increased risk of HIV infection and other undesirable outcomes of sexual encounters. Denial of the right to education leads to exclusion from the labour market and marginalization into the informal sector, unpaid work, or early marriages. This perpetuates and increases women’s poverty and contributes to poor literary. According to the institute for Women’s Policy Research, graduating from high school alone increases working mothers’ earnings by over $1.60 per hour (over $3,300 per year). In contrast, each year of work experience is worth only 10 cents per hour.
Third, sexual and reproductive health rights save lives and has long been considered a key component of socioeconomic development. In 2019, 7.1% of youth between the ages of 15 and 24 were married before the age of 15. Most women who get married at a younger age are often in intergenerational marriages, thus increasing their vulnerability to poor health outcomes due to early childbearing and abuse owing to unequal power dynamics. Zimbabwe’s maternal mortality rate remains worryingly high. When women and couples are provided with adequate sexual and reproductive health information and services, including family planning, we can ensure that every child is wanted, and every birth is safe. And we can enhance youth participation, particularly that of young women and girls in the fight inequality and to end poverty.
Fourth, improved coverage and quality of health, water, and sanitation services for those who lack them would do much to reduce the burden of water-related diseases and to improve quality of life. Studies have consistently shown that improvements in water and sanitation coverage – including the implementation of low-cost, simple technology systems – can reduce the incidence of diarrhea, cholera, and other water-related diseases. Furthermore, providing water and sanitation confers multiple benefits beyond reducing water-related diseases, including alleviating the time and economic burden of having to collect water thereby also ensuring that women and girls who often bear the burden of walking long distances to fetch water are not exposed to personal security risks.
Fifth, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a deep and disproportionate impact on youth and youth entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe. Although the youth have in many cases risen to the challenge by showcasing innovative responses to the pandemic from a wide range of young social entrepreneurs, additional support is needed to survive the crisis, to multiply their impact, and to lead the way in forging an inclusive and sustainable recovery.
Finally, the more sustainable use of a country’s natural endowments-of land, energy and water is an essential part of the equation. Moving towards a more sustainable growth path, that is low carbon and climate resilient, will enable Zimbabwe to harness its vibrant and resourceful youth through engaging them in innovation and ICT to conserving its natural resource base while meeting the demands of people, so it remains a rich heritage for future generations.
Let us close on noting the aspirations of young people in Zimbabwe – today, with over 60% of the population of the country under the age of 35, investing in young people and empowering them to realize their potential, is what will drive durable peace, co-existence, inclusive society, resilient democracy, and long-term wealth creation in the country. When young people enjoy good health, including sexual and reproductive health rights, higher quality education, decent working conditions, and are allowed to express their opinions and views freely they are a powerful force for democratic, economic, and social development. Investing in young people is one of the smartest investments that any country can make.
A central premise of the work of the United Nations and Sweden’s history of supporting human rights and democracy before and since Zimbabwe’s independence are citizens’ right to participation, particularly that of young people have a critical impact on its development prospects and on the living standards of the poor. Investing in young people -- and providing both boys and girls with equal opportunities and the means to determine the number, timing and spacing of their children -- create the conditions to break out of the poverty trap and increase levels of human development. In a nutshell, a panacea for an egalitarian and resilient democratic society.
As we mark the International Day of Democracy, each one of us is an equal part of the efforts to advance freedom from want and freedom from fear. Our small individual actions, joined together, can lead to a positive change for everyone and every community.
Zimbabwe’s aspiration to becoming an equitable prosperous upper middle-income society by 2030 is dependent on the decisions that the country now makes with its youth demographic dividend.

COVID-19 pandemic reveals investment in development reaps rewards during crisis
Cricensia Tshu, one of the nurses at Sipepa Rural Hospital, takes out the insulated case of vaccines from the refrigerator to prepare for the day. As with other days, Cricensia prepares to receive mothers as they bring their infants for their vaccination shots.
Two years ago, this routine activity would not have been guaranteed. Unreliable power supply, which has affected Zimbabwe and most Southern African countries, created inconsistencies in the availability of vaccines which need to maintain a cold chain from the central pharmacies in Harare to Sipepa, over 550 km away.
UNDP with support from the Global Fund and in partnership with Ministry of Health and Child Care, and the Ministry of Local Government, Rural and Urban Development, equipped 405 health facilities across the country with solar systems of varying capacity. These systems provide primary power for critical operations including in maternal theatres and wards; pharmacies for medicines and vaccine refrigeration; information systems; and night lighting in the facilities.
“The experience from our partnership with the Ministry of Health and Child Care, and Global Fund provides a platform to continuously invest in a robust health system that can adequately absorb the demand on health facilities” said UNDP Resident Representative, Georges van Montfort.
As Zimbabwe prepares for a potential surge in COVID-19 cases, the investment in 405 health facilities with solar grids will play a critical role in response to the disease. Power for medical devices, information systems and lighting will be important to contain the spread of the virus, provide care for patients and for real-time reporting of incidents across the country.
Through the Global Fund, the UN has supported the National Response Plan to COVID-19 through the procurement of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for frontline health workers with US$4.1 million. UNDP is partnering with the Government, other UN agencies and the private sector to engage communities on information dissemination; support youth-led business working on the COVID-19 response, and to support the informal sector. Further, options for Global Fund support to the COVID response by the health sector are also being considered.
The partnership between Government, Global Fund and UNDP to strengthen national health systems is supporting the country towards achievement of SDGs 3, 7, 8, 13 and 17: Good health and well-being, Affordable and clean energy, Decent work, Climate action and partnerships.

Providing services to survivors of gender-based violence during COVID-19
“Our work with Spotlight Initiative to end violence against women and advancing women’s rights is not stopping during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, our contribution to the fight against the COVID-19 is to ensure that we continuously monitor and bring forward cases of gender-based violence through our members,” said Director of Zimbabwe Women’s Bureau, Ronika Mumbire.
Women are largely affected both physically and emotionally while they are also at higher risk of infection as they respond to the crisis. Data from previous outbreaks’ emergency response efforts often divert resources from essential services, exacerbating ordinary lack of access to services, including pre- and post-natal health care, as well as contraceptives. UN Women Country Representative, Delphine Serumaga maintains that it is essential to address the immediate needs of women.
“Everybody thinks that the world stops just because we have Covid-19 amongst us. No! That is not true. All other essential services must continue. It is imperative to ensure that women have an escape route when they are faced with abusive situations, while other individuals who are witnessing abuse must have adequate knowledge to advise or report such situations,” she said.
Life-saving services for survivors of gender-based violence continue to be offered during Zimbabwe’s COVID-19-related lockdown, such as those offered by Bubi Shelter in Bubi district. This provides, not only shelter for survivors, but has also helps improve the reporting of cases.
As part of the nation’s COVID-19 response efforts, UNFPA Zimbabwe is working closely with civil society organizations and the Ministry of Women’s Affairs Community and Small to Medium Enterprises Development (MWACSMED) to ensure the continuation of GBV services. CSO partners include Musasa Project, Adult Rape Clinic, Family AIDS Counselling Trust, Family Support Trust, FACT, ZAPSO, ZICHIRE and World Vision.
These efforts include equipping all supported GBV facilities – static and mobile one-stop centres, shelters and safe spaces – with COVID-19 infection, prevention and control (IPC) supplies. IPC supplies include masks, gloves, thermometers, temporary isolation tents for GBV survivors with suspicious symptoms, and extra transport support as alternatives to limited availability of public transport for survivors being referred to higher levels of care. These measures are critical to ensure that survivors receive the services they need, while also mitigating against the risk of exposure to COVID-19.
As a safe haven, Bubi shelter has become a beacon of hope in the community. It shows what can be achieved when there is solidarity against the crime of violence against women and girls. The facility brings together religious leaders, councillors, and men and women from the community to discuss how to end GBV against women and girls in the community, explained Ward Councillor Mbizo Siwela.
We are very happy and grateful for the shelter as it is doing a good job in checking and supressing GBV.
“The shelter has helped bring to light the plight of the girl child through community forum meetings, where issues relating to prevention of and response to gender-based violence are shared,” he said. “We are very happy and grateful for the shelter as it is doing a good job in checking and supressing GBV. The shelter has helped improve reporting of GBV cases.”
Currently housing 15 survivors and 4 accompanying minors, the facility shelters women and girls who have experienced GBV, mostly at the hands of those who are supposed to love and protect them.
“Enduring this type of violence is not an easy experience,” said Dr. Julitta Onabanjo, UNFPA Regional Director for East and Southern Africa, during a recent visit to the shelter.
“We must ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted and that this leads to convictions. We must never allow this to happen as a community. We must also ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted and that this leads to convictions,” she said.
The majority of GBV cases registered at Bubi shelter involve adolescent girls. The facility has also emerged as a strong link in the referral system, ensuring that survivors get a comprehensive package of care. Bubi equips the survivors with skills and knowledge on how to deal with GBV, thus training them to become community ambassadors ready to help others who might potentially experience violence.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a tremendous effect on gender-based violence due to resultant socio-economic stresses. Cases of gender-based violence have been on the rise globally, as well as in Zimbabwe.
In a normal month, the Musasa Project Call Center receives approximately 500 calls from survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. Within a week of the lockdown being enforced in Zimbabwe, however, we have received 592 calls from women and girls experiencing GBV.”
This increase in GBV cases is worrisome, but organizations such as Musasa Project are working tirelessly to ensure that women and girls receive the help and services they require to overcome abuse. For instance, Musasa Project has continued to provide safe spaces to survivors of GBV who need to seek shelter away from their abusive homes.
Through the joint global Spotlight Initiative of European Union and the United Nations is providing assistance to organizations such as Musasa Project to ensure survivors of GBV have access to quality GBV services. This support will prove to be even more critical as cases of GBV rise rapidly due to the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Empowering Youth in Disaster Risk Reduction for a Resilient Zimbabwe
11 October 2024, Marondera - Chinatsa Secondary School in Zimbabwe set the stage for an inspiring celebration of the International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR). This year, the focus was on education's vital role in equipping children and young people to handle disasters and build a resilient future. As the world marks IDDRR on October 13 each year, Zimbabwe kicked off its events early, demonstrating a strong commitment to blending education and youth empowerment into its disaster preparedness strategies.Ms. Miranda Tabifor, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator ad interim and UNFPA Representative, emphasized the importance of the Sendai Framework, adopted in 2015, which advocates for the inclusive participation of youth in disaster risk reduction (DRR). She stressed the necessity of educating children to empower them, highlighting the Comprehensive School Safety Framework by UNESCO and UNICEF as important tools to this mission. "Our actions today shape tomorrow's world," Ms. Tabifor stated. “By fostering disaster preparedness education, we equip our children and youth with the critical tools to tackle climate challenges effectively."Honorable Engineer Benjamin Kabikira, Deputy Minister of Local Government and Public Works, recognized climate change-induced events—such as cyclones and droughts—as growing threats. He highlighted the critical role of educating children to safeguard their futures. To this end, Zimbabwe has integrated DRR into school curricula and tertiary education programs, aligning with this year's IDDRR themes.A standout initiative is Zimbabwe's formation of 'Youth Disaster Clubs' in rural areas. These clubs empower students, like Tendai, a high school senior in Marondera, to participate in community drills and teach peers about emergency response. Tendai shared, "I've learned that we can make a real difference. It's not just about learning for ourselves; it’s also about helping to protect our families and neighbors."Efforts are also being made to include youth in provincial disaster management structures, enhancing their leadership roles from grassroots levels. The participation of Zimbabwe's youth in these activities embodies resilience and hope for a sustainable future.The impact of climate change remains a pressing concern. Severe El Niño-induced droughts threaten Zimbabwe's youth, affecting food security and health. Disasters also disrupt education, leaving 1.8 million children vulnerable.Despite advancements, graduates in disaster management face challenges in employment opportunities. However, the government continues to integrate DRR into educational frameworks, offering diplomas and degrees, while prioritizing youth empowerment in alignment with the Sendai Framework. Government initiatives, such as President Mnangagwa’s Youth Desk, aim to empower young people in disaster prevention. The Department of Civil Protection advocates for youth involvement in disaster management at all levels to enhance early warning systems and comprehensive data collection.Cross-sector collaborations are encouraged to build resilience among children and youth in both rural and urban settings. Internationally, the IDDRR underscores the significant role schools play in disaster risk education, with over 400 million students globally affected by extreme weather.Incorporating DRR education—costing approximately $18.51 per child—can significantly reduce the impacts of climate shocks. Globally, child-centered DRR policies focus on integrating children’s vulnerabilities and ideas into risk reduction strategies.Zimbabwe’s celebration of the International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction spotlighted the collective responsibility to cultivate resilience. As the frequency of disasters increases, empowering children and youth through education becomes essential to fostering safer, more resilient communities. The commitment of local and international stakeholders to embed these practices into everyday teaching heralds a promising, more disaster-free future for generations to come.

Empowering Zimbabwe's Girls: Envisioning the Future on International Day of the Girl Child
As the world celebrates the International Day of the Girl Child, the theme "Girls' Vision for the Future" aligns closely with the ambitions and hurdles faced by girls in Zimbabwe. This theme underscores the pressing need for joint efforts and exemplifies a steadfast hope energized by the voices and visions of girls globally.In Zimbabwe, girls aspire to a future where their voices catalyze transformational change, becoming the architects of their destinies. However, challenges like teenage pregnancy and child marriage form substantial barriers to their complete involvement and empowerment. These challenges not only impede their personal growth but also restrict their contributions to society and their country in sustainable development including social, economic, environmental, and democratic governance.Through the UN Spotlight Initiative, generously funded with 34 million USD from the European Union and implemented by the Government of Zimbabwe, UN Agencies, and Civil Society Reference and youth Groups, Zimbabwe has made notable progress in tackling gender-based violence and harmful practices. This initiative symbolizes hope, showcasing the strength of community mobilization, traditional leaders, and a high-level political compact championed by President Emmerson D Mnangagwa, focusing on protecting women’s and girls’ rights through legal and institutional frameworks and deliberate resource allocation in the national budget.Despite these challenges, Zimbabwean girls are advancing with resilience and optimism, envisioning a thriving future. They are breaking barriers and defying stereotypes, participating in community movements, advocating for educational access, and raising awareness against harmful practices. These girls are not just seeking change; they embody it, creating impacts that will resonate for generations.At the community level, there is an increasing acknowledgment of the significance of girls' education and empowerment. With support from programmes like the recently concluded Spotlight Initiative and the ongoing Together for Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights funded by the Government of Sweden, local leaders and parents are opposing early marriages and endorsing policies that protect girls' rights. This collective effort is vital to addressing and reducing gender-based violence while empowering girls to follow their dreams.Furthermore, Zimbabwean girls share a unified vision for their future: a landscape where quality education is accessible to all, where digital literacy is a right rather than a privilege, and where gender equality is customary. Many girls aspire to become leaders, educators, and innovators, contributing to a more just and prosperous society for everyone.Globally, challenges remain in education and digital connectivity for girls, yet Zimbabwean girls remain hopeful. They believe that with adequate support, resources, and opportunities, they can overcome these challenges. They recognize the importance of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those focused on gender equality. Enabling girls to be equal partners in global development can foster inclusive economic growth and sustainable societal advancement.The International Day of the Girl Child is a testament to the potential within every girl, and the collective responsibility to support them. Zimbabwe is at a critical juncture, where the dreams of its girls, strengthened by continuous national efforts under the 2021-2025 National Development Strategy and Vision 2030 to become an upper-middle-income society, community support, and global initiatives, have the potential to shape the future. By investing in girls today, we promise a more fair and prosperous future, maximizing the strength and creativity of every girl.

UN Zimbabwe message on International Youth Day 2023 | Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World
12 August 2023, Harare – today the United Nations System in Zimbabwe joins the world and Zimbabwe in commemorating the International Youth Day. We jointly affirm this year’s theme "Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World." The theme was chosen in recognition of the critical role that young people play in addressing global environmental challenges.
In essence, green skills are about both (i) technical knowledge and skills that enable young people to effectively use green technologies and processes (i.e. resource efficient technologies or processes that reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact of human action); and (ii) transversal skills, as well as knowledge, values and attitudes that help them take pro-environmental decisions in their work and lives.
Zimbabwe, like many other countries, faces significant climate and environmental challenges, including deforestation, land degradation, water scarcity, cyclones, floods, heatwaves, and biodiversity loss. These challenges have adverse effects on both present and future generations, particularly impacting young people’s health and wellbeing and opportunities. A green economy offers the potential for new jobs to be created and for existing jobs to change, which requires adjusting training and skills relevant for green jobs. These employment opportunities are important to young people, whose energy and creativity is needed in creating a sustainable and employment-orientated present and future.
Green skills encompass a wide range of competencies, including sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, waste management, climate science, biodiversity conservation, green entrepreneurship, and sustainable urban planning including supporting related innovations. These skills equip young people with the capacity to contribute to sustainable development at various levels: locally, nationally, and globally.
To achieve a sustainable world, we call upon all stakeholders including relevant government institutions, civil society, private sector, educational institutions, and youth-led organizations to prioritize the following actions:
First, education for sustainability: Foster education systems that integrate sustainability across curricula, ensuring that youth have access to quality and inclusive education. Promote interdisciplinary approaches, engaging students in hands-on experiences, research, and problem-solving related to climate and environmental sustainability.
Second, green skills training and employment: Provide vocational training, apprenticeships, and entrepreneurship programs that focus on green skills development. Encourage public-private partnerships to create more job opportunities in the green economy, enabling youth to contribute their talents effectively.
Third, youth-led initiatives: Support and strengthen youth-led organizations and initiatives that promote environmental sustainability. Provide platforms for young people to voice their concerns, ideas, and innovations, and amplify their participation in decision-making processes related to sustainable development.
Fourth, access to sustainable technologies: Ensure that youth, particularly those from marginalized communities, have access to affordable and sustainable technologies, enabling them to participate in green initiatives.

Press Release
06 April 2023
US$ 524M development results delivered under Zimbabwe UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework
06 April 2023, Harare – The 2022-2026 Zimbabwe UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (ZUNSDCF) Steering Committee and stakeholders convened jointly by the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Dr Misheck JM Sibanda and the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Mr Edward Kallon reviewed development results in 2022 and endorsed plans for 2023.
The ZUNSDCF, delivering US$524 million in various forms of projects and programmes in 2022, has made deliberate initiatives to target populations often left furthest behind and these include persons with disabilities, migrants and refugees, children, youths, and rural farmers among others under four strategic areas agreed with the Government of Zimbabwe namely:
People–centred equitable, human development and well-being.
Environment protection, climatic resilience, and natural resource management.
Economic Transformation, equitable and inclusion growth; and
Accountable, equitable and inclusive governance.
Noting that in 2022 the United Nations prioritized social protection, resilience building, provision of quality social services, gender equality, democratic and economic governance, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Mr Edward Kallon said, “without the generous support of the donor community, the development results could not have been achieved and I would like to thank the donor community in Zimbabwe, who supported the first year of implementing the ZUNSDCF with an estimated US$ 544 million”.
The Steering Committee and stakeholders meeting brought together over 100 senior representatives from Government, Development Partners, Civil Society, Private Sector, Youth Groups, Women’s movement, Organizations of Persons with Disabilities, and the media.
Addressing the meeting, Chief Secretary to President and Cabinet said, “the ZUNSDCF is consistent with the collective aspirations and determination of the people of Zimbabwe to achieve an empowered and prosperous upper middle-income society by 2030 as enunciated by His Excellency, President Dr Emmerson D. Mnangagwa and attaining the global aspirations of the transformation and universally accepted Sustainable Development Goals.”
The Government of Zimbabwe and the United Nations have a shared commitment to leaving no one behind through delivering concrete results that ensure inclusive participation and reaching the people typically left behind the furthest. Noting that the UN Country Team in Zimbabwe shares this vision and is taking active steps to implement it through the Cooperation Framework, Dr Misheck JM Sibanda said, “we all work together to accelerate development progress during the Decade of Action as we work to recover better and stronger from the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic”.
The High-Level Joint Steering Committee meeting allowed stakeholders to review and assess existing strategies under the ZUNSDCF and agreed to focus in 2023 on:
Creating enabling environment that promote (i) human development, (ii) climate resilience, natural resources management and sustainable food systems, and (iii) economic transformation, equitable and inclusive growth.
Addressing structural challenges related to extreme poverty, exclusion, corruption, discrimination, adherence to the rule of law, and violation of human rights.
Strengthening government and partners’ capacities at national and sub-national levels to plan and deliver transparently and accountably quality, evidence based and equitable basic public goods and services, implement climate change mitigation and adaptation interventions and build long term resilience, especially for the furthest left behind.
Empowering communities, especially the most vulnerable and the furthest behind, to demand their rights and meet their responsibilities and promote dialogue and citizen engagement.
The ZUNSDCF with a five-year programme cycle until 2026 and fully aligned to the National Development Strategy One has a development finance portfolio of US$ 2.8billion to be mobilized in support of national development priorities and SDGs.

Water is a common good not a commodity: UN experts
GENEVA / NEW YORK (21 March 2023) – Water should be managed as a common good not a commodity, UN experts* said today. They urged States to ensure that human rights and water defenders be placed at the core of the discussions during the first UN conference focusing on water in nearly five decades. The experts issued the following statement ahead of the UN 2023 Water Conference (22-24 March).
“The human rights to water and sanitation are clear illustrations of the indivisibility, interrelatedness and interdependency of human rights and are vital for achieving an adequate standard of living. Whether looking at physical security of women and girls, discrimination against Indigenous Peoples, peasants, minorities or to the human rights to health, adequate housing, a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, education, and many others, all are intimately linked to water and sanitation.
For the first time in almost 50 years, the United Nations is convening a three-day conference in New York to consider the global water situation and the progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) contained in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
We welcome the efforts by the United Nations, Member States, right-holders and other stakeholders from all parts of the world to gather in New York and work together for advancing the global water agenda. Progress on SDG 6 – clean water and sanitation for all - can only happen effectively if communities and their human rights are at the center of the discussions, especially by hearing the voices of those that endure discrimination, marginalisation, poverty and situations of vulnerability.
Water is a human right. It needs to be managed as a common good. Considering water as a commodity or a business opportunity will leave behind those that cannot access or afford the market prices. Commodification of water will derail achievement of the SDGs and hamper efforts to solve the global water crisis, already further exacerbated by the triple planetary crisis: climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and toxic pollution, affecting the life and health of billions around the world.
The UN 2030 Water Conference is an opportunity for listening to and engaging with human rights defenders, particularly water rights defenders, and other rights-holders. Instead of restricting the freedom of expression and association of human rights and water rights defenders, and even criminalising them, it is time to ensure their meaningful participation, especially for women and youth human rights defenders, in all discussions and in any outcomes and water governance mechanisms at the international, national, and local levels. In this context, robust public access to information frameworks are needed to foster transparency, participation and accountability.
It is time to stop a technocratic approach to water and consider the ideas, knowledge and solutions of Indigenous Peoples, peasants, and local communities who understand local aquatic ecosystems to ensure sustainability of the water agenda.
As mentioned in a recent open letter from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to member States, the UN Water Conference “is a once in a lifetime opportunity to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, and Sustainable Development Goal 6 in particular, to address the root causes of this water and sanitation crisis” currently affecting two billion people without guaranteed access to safe drinking water and more than four billion without basic sanitation.
We reiterate our hope that the UN 2030 Water Conference will be the beginning of a genuine and long-term collaborative agenda to accelerate the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 6 and promote and protect human rights by putting water rights defenders and rights-holders at the center of all decision-making processes at international, national and local level.”

UN Secretary-General calls for radical transformation of global financial- system to tackle pressing global challenges, while achieving sustainable development
17 February 2023, New York - With the failure of the global financial system to effectively cushion the impacts of current global crises on the Global South — the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the ongoing climate emergency — the UN today called for the urgent need for a significant increase of finance for sustainable development.
“Today’s poly-crises are compounding shocks on developing countries – in large part because of an unfair global financial system that is short-term, crisis-prone, and that further exacerbates inequalities,” warned UN Secretary-General António Guterres on the occasion of the launch of the SDG Stimulus released today.
“We need to massively scale up affordable long-term financing by aligning all financing flows to the SDGs and improving the terms of lending of multilateral development banks,” stressed the Secretary-General. “The high cost of debt and increasing risks of debt distress demand decisive action to make at least $500 billion dollars available annually to developing countries and convert short term lending into long term debt at lower interest rates.”
A financial system that works for all
Halfway to the 2030 Agenda deadline, progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – our roadmap out of crises – is not where it needs to be. To reverse course and make steady progress on the Goals, the SDG Stimulus outlines the need for the international community to come together to mobilize investments for the SDGs – but, in so doing, create a new international financial architecture that would ensure that finance is automatically invested to support just, inclusive and equitable transitions for all countries.
The current global financial system – originally created to provide a global safety net during shocks – is one in which most of the world’s poorest countries saw their debt service payments skyrocket by 35% in 2022. The “great finance divide” continues to proliferate, leaving the Global South more susceptible to shocks. Developing countries don’t have the resources they urgently need to invest in recovery, climate action and the SDGs, making them poised to fall even further behind when the next crisis strikes – and even less likely to benefit from future transitions, including the green transition.
As of November 2022, 37 out of 69 of the world’s poorest countries were either at high risk or already in debt distress, while one in four middle-income countries, which host the majority of the extreme poor, were at high risk of fiscal crisis. Accordingly, the number of additional people falling into extreme poverty in countries in or at high risk of entering debt distress is estimated to be 175 million by 2030, including 89 million women and girls.
Even prior to the recent rise in interest rates, least developed countries that borrowed from international capital markets often paid rates of 5 to 8 per cent, compared to 1 per cent for many developed countries.
SDG Stimulus Offers
The SDG Stimulus aims to offset unfavorable market conditions faced by developing countries through investments in renewable energy, universal social protection, decent job creation, healthcare, quality education, sustainable food systems, urban infrastructure and the digital transformation.
Increasing financing by $500 billion per year is possible through a combination of concessional and non-concessional finance in a mutually reinforcing way.
Reforms to the international financial architecture are integral to the SDG Stimulus. As highlighted in the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, financing sustainable development is about more than the availability of financial resources. National and global policy frameworks influence risks, shape incentives, impact financing needs, and affect the cost of financing.
The SDG Stimulus outlines three areas for immediate action:
First, tackle the high cost of debt and rising risks of debt distress, including by converting short-term high interest borrowing into long-term (more than 30 year) debt at lower interest rates.
Second, massively scale up affordable long-term financing for development, especially through strengthening the multilateral development banks (MDB) capital base, improving the terms of their lending, and by aligning all financing flows with the SDGs.
Third, expand contingency financing to countries in need, including by integrating disaster and pandemic clauses into all sovereign lending, and more automatically issue SDRs in times of crisis.
Central role of International Financial Institutions
The international financial institutions remain at the heart of this agenda. Of immediate urgency, there are three important ways in which the Multilateral Development Banks can act.
First, the MDBs must massively expand the volume of lending, including concessional lending. This can be achieved through increasing their capital bases, better leveraging of existing capital and implementing recommendations of the G20 Capital Adequacy Framework Review, and re-channeling Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) through MDBs. As long as countries remain in need of urgent resources the SDG Stimulus will also call for a new round of SDRs.
Second, MDBs must improve the terms of their lending, including through longer-term lending, lower-interest rates, more lending in local currencies, and the inclusion of all vulnerable countries in lending programmes.
Third, MDBs – as well as all public and private actors – must explicitly incorporate the SDGs into their framing, their operations and all stages of the lending process and disaster and pandemic clauses must be integrated into all debt contracts to provide immediate relief in times of crisis.
This means adopting a transition approach, which aligns investments with the SDGs while also considering specific country and development contexts, and the trade-offs that may be involved on the path towards a more resilient, just, and inclusive global economy. At the national level, the UN also stands ready to support, including through supporting the development and application of SDG-aligned Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFFs).
Member States – including the Group of Twenty (G-20) – must play their part. It is clear that the G20 Common Framework for Debt Treatment (CF) has failed. The SDG Stimulus calls for providing immediate relief to all countries in need, including through debt suspensions, re-profilings, exchanges and write-downs where necessary, as well as the creation of a permanent mechanism to address sovereign debt distress.
As underscored by the UN Secretary-General, the SDG Stimulus, while ambitious, is achievable: “Investing in the SDGs is both sensible and feasible: it is a win-win for the world, as the social and economic rates of return on sustainable development in developing countries is very high.”
But to make this happen, “urgent political will to take concerted and coordinated steps to implement this package of interconnected proposals in a timely manner is critical.”
A Bretton Woods 2.0 is sorely needed, both to fulfil the function for which it was originally designed for and to prepare the world, and its vulnerable people, as we head into uncertain terrain.

Message on Human Rights Day | UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator
Seventy-four years ago, in 1948, the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Today, the UN family joins the Government and people of Zimbabwe, and development partners to mark Human Rights Day.
This day also marks the end of the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence.
The 2022 Human Rights Day theme is – Stand up for Human Rights: Dignity, Freedom, and Justice for All.
As we mark Human Rights Day, we are reminded of what is contained in the preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - that recognition of the inherent dignity; equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family are the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world.
As we journey together towards achieving the milestones in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Zimbabwe’s National Development Strategy, we must be mindful of the fact that only by standing up for universal human rights can we advance sustainable development, prevent violence, and sustain peace.
The 2030 Agenda and its 17 goals range from ending poverty, hunger, inequality, to protecting the environment, advancing peace and human rights for all.
The 2030 Agenda therefore seeks to ‘leave no one behind’ and ‘reach those furthest behind first’.
Human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals are therefore two sides of the same coin.
Despite progress made, we are still faced with diverse challenges in many areas.
The challenges include gender equality, youth engagement, racism, climate change, access to water, social protection, quality education and health to mention but a few.
In his transformative vision for human rights – the Call to Action for Human Rights – the UN Secretary General places dignity, freedom, and justice for all at the heart of our collective engagement to build a more sustainable, just, inclusive, and peaceful world.
Indeed, in his message on Human Rights Day, the Secretary General said,
“Human rights are the foundation for human dignity, and the cornerstone of peaceful, inclusive, fair, equal, and prosperous societies. They are a unifying force and a rallying cry.
They reflect the most fundamental thing we share – our common humanity.”
Next year marks the 75th anniversary of the landmark Universal Declaration on Human Rights giving us a great opportunity for action.
Let us all use this milestone to reaffirm the universality, the inalienability, and the indivisibility of all human rights.
Let us all stand up for human rights for all.
Thank you.
