The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has welcomed a contribution of US$5.1 million from the Government of Japan to support 37,000 climate-affected smallholder farmers across five districts in Zimbabwe.
The three-year project will enhance food security and resilience for smallholder farmers by establishing water-based infrastructure, developing value chains, and strengthening agricultural extension service capacity.
Japanese Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Shinichi Yamanaka, revealed that one of the districts that will benefit is Mwenezi. He said:
<blockquote>
Under this project, small-scale farmers will be supported in growing sesame seeds to practice market-oriented agriculture and a Japanese trading company called ITOCHU Corporation is expected to play an important role in completing the value chain of the project.
The Japanese government will provide financial assistance of approximately US$ 72,000 to ‘the project for the construction of storages for sesame farmers in Mwenezi District’ implemented by Sustainable Agriculture Technology (SAT).
SAT is expected to support sesame production and its procurement including value addition for the local and export market.
</blockquote>
The initiative is crucial, as Zimbabwe faces ongoing climate challenges and food insecurity due to the El Niño-induced drought.
The project combines food assistance with climate-adaptive practices, to help smallholder farmers to cultivate more sustainable crops.
Production of Sesame, a crop with high market potential, will be one of the central value chains, enhancing export opportunities for Zimbabwean smallholder farmers.
Barbara Clemens, Country Representative and Director for WFP in Zimbabwe, said:
<blockquote>
This invaluable contribution from the Government of Japan allows us to make food more available, easier to access, and more reliable for Zimbabwean families.
By supporting farmers to grow food in a sustainable way and connect them to markets, we can address immediate food needs and empower communities to build a food-secure future.
</blockquote>
Japan is a long-standing partner of WFP’s assistance in Zimbabwe. Since 2019, Japan has contributed over US$ 28 million to WFP-supported food assistance and resilience-building for vulnerable communities in the country.

Japan gave $5.1 million to help 37,000 farmers in Zimbabwe. They will build water systems, improve agriculture, and teach new skills. The project will focus on growing sesame seeds. This will help farmers sell their crops to make more money. Japan has helped Zimbabwe before and will continue to do so. This aid will help farmers deal with climate change and grow more food. The goal is to make sure families have enough food to eat and can support themselves in the future.

Japan Donates US$5 Million To Support 37,000 Farmers In Zimbabwe

The Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe on Tuesday, 14 November donated a consignment of food, stationery, and other basic necessities to Hossana Love in Africa Children’s Home, an orphanage supported by the Chinese.
According to a report by <a href="http://en.people.cn/n3/2023/1115/c90000-20097299.html">People’s Daily</a>, Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe Zhou Ding handed over the goods to the orphanage at its premises in the Hatcliffe suburb, Harare.
Speaking at a handover ceremony for the donated goods, Zhou said:
<blockquote>
In the past seven years, the Chinese Embassy and the Chinese community have provided continuous assistance to the children’s home by renovating facilities, upgrading water and electricity supply systems, donating daily necessities, livestock and poultry to meet the needs and promote self-sufficiency of this loving home.
</blockquote>
He said the support from the embassy and the Chinese community to the vulnerable children at the orphanage and many others in the country was testimony to the long-standing friendship between China and Zimbabwe. Said Zhou:
<blockquote>
Our profound relations also embody our effort to care for disadvantaged groups and promote the well-being of the Zimbabwean people.
What we have been doing here for the children’s home is the epitome of these consistent efforts.
</blockquote>
He pledged China’s continued support to the orphanage and other disadvantaged groups in Zimbabwe.
Zhou challenged the children to become exemplary promoters of China-Zimbabwe friendship.
Hossana Love in Africa Children’s Home started with just 12 children at its inception in 2016, and the number has increased to about 40.
Some of the children from the orphanage have since graduated from universities of higher education and many have started to give back to society.
Sharon Chivambo, the administrator of the Hossana Love in Africa Children’s Home expressed gratitude to the Chinese but added that more support is required to build more classroom blocks and further upgrade the water system.

Chinese Embassy Donates To Orphanage In Zimbabwe

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday sent a plane carrying 50 tonnes of food items to Zimbabwe to help feed thousands of families and vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly.
The UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, <a href="https://www.mofaic.gov.ae/en/mediahub/news/2022/8/23/23-08-2022-uae-aid">quoted</a> His Excellency Dr Jassim Muhammad Al Qasimi, UAE Ambassador to Zimbabwe, as saying:
<blockquote>
Sending food items to the Republic of Zimbabwe reflects the strong relations between our two nations and demonstrates the humanitarian role played by the UAE to support African countries and alleviate the humanitarian crises they face.
</blockquote>
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, UAE sent medical aid to Zimbabwe which benefitted 8 000 healthcare workers.

UAE Sends 50 Tonnes Of Food Items To Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe has donated 1 000 tonnes of maize to terrorism victims in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado Province.
The donation was delivered by President Emmerson Mnangagwa to Mozambique’s President Filipe Nyusi during his one-day state visit to Maputo on Friday last week.
Zimbabwe joins donors who are working on providing aid aimed at rebuilding infrastructure and restoring public services in Cabo Delgado province which has been experiencing conflict since 2017.
President Nyusi expressed gratitude to Zimbabwe for the donation and acknowledged the country’s western neighbour’s role in fighting Islamist extremists in the gas and oil-rich province. Said Nyusi:
<blockquote>
I want to thank President Mnangagwa for his donation of 1 000 tonnes to the victims of terrorism. The kind gesture will go a long way. Also, Zimbabwe has been very supportive in terms of security.
We have Zimbabwean officers participating in the training and development of our soldiers who are fighting terrorists.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the International Crisis Group (ICG), while noting the important role played by humanitarian aid, urged the Mozambican government to engage the terrorists in dialogue and address their grievances to bring long-lasting peace. The group said:
<blockquote>
Humanitarian and development aid money has started to cool tensions on the ground. It may dissuade some young men from taking up arms, but not enough of them.
Without government efforts to address the insurgency’s political roots, especially through dialogue, the civilian population of Cabo Delgado will probably have to live through a prolonged period of conflict.
</blockquote>
In May last year, <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/05/25/south-africa-donates-mealie-meal-to-cyclone-idai-victims/">Zimbabwe received a donation of 5 625 tonnes of mealie meal worth 50 million rands from South Africa for Cyclone Idai victims.</a>
The first batch of 272 tonnes was handed over to President Emmerson Mnangagwa this morning at State House by South Africa Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Naledi Pandor.
South Africa made the pledge in 2019 and Pandor said the donation could not come on time because of the COVID-19 pandemic that restricted movement.

<blockquote>
We are pleased to be receiving this donation especially today on May 25, Africa Day when the whole continent is celebrating the successes of our collective fight against colonialism and apartheid.

Cyclone Idai was a powerful tropical cyclone that ripped through Eastern parts of the country on the night of 15 March 2019 claiming hundreds of lives and leaving a trail of destruction to property and infrastructure.

South Africa Donates Mealie Meal To Cyclone Idai Victims

The World Food Programme (WFP) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have begun cash payments, equivalent to US$12.00 to thousands of Zimbabweans living in urban areas.
This was said by United States ambassador to Zimbabwe Brian Nichols on Wednesday following a meeting with Labour and Social Welfare Minister Paul Mavima.
Nichols called on the Zimbabwean government to negotiate in good faith with labour union leaders and to eliminate child labour, especially in the tobacco and sugarcane industries. Said, Nichols:
<blockquote>I met with Labor Minister Mavima today to encourage government and labour leaders to negotiate in good faith. Respect for workers’ rights will help create a more prosperous Zimbabwe.
We look forward to working with the Ministry to eliminate child labour in tobacco and sugar cane farming. Children need the education to thrive.
I told Minister Mavima that today [the World Food Programme], with [the United States Agency for International Development] funding, began payments to 103,700 Zimbabweans in 8 urban areas to help meet their daily food needs.
This will help hungry Zimbabweans buy food for the next 6 months.</blockquote>

WFP, USAID Begin US$12 Payments To Urban Dwellers

Russia is set to deliver humanitarian aid to Zimbabwe, the Central African Republic (CAR), and Congo Brazaville.
According to Tass, an aircraft of the Russian Emergencies Ministry will deliver the humanitarian aid consisting of sanitizers and personal protective equipment to the three Africa countries. The statement says:
<blockquote>On September 5, an Ilyushin IL-76 aircraft of the Russian Emergencies Ministry is scheduled to deliver personal protective equipment, medical items and sanitizers as humanitarian aid. Overall, it is about 25 tonnes.</blockquote>
The humanitarian aid will be delivered in accordance with the Russian government’s resolution.
Zimbabwe’s Defence minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri recently told parliamentarians that the country had flattened the coronavirus curve, as there was now an “equilibrium between increases in infections and increases in the recoveries”.
As of Thursday, the country had recorded 6 678 positive cases, 206 deaths and 5 263 recoveries. The recovery rate constitutes about 79 per cent of the confirmed infections.

Russia To Deliver Humanitarian Aid To Zimbabwe - REPORT

The European Union (EU) said that money donated to Zimbabwe is not given directly to the government since its priority is to assist the most vulnerable people.
In a statement, the EU said the funds are mainly channelled through international organisations such as the United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNICEF) for the Health Development Fund.
The organisation added that it monitors the implementation closely and apply stringent accounting.
This comes after the organisation earlier on Monday announced that it had granted another EUR 6.5 million (USD 7.33 million) to step up the COVID-19 response in Zimbabwe.
The EU said the funds are a top-up for the EU’s existing support to the multi-donor Health Development Fund (HDF).
The additional support will contribute to the supply of essentials commodities (PPE, diagnostic tests among others).
Additionally, training of all frontline health workers will be conducted as well as for community health workers on Infection Prevention and Case Management.
As part of the preventive measures, the grant will assist in developing innovative communication tools to maintain a high level of alert in the country, the EU said in the statement.

EU says Its Financial Grants To Zim Won't Go To The Government

The United States has pledged to provide US$60.55 million to assist Zimbabwe with its food insecurity during the lean season.
The funding will, however, be provided toward the World Food Programme’s (WFP) 2020/21 Lean Season Food Assistance program in Zimbabwe.
The Zimbabwean government announced in early June that the country harvested 907 628 tonnes of maize in the 2019/20 season, that is, half of the 1.8 million tonnes it requires.
There are 4.3 million severely food insecure people in rural areas in Zimbabwe, according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, undertaken in February 2020.
In a statement on Monday, United States Ambassador to Zimbabwe Brian A. Nichols said the lean season assistance will begin in August and will feed nearly one million people during the peak of the season, from January to April 2021. Said Nichols:
<blockquote>The United States remains committed to responding to the humanitarian situation, providing critical food assistance to Zimbabwe’s most vulnerable while responding to the Covid-19 pandemic and maintaining essential services.</blockquote>
In June, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) announced an additional US$10 million to ensure that nearly 100 000 people in eight urban areas have access to adequate food supplies between July and December 2020.

US Offers US$60 Million To Feed Zimbabwe

The government is yet to start distributing the $6 per person COVID-19 relief money, the Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare said today in a post-cabinet meeting briefing.
According to minister Paul Mavhima, the government had to verify first that people on the beneficiaries’ list are genuine cases.
The minister also said the allocation per individual has also been raised from ZWL $200 (the equivalent US $4) to ZWL $300 (US $6 at today’s parallel market rate).
Said the minister:
<blockquote>On the issue of the $200, we had been tasked by the cabinet to go and look at the numbers snd make sure that what we’re working with are bonafide citizens who should receive this money under the criteria that we use to establish vulnerability.
And we have had to go back to the whole list and we have so far approved 90,000 to be paid. We continue to look at that database so that we can pay to bonafide citizens.
You’ll also want to know that our discussion with the treasury has now raised the figure from $200 to $300 and we should be starting paying these 90,000 that have been verified.</blockquote>
The government announced the fund in April and initially said that <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/05/01/govt-yet-to-disburse-cushioning-funds-for-vulnerable-people/">distribution would start in April</a>.

Government Says It Will Finally Start Disbursing US $6 Coronavirus Relief Money

Chitungwiza deputy mayor and Ward 19 councillor Musa Makweza (MDC Alliance) has been accused of politicising government aid meant for vulnerable people.
Zimbabwe Old People’s Association co-ordinator Paddington Chaparadza claimed that some old people’s names were left out as potential beneficiaries because they were considered sympathetic to ZANU PF. He said:
<blockquote>Programmes are introduced in a good way, but the implementation is not good. President (Emmerson Mnangagwa) spoke well about this, but those driving it are now politicising it. In this country, people in positions of authority favour those who support them. Seven people are written down at a single house and the elderly are few. There is no transparency.</blockquote>
A Chitungwiza resident who spoke to NewsDay also lamented the fact that Makweza invited the needy people to his house for registration. Said the resident:
<blockquote>He has a high position in his party, there are rallies and meetings done at his house. Majority of the people are not going there because they are thinking that it’s an MDC Alliance event or rally. Those who don’t belong to his party will be afraid to come. He should have chosen a neutral venue. Otherwise, those that I saw writing names and the security do not belong to his party.</blockquote>
Makweza however, refuted charges of bias, saying he invited all vulnerable people to come and register without considering their political affiliation.

US Pledges To Continue Providing Aid To Zimbabwe

The United Nations (UN) on Tuesday increased its aid appeal from donors for Zimbabwe to $331.5 million.
Zimbabwe experienced two extreme weather events characterised by a severe drought induced by the El Nino phenomenon and an unprecedented tropical cyclone, Cyclone Idai.
This resulted in acute food shortages, leaving millions in both urban and rural areas on the brink of starvation.
Maize yields have fallen to just 50 per cent of the previous season’s harvest due to drought while the eastern districts of the country were ravaged by the powerful cyclone.
According to government estimates, 2.2 million people in urban areas require food aid.
David Beasley, executive director of the U.N. World Food Programme, said 2.3 million people in rural Zimbabwe need emergency food aid now.
The figure is expected to rise to 5.5 million during the lean season up to March next year. Said, Beasley:
<blockquote>We are talking about people who truly are marching towards starvation if we are not here to help them.
We are facing a drought unlike any that we have seen in a long time. We don’t have the luxury of fiddling while Rome burns.</blockquote>
The UN had previously appealed for $294 million but the figure has now been raised to $333.5 million.
In total, 7.7 million people require food aid which is roughly one in every two Zimbabweans.

U.N. Raises Aid Appeal To $331.5 Million As Hunger Stalks Zimbabwe

The United States of America (US) insists that it has continued supporting the Zimbabwean people in spite of the targeted sanctions imposed on the country’s political and military elites.
The US says that it has, since 1980, poured more than US$3 billion into Zimbabwe to improve health and food security.
The US gain reiterated its stance that Zimbabwe’s economic problems are not a result of sanctions but harmful policies. In a statement released on Monday, the US said:
<blockquote>Since 1980 our commitment to the Zimbabwean people is unchanged: Over $3 bn to improve health, food security, economic resilience and democratic governance. Delivery on promised political and economic reforms will allow us to do even more.
Many years of harmful policies, not U.S. sanctions, have led to Zimbabwe’s current economic challenges. We recognize Zimbabwe is making difficult economic decisions with limited resources in order to improve Zimbabwe’s trajectory.</blockquote>

US Govt Has Given Over US$3 Billion Aid To Zim Since 1980

Swedish Ambassador to Zimbabwe Sofia Calltorp revealed that her country has approved a $165 million development assistance to Zimbabwe over the next 5 years. She revealed this when she met Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko. Said Ambassador Calltorp to VP Mphoko:
<blockquote>I have very good news to announce to you today that the Swedish Government this morning decided on a new five-year development cooperation programme for Zimbabwe.
I look forward to working here during my tenure to strengthen cooperation between our countries in various fields.
We will work in three areas, the first one is democracy, human rights and rule of law, the second one is health and the third one is environment and climate.
We have long history of friendship between Sweden and people of Zimbabwe and I look forward to working in all areas to enhance that friendship and work together for the prosperous development of this country.</blockquote>
