1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Throughout the first six months of the year the already fragile humanitarian situation in Zimbabwe has been further compounded by yet another year of poor agricultural production (such that up to 3.8 million persons may be food-insecure by the end of the year). Large numbers of the vulnerable population have become increasingly dependent on humanitarian assistance after having depleted most of their household resources, and further impacting the humanitarian situation is the high level of internal and external displacement associated with election violence. This is happening at the same time that access restrictions have been imposed upon the humanitarian community since the start of the election period in early March 2008, with the result that needs are being met only partially if at all, and the information available to humanitarian monitoring systems is declining. Underlying the crisis remains the deterioration of all segments of the economy, and a new factor – that of xenophobic violence in South Africa against foreigners, many of the victims of which have been Zimbabwean. The 2007/2008 agricultural season was characterised by a mosaic of heavy rains, flooding, and a long dry spell in the early part of the season, as well as continuing systemic deficiencies in land use, marketing, infrastructure and agricultural input support. The joint Government, FAO and WFP Crop Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) undertaken in April 2008 estimates the deficit in cereals, which will somehow have to be made up in imports, at 1.232 million tons, including one million tonnes of maize. Given the scale of the projected deficit and the numbers of people who as a result are estimated to need assistance – 2.04 million people in need of food assistance from July to September, 3.8 million from October to December, and 5.1 million people from January to March 2009 – food assistance programmes will doubtless have to be increased as Government imports of maize are likely to be severely reduced given its limited access to foreign currency. However, these needs are becoming apparent at the same time that access is becoming increasingly constrained during the election period. The Government requested, initially informally, humanitarian agencies to reduce their field presence and scale down operations until after the 27 June 2008 presidential election re-run. On 4 June 2008, a letter requesting a full cessation of NGO and PVO field operations was issued by the government, thereby paralysing most humanitarian action. Heavily restricted access has affected life-supporting actions and monitoring of vital indicators in the field, including the delivery of food to the home-based care programmes in the country. In addition, humanitarian agencies have been seriously hampered in their response to the needs of the population affected by the violence. Political instability and related violence in Zimbabwe has placed considerable strain on coping mechanisms and income-generating activities, and contributed to a further increase in unemployment, already at an all-time high of 80%. Widespread violence and intimidation started shortly after the first round of elections in March 2008, and has continued throughout the period before the upcoming presidential election re-run, planned for 27 June 2008. As of end May 2008, political violence had displaced an estimated 28,000 persons throughout the country. The IASC Country Team has updated its Contingency Plan to ensure preparedness in the event of increased political violence and a further deterioration of the humanitarian situation following the next round of elections. With an inflation rate of 355,000% in March 2008, by far the highest in the world, the poor state of Zimbabwe’s economy continues to erode basic social service delivery and galvanise the migration of skilled labour. Diaspora remittance support has played a significant role in mitigating the impact of the humanitarian crisis, particularly for families living in the vulnerable urban areas and the southern part of the country. However, this support may diminish following xenophobic violence in South Africa in May 2008. An unconfirmed number of the estimated three million Zimbabweans living in South Africa are reported to be fleeing back to Zimbabwe or into neighbouring countries to escape the violence. The IASC Country Team and its partners continue to negotiate with the Government for full access to all beneficiaries while at the same time exploring alternative ways to ensure the timely delivery of life-saving support. In light of the worsening of the humanitarian situation, the next six months require a significant scaling-up of life-saving support to adequately address the increased vulnerabilities. The MYR of the CAP has therefore led to increased of financial requirements of $394,443,247.

2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT, HUMANITARIAN NEEDS, AND RESPONSE

Access has become one of the defining elements of this Mid-Year Review. In the run-up to the harmonised elections at the end of March 2008 and the subsequent events surrounding the counting and arrangements for the second round of presidential voting, many UN and NGO reports show cases of ‘friendly warnings’, or partial or full restrictions by either officials or other influential members of the community, including war veterans or militia. Some aid organisations have been deliberately suspended on allegations of using aid as a weapon to sway the vote. On 4 June the Zimbabwe authorities sent a letter to NGOs and private voluntary organisations (PVOs) dictating a full cessation of all humanitarian field operations in the country until further notice. Another element that has dramatically changed the humanitarian environment is the sharp increase of political violence in both rural and urban areas, with forced evictions from dwellings still continuing. Victims that flee their homes and communities, often leaving their families behind, do not seek refuge in groups and are therefore not easily reached with assistance. Accessing these populations remains a major challenge, not in the least as the administration of humanitarian relief might be construed as providing political support. This has meant that the humanitarian impact of the current crisis is beyond what was projected in the different scenarios of the inter-agency contingency plan prior to the March 2008 elections. As outlined above, one of the immediate consequences of the recent politically motivated violence is displacement, with a noticeable trend of people moving from rural to urban areas. Its magnitude is difficult to verify as the affected, in fleeing to urban areas, safe houses, or neighbouring fields, attempt to keep a low profile. However, the displacement directly impacts households access to food and further entails the loss or disruption of already stretched coping mechanisms for rural, urban, displaced and host populations alike, and heightens protection risks. Gaining access to this caseload of displaced people, already difficult under previous circumstances, has now become a major operational constraint, in particular on issues related to verification, logistics, security and protection. Although most monitoring systems have not been operational in the pre- and post-election period, the food security situation in the country is certainly a cause of serious concern Low production levels in the 2007/2008 agricultural season, coupled with already high food prices, food shortages in both urban and rural areas, and the unavailability of maize are unambiguous indications of a potential increase in food insecurity over the next six months. Particularly worrying is the situation in the rural districts that traditionally produce grain and are already running out of this key food commodity. The food situation has further been negatively affected by the heavy floods at the beginning of the year,

2

as well as by the impact of the sky-rocketing inflation, which according to official reports has risen to 355,000%

3 (although unofficial reports estimate June 2008 inflation at 1.7 million%), continuing to

cripple the country’s already vulnerable economy. (See as well the Agricultural response plan, below). To avoid food security problems on a significant scale, a considerable amount of food must be imported and made available in both rural and urban areas. At the same time, agricultural inputs for the next season should be made available in time to avoid similar shortcomings experienced in the last seasons. Should the current unstable political situation prevail for a prolonged period of time, preventing humanitarian organisations to from delivering assistance in a timely and effective manner, the vulnerability of affected households will likely deteriorate to critical levels. The risk of continuing limited access to communities after the election run-offs poses an important challenge to food operations. In order to meet projected needs, the humanitarian community would have to plan and be prepared to scale up the vulnerable group feeding programme (VGF). Furthermore, the country continues to experience major challenges in providing a sufficient level of water supply to its population, mainly due to the on-going economic decline and the rapid disintegration of the related infrastructure, in spite of the above-average rainfall during 2007/08. The infrastructure and basic service delivery of the health sector was already seriously affected well before the election period started. A major concern remains the increasingly restricted access to health information, which is mostly the result of the accelerated economic disintegration. Timeliness of reporting obtained through the national surveillance systems has dropped to below 30%, while

2 A regional Flash Appeal (the Southern African Region Floods Preparedness and Response Plan 2008) was launched to mitigate the consequences of the heavy rainfall and the resultant flooding: http://ochaonline.un.org/humanitarianappeal/webpage.asp?Page=1655 3 Central Statistical Office, March 2008

completeness of reporting to below 25%. It is therefore impossible to determine exactly to what extent the current situation is impacting on the basic health services. It is, however, evident that the sector is seriously overstretched, whereby the recent eruption of political violence has only further compounded that situation. The education sector has been greatly affected by the current economical and political situation in Zimbabwe. Earlier this year teachers all over Zimbabwe went on strike to demand higher salaries. Since early March 2008 many school premises have been used as bases for youth militia or political meetings. The political violence and tension in and around schools is limiting partners’ access and is affecting project implementation, denying children full access to education and putting them at risk of abuse and exploitation. In addition many teachers are victims of violence and intimidation, while others have been arrested on the accusation of having tilted the vote in their areas. If the situation does not rapidly change and schools have not returned to normal functions, the 2007/2008 school year will have to be written off for the majority of students in Zimbabwe. Though nearly all elements of the most likely scenario of the CAP 2008 have come to pass, the magnitude of election-related violence, displacement, access restrictions and the disintegration of the economy have come as a surprise to many. Recent contingency and response planning updates are now more clearly reflecting large-scale displacements and further intensification of the humanitarian crisis at hand. Nonetheless, the main elements of the most-likely scenario remain valid and no review is required. The strategic priorities as identified in the 2008 CAP have been discussed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Country Team and confirmed to remain unchanged, as follows: • Save lives, alleviate suffering and promote dignity of vulnerable groups; • Enhance livelihoods and food security; • Strengthen coordination and collaboration with all stakeholders including the Government. However, depending on the developments in the economical and political arena, there might be a considerable increase in the number of food-insecure beneficiaries, as well as mobile and vulnerable populations (MVPs). Effect of funding on CHAP implementation As of June 25, the CAP was had received $164,785,345 of its revised requirements of $394,443,247, or 42%.

4 All sectors, with the notable exceptions of Agriculture (3%), Nutrition (7%) and Economic

Recovery and Infrastructure (2%), show a moderate level of funding, with less variation than at the MYR point last year. Funding ranges from Coordination and Support Services (64%), Health (61%), Food (48%), Education (47%), Water and Sanitation (42%), Multi-Sector (39%), and Protection/Human Rights/Rule of Law (20%). The food sector with $111,734,739 is by far the largest recipient of resources contributed to the CAP, constituting 68% of all funding to date. This pattern of funding still suggests that many donors are prioritising immediate life-saving actions ahead of transitional support, with some still reluctant or unable to fund projects that build vulnerable people’s resilience until there are changes in the governance situation in the country. Hence, the pattern of donors being unwilling to commit funds to agricultural and economic projects continues. The funding pattern by type of appealing agency shows the following trends:

3. RESPONSE PLANS

3.A TECHNICAL AREAS

3.A.1 Agriculture

Priority Needs The current food security crisis in Zimbabwe is a result of a combination of factors: adverse weather conditions; macroeconomic deterioration; controls on cereal trade; extremely high levels of unemployment, inflation and poverty; low production of agricultural inputs; and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. These factors affect most segments of the population, including the rural vulnerable, urban poor, ex-farm workers and their families and many of the resettled farmers. Coping mechanisms have increasingly involved the unsustainable use of available natural resources. Production in the agriculture sector has shifted from developed technological systems, involving good knowledge of the markets and high degree of control over inputs, irrigation and production, towards more basic subsistence farming methods that are highly dependent and fluctuating according to weather patterns. This is compounded by the slow uptake and under-utilisation of most former commercial farming land and inadequate access to key agricultural inputs and fuel for tillage. During the 2007/2008 agricultural season normal to above normal rains were experienced in most parts of the country. The onset of the rains was normal, followed by incessant rains in December and January. December 2007 set a new record as the wettest December ever recorded. The excessive rains disrupted land preparation, planting, weeding and application of fertilisers, causing water logging and leaching of soil nutrients in many parts of the country. At the beginning of February dry weather conditions set in across the whole country; Masvingo, Matabeleland South, southern parts of Manicaland, and Midlands were the worst affected. In general, the late crop suffered from moisture stress at the critical reproductive stages. Most parts of Mashonaland provinces continued to receive some rain after 1st February and, as a result the situation in these provinces is relatively good compared to the southern provinces. Generally, the season was characterised by a critical shortage of fertilisers and late availability of maize seed, to the extent that the 2007/2008 crop suffered severely from nutrient deficiency. Local production of maize seeds has fallen short of requirements. Initial production estimates stand well below 20,000 MTs, compared to 41,000 MTs available for the 2007/2008 season, representing less than 50% of the requirements. Local capacity to produce fertiliser is still very low, and it will be necessary to import considerable quantities of all key agricultural inputs (namely seed, fertilizer, spare parts, raw material and fuel). There is concern about the capacity of the Government to meet such requirements, owning to critical foreign currency shortages. Moreover, since timing of planting is the single most important controllable factor to increase yield, timing of input delivery must improve. In the past few seasons, the majority of farmers received inputs late, with the situation further worsening in 2007/08. In early May, the Crop and Food and Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) was conducted to verify the findings of the National Crop Assessment, with the findings released on 18 June. For a second consecutive year the Mission found that the combined impact of adverse weather, lack of timely availability of inputs and severe economic constraints in Zimbabwe have induced hardship and food insecurity among both rural and urban populations. The CFSAM found that national production of main season maize in 2008 is estimated at 575,000 MTs, some 28% lower than the production in 2007 (using the CFSAM estimate of 800,000 MTs) which in itself was some 44% below 2006 government estimate. The Mission estimates the total domestic cereal availability for 2008/09 marketing year at 848,000 MTs, about 40% below last year’s domestic supply. This includes a forecast production of winter wheat and additional production of maize from winter/early, peri-urban/urban and seed crops. With the total utilisation of cereals at about 2.080 million MTs including 1.875 million MTs for direct human consumption for the projected population of 11.8 million, the resulting cereal import requirement is estimated at 1.232 million MTs, of which the maize deficit accounts for about one million MTs.

Given the acute shortage of foreign currency, the dwindling export base, and high prices of maize in the region and internationally, the Mission estimates that total commercial cereal imports could be

about 850,000 MTs, leaving an uncovered deficit of about 380,000 MTs of maize. The Mission estimates that 2.04 million people in rural and urban areas will be food-insecure between July and September 2008, rising to 3.8 million people between October and peaking to about 5.1 million at the height of the hungry season between January and March 2009. The food-insecure population will require food assistance amounting to some 395,000 MTs of cereals in 2008/09. Additional foods such as oil and legumes, as well as supplementary foods will also be required to augment the higher needs of most vulnerable groups.

3.A.2 Food Aid

In addition to the climatic and systemic problems outlined in section 3.A.1 above, the food situation is compounded by the prolonged economic decline. In Zimbabwe, the high rate of inflation rapidly erodes purchasing power, hence the ability of households to secure food. The ongoing economic and structural deterioration also erodes the Government’s ability to cover a national food deficit. It is anticipated that the import capacity will be further constrained by the global increase in food prices. Between January and March 2008, the VGF programme reached at its peak an estimated 2.4 million beneficiaries with 84,036 MTs of food. In addition WFP continued with its Targeted Activities initiatives such as Home Based Care, School Feeding and support to Mobile and Vulnerable Populations, assisting an estimated 300,000 beneficiaries through the month of April. From May, WFP entered its new Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO 10595.0), a Zimbabwe specific programme that aims to assist some 1.8 million beneficiaries. A budget revision for the current programme is planned to meet the anticipated increased food requirements upon completion of 2008 CFSAM assessment. (See Upcoming 2008 Needs) Alongside WFP, CSAFE a consortium of United States-sponsored NGOs, during the January to March period assisted an estimated 1.4 million people with circa 31,000 MTs in both rural and urban districts. During the April-June period CSAFE will continue with a limited food distribution programme in areas with very high food insecurity. Upcoming Needs Food insecurity is expected to deepen in the upcoming food marketing year 2008/2009, in view of agricultural production decline, prolonged economic decline, and increasing political uncertainty. Early warning assessments such as the Ministry of Agriculture’s Second Round Crop and Livestock Assessment reported that the 2007/2008 summer season’s harvest for maize and small grains will only cover about 28% of national requirements. The findings of the WFP/FAO CFSAM (30 April – 23 May 2008) showed a serious decline in food availability and accessibility. Assessment observation suggests that a larger proportion of households have insufficient stocks to provide for their food needs and the introduction of negative coping strategies to meet household food requirements. In anticipation of a large scale response WFP is planning a budget revision that will be based on the recommendations of the WFP/FAO Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission. This will be targeted to an increase in the caseload, geographical coverage and in duration of the seasonal Vulnerable Group Feeding component of its current planning level for the 2008/2009 season. 3.A.3 Health

The strategic priorities in the 2008 CAP document remain relevant to the current period. The HIV/AIDS figures have changed, with the following table replacing the one in the response plan. Of interest could be that an estimated 15.7% of people in need of anti-retroviral therapy (ART) received first line therapy in 2007 and the prevalence rate has according to official statistics gone down to 15.6%.

Current humanitarian demands The post election period has been characterised by politically motivated violence in rural areas that has impacted negatively on the health sector. The already compromised health sector has had to accommodate displaced persons (estimated at 28,000 people) in very crowded and unhygienic conditions with inadequate shelter, water and sanitation; a majority of who had fled to cities to seek medical attention and refuge.

ZIMBABWE

13

The provision of health services like antiretrovirals (ARVs), TB treatment and medication and care for other chronic conditions among the displaced communities has been severely disrupted and needs to be corrected. There is therefore an urgent need for actions with medical supplies, as well as shelter, safe drinking water and sanitation in order to avert any further deterioration of the situation. The national health information system has deteriorated significantly in recent months, with timeliness and completeness of reports as low as 30%. This scanty health information cannot be used effectively to monitor disease trends. This is mainly due to lack of equipment (including computers and relevant software), internet connectivity, telephone lines, transport (especially motorcycles to visit rural health centres to collect data) and de-motivated health staff. A fifth objective therefore needs to be included to the four elaborated in the 2008 CAP: To improve the capacity of the national health information system in providing timely and complete health information. The increased food prices will aggravate the health and nutrition aspects of people already affected by the humanitarian situation not only because of increased acute and chronic malnutrition and related morbidity and mortality, but also aggravating infectious disease which will take a greater toll, leading to longer and more severe cases of diarrhoeal diseases and respiratory illnesses among children. Furthermore, people living with HIV/AIDS or tuberculosis will also be greatly affected by decreased access to required food as well as reduced access to health care and medication. For people living under the poverty line, the crisis also has an indirect effect on their access to basic health services since a large proportion of their health budget will go to food, leaving little or no mean to pay for transport and to purchase necessary drugs.

3.A.4 Nutrition

The main goals for the nutrition sector in 2008 are to prevent and control the deterioration of the nutritional situation, particularly in the most vulnerable population. Strategic priorities remain unchanged, and all objectives for the nutrition response plan for 2008 are still relevant in the current context. However, given the loss of livelihoods following the flood season, the current turmoil, food production deficit within the global food crisis, HIV/AIDS and degrading social support in both rural and urban communities, emergency preparedness and response need more strengthening to mitigate the effects of anticipated deterioration of the nutritional situation. Close monitoring of the situation thru’ nutrition surveillance will ensure timely actions for a coordinated response whenever and wherever actions are needed.

ZIMBABWE

14

Very little funding has been made available and only four out of twelve projects have been implemented. Consequently, expansion of and support to the community based nutrition care programme could not be made operational at the planned scale. Other activities to strengthen nutrition aspects of food security and livelihood, the capacity of households, communities and institutions to prevent and provide good quality care were also negatively affected. In the first half of 2008, support was provided to the community based management of acute malnutrition (CBMAM) to strengthen local capacity through training health professionals and link to opportunistic infections clinics and ART. This period until April corresponds to the peak hunger season which starts toward the end of the previous year and is often characterised by a high increase in malnutrition. Operating treatment centres received commodity support and the national guidelines are currently being reviewed. A training manual on community nutrition education (Healthy Harvest) developed by the Food and Nutrition Council, UNICEF and FAO will be rolled out to different organisations involved in nutrition programming, including home based care- HBC/OVC/ART and nutrition gardens. The Zimbabwe nutrition atlas (“Who is Doing What and Where”) is currently being updated for 2007/2008, and will provide a clear indication of coverage and gaps in initiatives, which will ensure better planning and coordination despite limited access during the second quarter of the year.

3.A.5 Water and Sanitation

Although in 2007/2008 the country received above average rainfall, this was not enough to provide adequate recharge of ground and surface water sources, and the country will continue to experience challenges in water supply during the 2008 dry season. In one Bulawayo city water supply reservoirs received approximately 70% of their normal capacity, but are still expected to experience shortages towards the end of the year. The situation will result in constant water cuts and rationing, affecting the larger segment of the population in the high density residential areas, where the most vulnerable reside. Humanitarian response has been adversely affected by the unavailability of essential supplies on the national market, necessitating off-shore procurement. In all urban areas the water supply and sanitation situation continues to deteriorate as water treatment chemicals are in serious short supply, limiting the amount of water being treated in urban areas. This has necessitated the introduction of water rationing, drastically reducing per capita water use. The recent centralisation of the management of urban water supply and sewage systems in the country has compounded the situation, resulting in a nationwide problem affecting all major towns and cities. Between January and end April 2008, the country had reported 982 cases of cholera and 129 deaths (case-fatality rate (CFR) - 13.1%) in five of the eight provinces, compared to 63 cases and three deaths (CFR 5%) in Harare and five rural districts reported between January and September 2007 (MOHCW Weekly Epidemiological reports). In addition, there were diarrhoea outbreaks in Bulawayo and Harare which spilled over from 2007 to 2008. The major factors associated with the outbreaks were poor water supply, sanitation and hygiene. This situation is likely to continue worsening unless urgent appropriate action is taken.

Sector objectives largely remain the same. However, with the advent of humanitarian reform, more emphasis is being placed on improving WASH Cluster co-ordination, humanitarian response, information management and sharing. There is a need to put more emphasis on urban areas. All essential emergency supplies now need to be pre-positioned as they are procured offshore. 3.A.6 Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFIs)

Shelter and NFIs are a significant component of the assistance provided to MVPs. As a result, the agreement reached at the CAP 2008 workshop to mainstream shelter and NFIs in the multi-sector activities concerned with ‘MVPs’ remains valid. Significant coordination progress has been made by the MVP Working Group in actively taking the issue on board and strengthening capacity with partners, in particular through trainings on Camp Coordination and Camp Management, is a priority. Shelter and NFIs is part of section 3.B.2 on MVPs. 3.A.7 Education

The education system in Zimbabwe deteriorated during the first six months of the year, affected by a combination of natural disasters, brain drain due to lack of motivation and poor remuneration, forced population movements in farming and peri-urban areas, political violence and tension in and around schools during the election period, deteriorating infrastructure, low public expenditure and high attrition of human resources.

ZIMBABWE

16

The violence and intimidation associated with the 2008 elections has seen teachers running away from their homes. Children have been equally affected and missed school as a result. This comes against a backdrop of teachers having not working due to poor remuneration at the beginning of the year. 2008 has been a wasted year for the education sector. More and more schools are experiencing shortages of essential supplies such as text books and teaching and learning materials. In the education system planning and management capacities continue to weaken. On the other hand, parents and guardians are equally affected by the ever increasing school fees and difficulties in accessing food. This has a negative impact on school attendance and constrains the realisation of the rights of Zimbabwean children to basic education; particularly affecting the estimated 1.6 million orphans and vulnerable children OVC and disabled children. The humanitarian activities in the education sector during the next six months of 2008 will continue to seek to mitigate the effects of natural and man-made disasters on the education sector. Activities outlined in the 2008 CAP will be carried out in close collaboration with complementary mechanisms such as the Programme of Support for OVC and the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM), as well as humanitarian organisation’s School Feeding Programme.

3.B MULTI-SECTOR PROGRAMMES

3.B.1 Cross-border Mobility and Irregular Migration

Provision of humanitarian assistance in the form of food, protection, transportation, basic health, information and awareness on safe migration and HIV/AIDS and temporary accommodation for returned migrants remains a strategic priority. Since May 2006, the Beitbridge Reception and Support Centre has been operational and assisting returned migrants seven days a week. A similar centre in Plum Tree opened at the end of May 2008 providing humanitarian assistance to Zimbabwean migrants returned from Botswana. The Labour Centre, which will help regulate and provide increased opportunities for legal employment of Zimbabweans initially on farms in Limpopo province, South Africa, will also commence its activities shortly. Much progress has been made towards achieving the objectives of the 2008 CAP, with assistance being offered to an average of over 10,250 returned migrants per month (68% of all returned migrants) in Beitbridge. Two SGBV workshops were held in Zimbabwe and Musina, South Africa to improve the level of knowledge and assistance for victims of SGBV crimes among border officials and police officers on both sides of the border. Over 100 officials have been trained and similar workshops will continue throughout the year. Stakeholders have committed to reduce the incidence of complaints among returned migrants who suffer abuse at the hands of the South African Police and Military during arrest and pre-return incarceration. As a result of the stakeholder meetings, pregnant women and unaccompanied children are now almost always returned separately from the general public, and South African police are increasingly insisting that irregular labourers are paid wages prior to

ZIMBABWE

17

deportation. This has led to a decrease in reporting of this type of injustice to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Protection Unit in Beitbridge. Strategic priorities remain the continued implementation of current activities (including those just started in Plumtree) as well as the implementation of an e-registration system which aims to identify trends and patterns among returned migrants and the Beitbridge Labour Centre, all of which require further donor support.

3.B.2 Mobile and Vulnerable Populations

Sporadic involuntary internal migration continued in 2007 adding to the increasing vulnerability of MVPs in Zimbabwe, among them those affected by the Government of Zimbabwe’s Operation Murambatsvina/Operation Restore Order in 2005 and the Fast Track Land Reform Programme, which began in 2000. The need for emergency response increased again towards the end of 2007 and early 2008 when low lying areas were affected by heavy floods, mainly in Muzarabani and Chipinge in the northwest and southeast of the country respectively. The scope of the humanitarian response has currently been expanded to assist victims of political violence in view of the March 2008 elections. In 2007 IOM, in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), began to mainstream gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and management in the response to MVPs, using the IASC guidelines for GBV actions in humanitarian settings. The capacity of local organisations working with MVPs to mainstream GBV in their actions continued to be strengthened. This kind of multi-sector partnerships has shown to be relevant for an integrated approach of the assistance to MVPs. Despite some restrictions on access placed on humanitarian actors more than 141,000 beneficiaries were assisted in 2007 through January 2008. While short-term assistance such as temporary shelter, food, water and sanitation was provided to MVPs, humanitarian actors faced difficulties in mobilising resources for transitional support aimed at helping these groups become less dependent on emergency assistance. The MVP working group is a key forum where different humanitarian actors participate in information sharing and coordination of the field activities and programme implementation strategies at national, provincial and district levels. Where necessary, MVP working group members participate in multi-sector needs assessments including those led by the Government of Zimbabwe and coordinated by OCHA. 3.B.3 The NGO Joint Initiative (JI) for Urban Zimbabwe

The over-arching goal of the NGO Joint Initiative (JI) for Urban Zimbabwe has remained the restoration of dignity and reduction of suffering for the most vulnerable in urban and peri-urban areas, while utilising and enhancing local capacities and resources. Phase I of the JI was extended until 28 February 2008, as programs were completed and support for Phase II was sought. Phase II funding is expected to come in May and activities will start late May, early June so no targets for Phase II (2008-2010) are currently met. JI Phase II was originally envisioned as a scaled up version of Phase I, however funding constraints have required that the JI continue at a similar scale to Phase I. In light of this, and although needs have been on the increase, budgets and targets have been revised to fit available resources.

ZIMBABWE

18

Main activities and outcomes remain the same with the deletion of the shelter component. The JI continues to seek funding for Phase II activities and is ready to scale up to meet needs if sufficient funding is acquired. 3.B.4 Refugees

The year started on a bad note, with floods causing a lot of damage in the Tongogara refugee camp ranging from the water and sanitation infrastructure, Health and educational facilities and supplies, food, livelihoods and NFIs in the camp. A number of UN Agencies and NGOs, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and the Government came to the rescue through varied actions. The deepening economic and social situation in the country has also affected delivery of assistance to refugees, with the urban based population being the worst affected as they do not receive material assistance from the programme. This had led to an increase in the number of urban population relocating to the camp, meaning increased numbers to be catered for there. Prices of goods and services continue to sky-rocket and there with no signs of improvement. Furthermore, the global increase in food prices will create funding gaps in the programme. The above situation calls for additional resources to cover the gaps. The relocation of the asylum reception centre and work of the Zimbabwe Refugee Committee (ZRC) from Harare to Tongogara Camp at the end of February 2008 was an unplanned and untimely development. This has not only disrupted the asylum procedure and impacted the overall protection of refugees, but has also called for additional resources to put up new infrastructure and logistics to facilitate the re-establishment of the refugee status determination system in a new environment. Given that the Government has not yet opened up for local integration policy the office will, together with the Government of Zimbabwe office of the Commissioner for Refugees, continue to host refugees and asylum seekers, provide international protection and explore appropriate durable solutions such as voluntary repatriation and resettlement.

All receive protection and chance for dignified and safe stay in host country; 3,127 receive other assistance including I/G.

While the above has been achieved so far, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) will need additional resources to fully meet the needs of asylum-seekers and refugees, For example setting up the appropriate asylum reception procedures in the Tongogara refugee camp and responding to the related logistical needs of the Government/ZRC is likely to overstretch the existing resources. Similarly, given the lack of availability of the local integration and ongoing global food crisis, UNHCR considers expansion of the scheme allowing for refugees’ use of agricultural land in order to strengthen their food security. Such activities would also require additional resources.

3.C CROSS-CUTTING AREAS

3.C.1 Protection/Human Rights/Rule of Law

Human rights violations and political violence in Zimbabwe has since the March 29 election taken a new and sinister trend, with reports of increased intimidation and harassment of civil society actors and increasing acts of politically violence perpetuated mainly, but not exclusively, on perceived or actual supporters of the opposition allegedly by youth groups, war veterans and sympathisers linked mostly to political parties and in some cases, state security apparatus. Currently, there are, at least, 36 reported cases of fatalities and about 2,000 victims of acts of political motivated violence, including

ZIMBABWE

19

beatings, lootings and arson and criminal damage/destruction of property and livestock, resulting in a serious humanitarian situation for thousands of people. An estimated 28,000 people were displaced by the political violence and thousands of people have suffered violence in various forms. Access to undertake needs assessments and provide assistance has remained a major challenge, and has severely curtailed the ability of humanitarian partners to comprehensively respond to the crisis. There is a marked improvement from the previous year on protection coordination. A better understanding of the magnitude of the protection concerns in the country and the underlying causal factors has been established. A Protection Working Group (PWG) with clear Terms of Reference, is meeting on a monthly basis, with ad-hoc meetings and consultation done as necessary. The Working Group is comprised of key donors, UN agencies, NGOs and representatives from civil society. PWG meetings are chaired on a rotational basis among the members, with OCHA as the secretariat, and has identified and prioritised key protection issues in the country. Major priority areas were identified as the humanitarian needs and vulnerabilities in state institutions (prisons, government orphanages, government special schools, Mental hospitals), legal identities (statelessness, birth certificates for children, travel documentation), human trafficking, SGBV, people denied assistance for political or other reasons), and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS. Extensive trainings and workshops were given on SGBV, HIV/AIDS, and trafficking to local authorities, implementing partners, and other key stakeholders, as well as within refugee and displacement settings. SGBV actions among MVPs were scaled up through community and leadership sensitisation on forms of GBV, GBV prevention and management, counselling services and the establishment of a referral for GBV services amongst GBV survivors. Protection issues are now systematically embedded into the operations and programs of all partners. Training on international protection for refugees delivered to key Government stakeholders in December 2007, and training on how to mainstream child protection into their sectors, was given to 60 international NGOs and partners. Significant improvement in collating and exchanging information has been observed, and a better referral system for victims of political violence has been established. A needs assessment of cross border migrants was conducted. Registration of migrant, which incorporates the capture of key biographical data such as age and sex, is done on a continuous basis and includes the identification and profiling of vulnerable individuals such as unaccompanied and separated children. In response to the need for urgent and updated information sharing during the post-election crisis, the working group is meeting on a weekly basis and is contributing protection and human rights updates for the weekly Situation Reports. A protection monitoring matrix is prepared and updated weekly, and hotspot areas for violence and displacements are mapped. A list of medical, legal, psycho-social, and other urgent humanitarian assistance providers was compiled and shared among partners. However, much work needs to be done to establish networks at the community level to ensure protection structures are put in place and to strengthen engagement with the government through trainings and advocacy to protect vulnerable populations from violence. Strong liaison and partnership with the Office of the High Commission for Human Rights (currently without presence in Zimbabwe) and other key stakeholders must be established to address the ongoing human right violations and to establish structures and mechanisms to prevent similar violence for the second half of the year. While the initiative to adopt a semi-permanent rotational leadership of the PWG between working group members will certainly enhance the delivery of results on goals and objectives, a clear sector lead for protection needs to be identified and opportunities explored for establishing a fully functioning protection cluster by the end of the year.

3.C.2 Sustainable Livelihoods at Community Level

The coping capacities of communities that the sector seeks to strengthen continue to be eroded due to socio-economic and political challenges. The government, particularly through the Reserve Bank (RBZ), has made efforts to try and rejuvenate sustainable livelihoods at the micro and macro level with financial support and concessions. However, success has been limited due to Zimbabwe’s hyper-inflation, as well as the negative impact of HIV/AIDS on the workforce. The loss of trained and skilled manpower to neighbouring countries has also negatively impacted the efforts and desire to move away from relief assistance to early recovery and sustainable livelihoods. Zimbabwe faces unfavourable economic conditions evident in the shortage of foreign currency and hyperinflation, resulting in reduced productivity, loss of employment, challenging trading environments, and ultimately more people falling into the vulnerable group. Climatological developments, including rainfall patterns and natural disasters, have also been unfavourable thus stalling agriculture and destroying what people had grown. Social safety nets are under serious strain or non-functional. As a result, many people have joined the informal sector, which is actively discouraged by city authorities and the police. Bouts of violence during the 2008 election period resulted in many people loosing their homes, granaries and sources of livelihood. Efforts to assist the affected population have not been very effective as the government suspended the work of all NGOs in the same period. As a result, the effort to enhance community-based self-reliance by enabling populations to deal more effectively with risks and vulnerabilities continues to face huge challenges.

3.D COORDINATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES

3.D.1 Coordination and Support Services

The deterioration of the economical and political situation in Zimbabwe has increased the need for a higher level of coordination of humanitarian response. To this end, OCHA has facilitated the activation of weekly humanitarian technical coordination meetings with the participation of all humanitarian partners in order to share operational experiences and best practises. As well, a common country analysis of the situation and challenges faced currently and beyond the elections is being undertaken and updated regularly. In the same vein, the 2008 Contingency Plan has been updated to reflect the dynamics in the humanitarian context and needs. These initiatives are complimented by an up-scaled set of coordination outputs that include weekly situation reports and regular maps on access, assistance provided and violence. Furthermore, a crisis team has been established to give impetus to appropriate and adequate collection of information, analysis and response. In addition, focus on improving the relationship between the Government and the humanitarian community at-large, through transparent dialogue, joint assessments and two-way sharing of information, remains a priority. This has become even more important with the suspension of NGO operations during the election period. The facilitation for improved operational space for the humanitarian community will also remain a key priority, particularly in order to avoid politicisation of the provision of aid. In Zimbabwe, five clusters have been activated in early 2008 namely WATSAN, health, nutrition, emergency telecoms and agriculture. OCHA will support clusters in translating the activation into action. Tools and mechanisms such as the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), the CAP, Flash Appeals and the Zimbabwe Emergency Response Fund will be transparently implemented in

ZIMBABWE

order to ensure that the most vulnerable populations are assisted. The OCHA Field Office will continue to work in support of the Humanitarian Coordinator and the IASC members and the wider humanitarian community in seeking to ensure a coordinated response to the challenges that will arise.

4. CONCLUSION

In view of the continued deterioration of the economy, crumbling social infrastructure, large deficit in agricultural production and displacement of persons due to election violence, Zimbabwe will require increased humanitarian assistance in 2008 and 2009. The humanitarian community will require more donor support to be able to assist the most vulnerable population which includes: orphaned vulnerable children, people living with HIV & AIDS, mobile vulnerable populations, people moving across borders, and people in need of food assistance and livelihood support. The IASC country team together with the humanitarian community plans to continue to work with the Government to ensure access to populations in need and to undertake vital inter-agency assessments and analyses to address the needs of the vulnerable people in 2009. Towards this, Zimbabwe will require a Consolidated Appeal in 2009 to address both the immediate and mid-term needs of the population to reduce increasing vulnerabilities.

impoverished and vulnerable populations of drought prone areas through a combined Food Security and Water and Sanitation approach.

Beneficiaries FS Component: 532 households (3,192 beneficiaries) Implementing Partner ICRISAT as technical partner Project Duration July 2008 – June 2011 Total Project Budget $1,980,000 Funds Requested for 2008 $660,000 Contact Details Alexandre Le Cuziat -Head of Mission -ACF - Zimbabwe

[email protected] / Cell.: 011 869 614 Needs i. Food availability problems are characterised not only by poor yields, but also by a low diversity

in production and a poor market supply. The project will contribute to addressing these problems by providing the means and training (1) to use conservation agriculture methods, (2) to establish nutrition gardens promoting a diversified diet and healthy cooking and (3) to improve linkages with the market.

ii. The food access problem is caused by insufficient income opportunities and chronic cash shortages. The project will promote income generating activities based on the surplus of the gardens and other income opportunities in the area.

In accordance with CAP objectives, the project will directly contribute to an improved food security with the promotion of conservation farming principles and nutrition gardening by increasing household self-sufficiency. Besides, food security and livelihood of the households will be assessed and monitored using the Household Economy Approach methodology in ACF areas of action. ACF will join the consortium already existing of NGOs using the household economy approach (HEA) livelihood framework. Activities

• Support of 12 lead farmers during the first season with introduction of alternative and sustainable agricultural practices (conservation agriculture); provision of seeds, fertilizer and tools for the development of conservation farming;

• Support or/and strengthening of 450 households through community nutritional gardens. Distribution of winter and summer kit; Training on garden cultivation techniques, focusing on low input and environmental friendly techniques, and healthy cooking.

Outcomes

• 532 households (3,192 beneficiaries) will have their food security and nutrition enhanced through the increase of sustainable production and income generation.

• Food security and livelihood of the households are assessed and monitored in at least one district.

Needs analysis The project intends to analyse various key aspects of food and agriculture policy processes in the country with the aim of identifying policy deficiencies and providing appropriate recommendations. The fact that Zimbabwe has increasingly become food-insecure since the turn of the new millennium is self evident. It is therefore critical that the debate among stakeholders is focused (through policy dialogue) on the nature and scale of agricultural production decline. As much as stop-gap measures such as food aid are important, the food security debate needs to be broadened to include the identification of causes and long term remedies to this agrarian malaise. Activities

• Undertaking a comprehensive and critical review of the country’s agriculture and food security policies and strategies since independence through desktop reviews and field research;

• Conducting policy dialogue seminars in which stakeholders debate on the food security issue; • Data collection on agricultural performance (cropped areas, yields and outputs) of food crops

and livestock to determine production trends since 2000; • Production of policy briefs on the food security situation and best practices for sustainable food

security in Zimbabwe. Outcomes

• Policy briefs from the agriculture and food security studies; • Policy advice on best practices for attainment and sustenance of food security in Zimbabwe; • A proposed comprehensive food security policy/strategy document for Zimbabwe; • A sounding body (for policy advice) on all food security issues in the country.

Needs analysis The current downward trend in unit production is a cause of concern to the agricultural sector. It is evident that input support only to farmers is not enough to improve food security situation of farmers. There is need for more rigorous farmer training and extension support to improve their crop management skills. The community’s livelihoods are mainly limited to crop production only, there is need to broaden these livelihoods options to improve community resilience to shocks such as droughts and floods. Small livestock is one of the easier options of building community livelihood diversity. The project seeks to assist farmers with inputs in the short term while in medium to long term the project will seek to improve crop production and management standards, enhance soil and water conservation, reduce the effects of poor rainfall distribution by capturing infield rain water, Improve local access to seeds through seed multiplication, Improve cash returns from agricultural production through value addition processes and widening livelihood options for vulnerable groups through promotion of small livestock production. Activities The project will focus on the following activities: • Seed and fertilizer distribution to vulnerable households for the 2008/09 season; • Support of farmers in dry areas with small grain and legume production; • Training of farmers in seed multiplication of OPV maize, small grains and legumes; • Support of farmers with agro-processing options for legumes and promote marketing of

processed products rather than unprocessed crops; • Training of farmers in conservation farming and in field rain water harvesting; • Support of vulnerable households with small livestock and training on rearing. Outcomes

• Improved organisational and technical capacity of poor farmers to increase crop productivity; • Increased capacity of poor farmers to generate income through processing of legumes; • Improved production and marketing of small grains by vulnerable farmers; • Improved asset base of targeted vulnerable OVC households through small livestock rearing.

Contact Details Mr. E. Raradza – Chairman of Board of Trustees Tel.: 04/744 437. E-mail: [email protected]

Needs analysis The PRA study (commissioned by PSDC and conducted by Green Living Movement) found out that the major problems experienced by the small-scale farmers in Muzarabani District are: • Serious environmental problems (deforestation and land degradation), inadequate water

resources, use of unsustainable farming practices, inadequate or non-existent extension services, devastating effects of HIV/AIDS on production levels and disorganised farmer groups;

• These problems identified leave the Muzarabani communities exposed/vulnerable to hunger and poverty – in a bid to alleviate their poverty, farmers resort to unsustainable use of natural resources which leads eventually to an increased and more dramatic level of food insecurity;

• Muzarabani farmers expressed a strong need for training in economically and environmentally sustainable farming practices, in management of crops, livestock and nutrition gardens;

• PSDC training activities aim primarily at increasing the food security and the income at household level through the economically and ecologically sustainable use of available natural resources. Increased food security and income will render the rural households socio-economically self-reliant.

Activities

• Extensive technical training in sustainable management of crops, live stock and (nutrition) gardens;

• Training in entrepreneurial skills (i.e. general farm management, marketing and value addition); • Training in social life skills (i.e. HIV/AIDS prevention & home-based care, primary health care

and gender); • Provision of extension services to all farmers through follow-up visits and refresher courses; • Capacity building of Farmers’ Committees (towards programme sustainability); • Development of effective planning, monitoring, evaluation and reporting systems. Outcomes Small-scale farmers acquire and use appropriate sustainable farming practices so that they can increase their food / livelihood and level of self-reliance (reducing their level of dependency on external assistance and input for survival.

• Major problems faced by Zimbabwe’s rural communities are the worsening poverty levels, now estimated at 80% and the rising impact of HIV/AIDS pandemic leading to some child headed households;

• To curtail this problem Zimbabwe Farmers Development Trust embarked on a project to assist rural communities in beekeeping as a way of sustainable development whereby assisted communities start with few beehives, growing as they get trained. They then sell their raw honey to Zimbabwe Farmers Development Trust which has two processing plants located in the rural regions of Manicaland and Mashonaland West provinces. The farmers’ use their earnings for their day-to-day upkeep;

• The project increases disposable incomes to households and at the same time it is an employment creation venture with both youths and adults involved.

Activities

• Strengthening of honey production and management structures at grassroots levels; • Expanding Zimbabwe Farmers Development Trust agricultural extension services to reach new

beekeepers; • Providing intensive training in improved beekeeping methods among farmers; • Assisting farmers to diversify crop production into sunflowers and soya beans that provide

forage for bees. Outcomes

• Increased honey production earning farmers more money thereby improving lifestyles; • Employment creation for all levels of people – men, women and youths; • Empowerment of rural communities into self reliance and reduce donor dependency.

$1,637,635

Needs analysis The Zimbabwe National Health Information and Surveillance System collect a wide range of data at different levels of health care which provide critical health indicators. Recent assessments have shown a continued decline in completeness and timely submission of data at national level during the quarter of the year (average timeliness 34-42% and average completeness average 49 – 65%). This has been mainly due to inadequate training of health workers in computer skills and data management. The problem is compounded by poor equipment which includes broken down computers, fax machines and non functional communication equipment (radio communication and telephones) at health facilities and low staff morale. Lack of timely submission of accurate data affects the diseases outbreak early warning systems, detection and early response, leading to high case fatality rates. It has been observed that most deaths occur in the community, making it imperative to equip community groups with skills in outbreak detection and management. During epidemics and other disasters the data is not always used in decision making. Activities

• Train health workers in computer skills and data management in emergency situation; • Support updating of mapping of health facilities through GPS and train users in GIS concepts; • Procure radio communication equipment and spares; • Expansion and maintenance of e-mail and internet connectivity to the most vulnerable districts; • Procurement of computer consumables and accessories for data transmission; • Strengthen the reporting, documentation and sharing of outbreaks information; • Monitoring and evaluation of health information management system; • Train community based groups in outbreak detection at community level. Outcomes

• Improved timeliness and completeness of the weekly surveillance data; • Timely detection and response to outbreaks using the weekly surveillance system; • Functional communication equipment at all levels; • Timely production of bulletins and publications, provision of regular feedback, the detection,

mapping and documentation of epidemics.

Summary Dealing with the reduction of child mortality and prevention of disease outbreaks, the Zimbabwe Expanded Programme on Immunisation (ZEPI) is a priority for the MoHCW as it contributes hugely to the reduction of childhood mortality, thereby addressing the Millennium Development Goal 4. Donors have responded through UNICEF for the procurement of vaccines, injection safety materials and other logistics. Transport and fuel shortage has crippled the outreach services making it difficult for the hard to reach areas access immunisation services. High staff attrition of experienced staff, which is being replaced by inexperienced staff, is one of the major reasons for poor performance. The 2005-06 Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Survey has reported a 75% increase in the number of children who have not received any vaccination and a decline of 21% in the number of children who received all the recommended vaccines. There is need to continue supporting ZEPI to sustain and further improve coverage and hence the need for this appeal. Activities

• Procurement of cold chain equipment; • Repair and refurbishment of 61 vehicles for outreach use; • Child Health Days Campaign; • Training of health workers on immunisation issues; • Monitoring and evaluation. Outcome Over 95% children under one and 80% women of child bearing age immunised against the seven vaccine preventable diseases, thus reducing childhood mortality.

MULTI-SECTOR Appealing Agency THE JUSTICE FOR AGRICULTURE TRUST(JAG) Zimbabwe Project Title Farm worker displacement: psychosocial support and rehabilitation

project. Project Code ZIM-08/MS12 (New) Sector Multi-sector Objective To provide psycho-social assistance to farm workers affected by

the “fast-track” land reform process Beneficiaries Former farm-workers and their families will be the direct

beneficiaries of this project. While some 1.75 million men, women and children, were/are victims of conflict on the former commercial farms will also, to some extent, benefit. District: Nationwide

Project Duration June 2008 - May 2011 Total Project Budget $600,000 Funds Requested for 2008 $100,000 Contact Details P. Purcell Gilpin, Tel: 4-799410, 011861726

email: [email protected] Needs analysis Former commercial farm-workers affected by the “fast track” land reform process have suffered enormous damages and losses and are subject to on-going alienation, persecution and exclusion. Their livelihoods have been devastated by the loss of employment, social amenities and, for some, their citizenship. Political expediency has seen the rights of these people largely ignored. The approximately 350,000 farm-worker families violently evicted from commercial farms beginning in 2000 have never received compensation, restitution or rehabilitation. An on-going project to seek fair treatment and social justice for farm-worker families through a nationwide data gathering exercise is in place, however many need psychosocial support, resilience training, empowerment and healing. This project seeks to conduct “Tree of life” group counselling and empowerment for those suffering from trauma. Activities

• Liaise closely with the General Agriculture and Plantation Workers Union of Zimbabwe to identify people in need;

• Conduct facilitator training workshops for ex farm-workers; • Conduct “Tree of Life” counselling and healing workshops; • Advocate for redress. Expected Outcomes

• Stories as to the full extent of workers losses and violation of their rights recorded; • Emotional healing and empowerment provided; • People’s rights and built confidence for victims to achieve these goals addressed; • Redress and restitution of worker losses facilitated; • Input into a transparent, empowering, sustainable and inclusive land reform process provided.

Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP)

The CAP is a tool for aid organisations to jointly plan, coordinate, implement and monitor their response to disasters and emergencies, and to appeal for funds together instead of competitively. It is the forum for developing a strategic approach to humanitarian action, focusing on close cooperation between host governments, donors, NGOs, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, International Organization for Migration (IOM), and United Nations agencies. As such, it presents a snapshot of the situation and response plans, and is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of: • Strategic planning leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP); • Resource mobilisation leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal; • Coordinated programme implementation; • Joint monitoring and evaluation; • Revision, if necessary; • Reporting on results. The CHAP is the core of the CAP – a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region, including the following elements: • A common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place; • An assessment of needs; • Best, worst, and most likely scenarios; • A clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals; • Prioritised response plans, including a detailed mapping of projects to cover all needs; • A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary. The CHAP is the core of a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break out or natural disasters strike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, and in consultation with host Governments and donors, the CHAP is developed at the field level by the Humanitarian Country Team. This team includes IASC members and standing invitees (UN agencies, the International Organisation for Migration, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR), but non-IASC members, such as national NGOs, can also be included. The Humanitarian Coordinator is responsible for the annual preparation of the consolidated appeal document. The document is launched globally near the end of each year to enhance advocacy and resource mobilisation. An update, known as the Mid-Year Review, is presented to donors the following July. Donors generally fund appealing agencies directly in response to project proposals listed in appeals. The Financial Tracking Service (FTS), managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is a database of appeal funding needs and worldwide donor contributions, and can be found on www.reliefweb.int/fts. In sum, the CAP is how aid agencies join forces to provide people in need the best available protection and assistance, on time.
