An in-depth Study on the impacts of Operation Murambatsvina
Medium term policy support
1. Legislation review to support informal sector activities and restore income
security for affected families that constituted 73% of the respondents in this
study.
2. Inclusive planning and recovery process to ensure appropriate, pro-poor and
people-centred recovery and rehabilitation process.
3. The Government of Zimbabwe should be accountable for the upholding of
civil and human rights for all affected households.
4. Greater donor response to the humanitarian imperative, and support to civil
society response programmes for more effective coverage.
5. Deliberate scaling up of access to information and awareness to ensure that
affected households are informed of their entitlements and where to secure
them.
Regrettably, these recommendations have been almost wholly ignored by the Zimbabwe
Government, as have been the recommendations of the UN Special Envoy. The Zimbabwe
Government persists in claiming the necessity for the Operation, denies the adverse
consequences of the Operation, and continues with forced displacements, despite stating
that the Operation was complete.
