ActionAid International Southern Africa Partnership Programme (SAPP-Zimbabwe) Psychologically affected (traumatised) Almost 35% of respondents interviewed claimed that they had been traumatized by the graphic, detailed and heavy handedness of the implementers of the Operations. From the analysis done, this was generally the same across board. Monetary value lost by communities in the studied population Sample Projected From these results almost population population ZW$500 billion ZW$ ZW$ (US$29,5 million) Harare was reported to Bulawayo 46,381,457,000 185,526,000,000 have been lost as Mutare 38,748,900,000 154,996,000,000 a direct result of Kariba 23,702,670,000 94,801,680,000 the operation in Beitbridge 3,587,700,000 75,341,700,0005 five of the six Victoria Falls 9,712,700,000 38,850,800,000 urban centres Overall 122,132,027,000 488,534,000,000 covered in the study. This excludes the Harare data, where over 60% of the affected resided. Furthermore, 30% of the respondents said they were not able to quantify in dollar terms how much they had lost. Therefore the figures presented here a just a drop as to exactly quantify the amounts individuals had invested before the Operation. 4 Coping mechanisms adopted by households Currently, only 49% households reported that they were using their own resources to sustain the family. A further 24% claimed to be getting assistance from relatives, whilst government, community based organizations and non-governmental organizations accounted for a mere 6%. Generally all the 5 vulnerable categories scored large proportions in the not managing response (plus 20%) Assistance currently being received Of those that reported receiving assistance from the various sources, the following categories are the nature of assistance being received; food (18%), shelter (17%), monetary (7%), education for children (6%), relocation (4%), psycho-social support (9%) and legal help (4%). This clearly suggests that there are major gaps in the support that is being offered to the communities. Due to the sampling of a third, these figures are subsequently multiplied by 3. Due to problems encountered in sampling we only managed to a small sample as opposed to 1400, only 250 were survey. Therefore this figure was multiplied by 7 then 3. 4 5 Zimbabwe Operation Murambatsvina/Restore Order National Survey Report vii
