stationery to enhance the quality of primary and secondary education according to section 75 of the Constitution is one of its duties. Furthermore there is need to create early childhood educational facilities that are accessible in terms of cost and distance especially for the tender age group. e. ZHRC recommends that in accordance with article 9(2) (c) of the Kampala Convention, The Ministry of Health and Child Welfare should enact domestic law that protects IDPs’ right to health. In particular, such legislation should comply with the Minimum Essential Element by incorporating abilities and needs, and the UN Guiding Principles in providing for the protection of the rights of vulnerable groups within the IDP community, including the sexual health of displaced women and psycho- social support for individuals subject to the increased threat of gender-based violence and sexual assault as a result of their displacement. Such law should obligate the ministry to provide IDPs with access to treatment rather than placing the onus on IDPs to source their own treatment. Also the ministry should include in the mandate of the IDP focal institution, the responsibility for ensuring that health services available to the general population are provided to IDPs in cases where IDPs cannot easily access such services, and the particular health vulnerabilities that accompany displacement are addressed by the national health legislation and policy. f. Section 77(a) of the Constitution provides that every person (including IDPs) has a right to safe, clean and potable water. ZHRC recommends that the policy makers should enact legislation with specific section on IDPs within communities to ensure they have access to water supplies allocated that area by public or private authorities. Also the Ministry of Water and Environment through Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) at most minimum and regardless of the circumstances and without discrimination provide and ensure safe access to potable water, and sanitation in accordance with Principle 18(a) and (d) of the UN Guiding Principles.
