- Description:
- This paper summarises Zimbabwe's legacy in both health (or disease) and health services. It then examines the changes in the economic environment which have taken place in Zimbabwe since independence in April 1980, concentrating on those which are relevant to health. It also describes the post independence restructuring of the health sector itself. Access to health care and some aspects of the functioning of the referral system are also briefly dealt with. The questions of community participation in health and accountability of health workers, both central to the Primary Health Care (PHQ approach, are addressed by a brief discussion of the Village Health Worker (VHW) programme. The relevance of this example for the health sector as a whole is briefly examined. Finally, the paper considers some changes which have taken place in health status since independence and attempts to analyse the sources of these.

- Description:
- Poverty, due in part to the lack of economic self-sufficiency, has been recognised as one of the key impediments in the empowerment of women in Africa. Although Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) have been frequently criticised, they have more often played a facilitating and leadership role as catalysts in empowerment and development in relation to the socioeconomic needs of women in poverty. Zimbabwe Women Finance Trust (ZWFT), a micro credit NGO, provides vivid illustration of financial assistance and educational and emotional support provided to women entrepreneurs. The goal is to expand women's opportunities through the promotion of access to and participation in economic processes and, thereby, larger social structures. By helping improve the socioeconomic circumstances and self-reliance of women, NGOs such as ZWFT are simultaneously strengthening African society.
