The Zero Hunger Strategic Review Report aims to refocus attention on the critical issues needed to accelerate the attainment of zero hunger in Zimbabwe. This Report is a result of a thorough review of existing literature, field visits and extensive consultations at various levels by the research team consisting of Prof. Charles Muchemwa Nherera, Dr. Tendai NhengaChakarisa, Mrs. Julia Tagwireyi and Dr. Mabel Hungwe under the leadership of Prof. Hope Sadza of the Women’s University in Africa. The Report explains the UN Secretary General’s global Zero Hunger Challenge and contextualises it for Zimbabwe. It provides an overview of the food and nutrition security situation in the country and establishes an understanding of the country’s demographics and socio economic context. It compares the provisions of the Zero Hunger Challenge with the prevailing situation regarding food and nutrition security, and outlines the causes of hunger in the country and presents the key drivers of food and nutrition security. The Report extensively reviews relevant statutes, protocols and frameworks at national, regional and global level that underpin Zimbabwe’s response to food and nutrition security. It highlights the key national responses to food and nutrition security by Government and non-state actors and articulates the gaps and opportunities in achieving zero hunger in Zimbabwe.
