Social infrastructure and services in Zimbabwe
FARUQEE, R. | DEDPH
The Black majority government of Zimbabwe, coming to power after a long struggle for independence, has announced its strong commitment to social services to benefit the vast majority of the population. In education, two ethnically separate systems will have to be effectively amalgamated, and more basic educational programs for the tribal lands population will have to be designed. This calls for a dramatic increase in the number of qualified teachers, possible only through a crash training program. In health, there has to be significant extension of services in tribal areas within the framework of a primary health care system. In housing, low-cost shelter programs in the urban areas should be closely linked with rural development strategies to create new urban centers in tribal areas. This paper looks at these issues and outlines the prospects. Specific plans and resource requirements are also reviewed.
