Lessons Learned & Best Practices

Issue: Reporting on the impact of COVID-19

Year: 2021Income Group: Lower middle incomeSource: VNR
Finding: Responding to COVID 19 challenges to collect data through face-to-face interviews, the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency partnered with the World Bank and UNICEF to design the "Rapid PICES Monitoring Telephone Survey," a high-frequency telephone household survey to measure national socio-economic impacts of the pandemic. Based on two survey rounds conducted between July and December 2020, the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency launched the "Zimbabwe COVID-19 Monitoring Dashboard" publicly on its website (https://zimbabwe.opendataforafrica.org/jfrsplc/covid-19)

Issue: Engaging vulnerable groups

Year: 2017Income Group: Low incomeSource: VNR
Finding: Following the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, the Ministry of Macro-Economic Planning and Investment Promotion launched consultative processes to prepare Zimbabwe SDG Position Paper. A group of persons with disabilities played an active role in the consultation, and disability became a cross-cutting issue in the country's second VNR. The support required by persons with disabilities is reflected in measures addressing gender equity promotion, access to safe, clean, and potable water, and fighting food insecurity. The VNR report also highlighted the challenge of increasing data disaggregation related to persons with disabilities.
