Title   Community assessment of the food situation in Zimbabwe April 2003

Serial Monitoring report round 7 April 2003
Abstract Fosenet monitoring for April 2003 is drawn from 151 monitoring reports from 58 districts from all provinces of Zimbabwe, with an average of 2,6 reports per district. This round highlights that the economic, social, political and institutional factors undermining household food production and food access are by no means resolved. Relief has mitigated these problems, but has not solved them. While community social action is yielding some returns in making local food distribution fairer and more accountable, this needs to be backed by stronger measures at all levels to deal with production costs and inputs, ensuring the transparent and effective performance of the GMB, the control of price speculation and ensuring participation and accountability in co-ordination of food security at local and national level.
