HRW Background briefing |
| Abstract |
Zimbabweans’ access to food in 2004-05 could be threatened on multiple fronts. In May 2004, the government of Zimbabwe told international donors that their general food aid is not needed. Harare has stated that it expects a bumper harvest in 2004-5. Representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), United Nations (U.N.) agencies and donor countries feel, however, that Harare has over-stated this year’s crop yield and that a large number of rural and urban Zimbabweans will require assistance as the year progresses. This briefing paper is a follow up to the Oct 2003 report "Not Eligible: The Politicization of Food in Zimbabwe". It finds that the situation has improved somewhat, though cause for concern remains, given the lack of verifiable information concerning grain supplies and the government’s decision not to renew its appeal for international food assistance.
