Abstract:
Post-2000 Zimbabwean literature in English demonstrates an unprecedented fascination with the child narrator. While there is some precedence for the use of child narrators or narratives that focus on child experiences to grapple with sociopolitical issues, the wide extent to which this style has been used post-2000 is unparalleled. The post-2000 socioeconomic crisis in Zimbabwe has clear victims; however, owing to the intensely polarized perspectives on its origins and nature, the identity of the victimizers is not so clear and is in fact hotly contested and politicized. As typical and “known” victims, their victimization can furtively reveal and reflect on their victimizers and in the process subtly expose them for knowing. This form of “knowing” transcends a mere discernment of the victimizers’ physical identities; it goes to the heart of their motives, apparent and subterranean political objectives, and means of attaining them. Victim child characters are often used symbolically to represent the weak and vulnerable members of society who are exploited as political fodder by the powerful. The symbolic children are seen to be caught in between the political goals and strategies of the powerful, and their victimization reveals overt and covert markings of their political abuse. This makes child-narrated or child-centred narratives possible sites to encounter the nexus between children’s victimization and the underhand methods of creating and sustaining political hegemony. This article explores this connection, particularly focusing on the aesthetic subtlety with which child-centred or child-focused narratives proffer a counter-discursive discourse which unsettles the dominant narratives presently given of victims and victimizers in a post-2000 Zimbabwean context.

Abstract:
The study explored storytelling strategies used by teachers to facilitate children’s development of story comprehension. Seven educators and forty-four preschoolers, aged three to five years, participated in the study at a primary school situated in Masvingo, Zimbabwe. Learners listened to six cultural stories randomly selected from different genres that included fables, myths, and legends. A Grounded Theory approach to data gathering and analysis was used to develop the ‘recycling of knowledge’ theory. Findings suggested that ‘recycling of knowledge’ served as the primary social process, which provided teachers with the most effective strategies for improving children’s comprehension of stories. The study recommended that Early Childhood Development (ECD) educators should implement strategies involved in the recycling of knowledge theory to improve children’s early literacy and story comprehension.

Abstract:
<p>Cash transfer based social protection can potentially contribute positively upon targeted beneficiaries on a variety of developmental aspects. This study explored the pilot and scaled-up phases of the Harmonised Social Cash Transfer program to determine impacts towards improving under-eight children’s access to food, education, and health services. Stories of significant change were gathered in retrospect from purposively sampled caregivers and children beneficiaries. Based on thematic and guided analysis, it emerged that the programmes’ theoretical and practical approaches renders the interventions less effective as impact assessment is narrowed to the early childhood cohort. This is furthered by relatively insufficient size of grants disbursed per household and commodity supply-side challenges. Consequently, a review to theoretical and practical tenets of the cash transfer approach becomes imminent in the Zimbabwean context. Targeting criteria needs refinement and supplemented with policy and multi-faceted public investment to address underlying limitations to impact on young children. </p>

Abstract:
This study investigated the lived experiences of children from a primary school in the Gweru region of Zimbabwe, whose parents were either separated or divorced. The study was undertaken to ascertain how these learners are psychologically and academically affected by their family situations. The data were gathered using narrative stories, personal narrative diary entries, and interviews. The study was qualitative in nature and aimed to achieve an in-depth understanding of the topic through studying 12 participants, who were purposely sampled. The data were transcribed and analysed using the open-coding technique and thematic analysis. The results revealed that even though the effects of the divorce and separation varied, the participants shared similarities with regard to their emotional states. They invariably experienced feelings of sadness, distress, abandonment, anger, helplessness, and stress. The results also indicated that divorce had a significant impact on the participants’ academic behaviour, school lives and integration at school. The researchers made recommendations which would improve the children’s plight.

Abstract:
Background: Natural disasters like cyclones have been shown to cause food insecurity and infectious diseases leading to malnutrition. Objective: To evaluate the point prevalence of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and post cyclone Idai Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) response in Chimanimani district. Methods: A stratified random sampling method was used to select mother/child pairs who were IMAM beneficiaries. Clinic level records and reports on admissions and treatment outcome statistics were collected. Stories of most significant change (MSC), Focus Group Discussions (FDG) and Key Informants interviews were conducted. Results: At baseline, 74 children were admitted as malnourished, 25 had SAM and 49 had MAM, the number reduced to 45 with 13 SAM and 32 MAM four months post cyclone. The impact of the intervention was measured by the quality of treatment outcomes. The average cure rate from April to December for MAM was 79%, defaulter rate 19%, non-recovery 0%, died 2% and for SAM, cure rate 82%, defaulter rate 13%, died 0% and non-recovery 5%. The cure rate, non-recovery rate and death rate were in line with the SPHERE minimum standards Conclusion: The prevalence of SAM and MAM were highest two months after the cyclone with a marked reduction of cases 4 months post cyclone. The cure, death and non-recovery rate outcome indicators were desirable; however, defaulter rate compromised the effectiveness of the IMAM programme. These findings warrant the strengthening and establishment of effective defaulter follow up systems in displaced and hard to reach areas.
