The institutional and
legal framework for natural resources management
Carmel Lue-Mbizvo and Jennifer Clare Mohamed
This paper is one of a
series dealing with environmental management issues in a
common property regime in eastern Zimbabwe. It offers a
basic description of the legal and institutional
characteristics of Zimbabwe's communal lands, with a
particular focus on Mhezi Ward in Makoni District. Key
policy issues identified in the paper are the need to reform
and consolidate the range of fragmented laws which deal with
the environment; the necessity of moving away from
criminalisation and policing, towards compensation;
education and the creation of an more enabling environment;
and the need to confront the problem of decentralization in
a more imaginative way than has been the case to date.

The case for sustainable
development in Zimbabwe: Conceptual problems, conflicts and
contradictions
Edited and Co-authored by Charles Gore, Yemi Katerere
and Sam Moyo
Drought, food shortages,
deforestation and pollution; peasant farmers crowded into
arid "Communal Areas", commercial farmers settled
on vast tracts of under-utilised arable land -These are some
of the pressing issues haunting Zimbabwe today. The authors
of this book are concerned with the long-term effects of
these issues, especially the ever-widening
poverty-environmental degradation cycle.
This seminal and provocative
book is written by leading environmental researchers and
activists in Zimbabwe. It delves into the root causes of
Zimbabwe's environmental problems, which the authors agree,
cannot be divorced from the inequality in land distribution
and suggests an immediate and radically new approach to the
environment before degradation becomes irreversible. While
the discussion is limited to Zimbabwe, the issues and
analyses are applicable to other Southern African and indeed
Third World, countries.

Zimbabwe's environmental
dilemma: Balancing resource inequities
Sam Moyo, Yemi Katerere, Peter Robinson, Stuart
Stevenson, Davison Gumbo
One of the most controversial
issues in post-independence Zimbabwe is how the country can
tackle the land question in a way that will not only address
the gross wrongs of the past but also leave its relatively
well-developed commercial agricultural sector intact.
Indeed, the cautiousness of the Government of Zimbabwe in
developing its land policy and implementing a major land
reform programme is as much a result of lack of singularity
of opinion within the ruling coalition as it is of the
constraints of the Lancaster House constitution. The message
of this book is unequivocal: Land redistribution is the only
way by which the country can move into a path for
sustainable development. Without major land reform, It is
argued, the spectre of ecological disaster will continue to
loom over the country. There is more to benefit than to lose
in a major land reform exercise aimed at resolving the
conflict over which characterises the present situation.

Land and sustainable
development in Southern Africa: Exploration of some emerging
issues
Joseph Z.Z. Matowanyika and Nelson Marongwe
The land question has emerged
as a central issue to the whole debate of sustainable
development not only in Zimbabwe but also in Southern
Africa. The authors of this paper submit that land is a
multifaceted concept, which cannot be confined to the
protection of its physical well being only. Rather, it is at
the center of the societal, political and economic relations
in Southern Africa. They propose that, a regional discussion
and dialogue on land issues will lead to more sustainable
solutions and to the advanced sustainable development of the
societies of the region.
This provocative paper
summarises issues emanating from surveys and literature
reviews on land issues conducted by ZERO as part of the
organisation's changing work, which is focused on land
issues in Southern Africa. It presents five illustrative
cases to illuminate on the complex nature of the land
problems and makes recommendations on the challenges for the
region in seeking the way forward.
It is presented as a
discussion document around which other ideas can be built
toward broader consensus on the land and sustainable
development linkage in the region. It attempts to trigger
debate and foster serious attention to the research and
policy matters that need to be addressed in the region. It
is essentially useful to policy makers, researchers and
research institutions, politicians and legislators, NGOs and
other interested individuals.

land issues in Zimbabwe. It also advocates the effective
