The Zimbabwe Information Centre (ZIC) informs Australians about current developments in Zimbabwe. We support organisations in Zimbabwe advocating for good governance, embracing diversity, and building an inclusive society, with fair distribution of wealth and benefits, equality for all and human rights for all.
We work in partnership with the Zimbabwe Peacebuilding Initiative (ZimPI). Working with government and with member organisations of around 750,000 people, ZimPI fosters ‘synergies for peace with justice, safety, security, green entrepreneurship, happiness and prosperity for all’. Peacebuilding is a tool to bring Zimbabweans together and resolve intergenerational challenges as one society, building on traditional values of Ubuntu.
"Africans have this thing called Ubuntu... the essence of being human. It is part of the gift that Africans will give the world. It embraces hospitality, caring about others, willing to go the extra mile for the sake of others. We believe a person is person through another person, that my humanity is caught up, bound up and inextricable in yours. When I dehumanise you I inexorably dehumanise myself. The solitary individual is a contradiction in terms and, therefore, you seek to work for the common good because your humanity comes into its own community, in belonging." Archbishop Desmond Tutu

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread in
Zimbabwe from a low base, but with little effective physical distancing
measures and very little testing to restrain its spread.
Hunger continues to grow the more the economic
dislocation from the pandemic continues, especially falling remittances from
the diaspora.
The people of Zimbabwe are facing ever greater
hunger due to another poor harvest and the COVID-19 lockdown and its broader
impacts. The World Food Program is expanding its feeding program in response.
But the galloping inflation, reaching 765 per cent in the year to April, has
The COVID-19 lockdown is now indefinite,
reviewed every two weeks, and cross-border trading, and remittances have
greatly diminished as sources of survival for the people. While the number of
COVID-19 cases in Zimbabwe is small, the fear of a big outbreak is
well-founded. Small but significant aid grants came from the European Union,
