DESCRIPTION
Nature of the consultancy: To conduct stock take on extent of which migration is mainstreamed in climate change policies, strategies and frameworks.
Project Background / Rationale
The Government of Zimbabwe with technical and financial support from IOM is implementing a 24-month project which seeks to harness stakeholders’ expertise to address Migration, Environment and Climate Change (MECC) challenges in the country in a strategic and coordinated manner. In particular, the GoZ and key stakeholders will be sensitized to gaps and opportunities in climate change policies, strategies and frameworks and the vulnerabilities of migrants due to environmental change. The project will further assist the government in developing climate change toolkit and a comprehensive action plan to support Zimbabwe on the integration of migration into climate-focused frameworks and initiatives at both national and sub-national levels.
It has been noted with concern that climate-induced mobility is on the rise in Zimbabwe, the region and across the globe. The cyclones that hit the country’s eastern highlands is evidence of this phenomenon. Climate change affects where and how people live given that it drives human displacement and forced migration and thus threatens lives and livelihood of the poorest and most vulnerable population. Notably, climate change is causing depletion of livelihood which necessitates people to migrate in search of better alternatives.
While there is acknowledgement that the trend of climate-induced migration is on the rise, current policies have not mainstreamed migration into environment and climate change, strategies, and action plans. Climate movements are unplanned and thus cause socio-economic challenges which calls for climate-proofing sectors to withstand and cope with the impact of climate change.
Government created an enabling environment for climate action by enacting the National Climate Policy and a National Climate Change Response Strategy and the on-going National Adaptation Planning Process. Integration of migration into climate change, enhances adaptive capacity and is necessary in building resilience to climate change towards attainment of Zimbabwe’s own national development priorities and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
It is therefore imperative to assess the extent to which migration and human mobility are integrated in all key policies related to climate change in Zimbabwe. The information gathered and research findings will form the basis of the intervention and inform round table discussions and capacity development of stakeholders.
