UN Volunteers' current contribution to Zimbabwe
Currently, there are 16 UN Volunteers in Zimbabwe. Of these, 12 national UN Volunteers support the National AIDS Council's HIV/AIDS programme. Ten volunteers are in the field assisting provincial and district coordinators with the National AIDS Council in designing strategies and workplans for combating HIV/AIDS. Two national UN Volunteers are working as a researcher and computer specialist. The researcher is responsible for monitoring and collecting reports sent from the HIV/AIDS assistants in the field, which are then stored for future reference by the executive board of the National AIDS Council. The computer specialist is designing a database that will store all the field reports. The database will record the activities of the national UN Volunteers and others working with the Council in its efforts to implement the country's national strategy on HIV/AIDS. It will also serve as a warehouse for best practices in the field of HIV/AIDS. Two international UN Volunteers, a Kenyan and a Malawian, are working as UNV humanitarian field workers with the humanitarian assistance and recovery programme in response to Zimbabwe's drought and subsequent food shortage. A Canadian UN Volunteer works as a communication and advocacy officer liaising with local media and disseminating UN-related information to the public. She is also designing a communications and advocacy unit within the UNV country office. An Irish UN Volunteer works as a legal protection officer with the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) protecting and promoting the rights of the refugees in Zimbabwe.
