Zimbabwe: An assessment summary

Providing care through the social and solidarity economy - Zimbabwe

This assessment highlights the critical need for quality childcare services for informal economy workers in Zimbabwe. Street vendors and domestic workers, particularly women, face significant challenges due to high levels of informality and lack of social protection. The assessment recommends the cooperative model as a viable solution to improve working conditions, provide safe childcare, and empower workers. Key findings emphasize the supportive legislative framework, the fragmented market for care services, and the potential for cooperatives to address these issues effectively. The next steps include a validation workshop to align stakeholder priorities and the roll-out of ILO training tools.
