Finding
Following the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, the Ministry of Macro-Economic Planning and Investment Promotion launched consultative processes to prepare Zimbabwe SDG Position Paper. A group of persons with disabilities played an active role in the consultation, and disability became a cross-cutting issue in the country's second VNR. The support required by persons with disabilities is reflected in measures addressing gender equity promotion, access to safe, clean, and potable water, and fighting food insecurity. The VNR report also highlighted the challenge of increasing data disaggregation related to persons with disabilities.
