Official acknowledgment of displacement yet to be translated into strategies for durable solutions
Hundreds of thousands of people in Zimbabwe remain internally displaced as a result of government policies and actions. The two largest groups of internally displaced people (IDPs) are farm workers and their families who have been displaced as a result of the fast-track land reform programme and people displaced as a result of arbitrary evictions in Zimbabwe’s towns and cities.
