Development-induced displacements may lead to loss of land, livelihoods, shelter, property, and access to social facilities, natural resources and cultural heritage, if the affected people are not cushioned by appropriate compensation and social support mechanisms, as well as integrated rehabilitation programmes to mitigate negative impact. As a result, communities often resist relocations and in some instances the emerging conflicts between the responsible authorities and the affected communities delay critical development projects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe policies of the Government of Zimbabwe are geared towards rural development, economic growth and foreign investment. This calls for a complementing review and harmonisation of legislation, policies and practices designed to protect the rights and livelihoods of rural communities affected and displaced by development projects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2019, the Centre for Conflict Management and Transformation (CCMT) hosted a series of multi-stakeholder policy dialogues on the issue of development-induced displacements in Zimbabwe. In addition, a research symposium was held in collaboration with the Tugwi Mukosi Multidisciplinary Research Institute (TMMRI, Midlands State University) on Zimbabwean displacement experiences and policy options. This book, with contributions from a wide range of researchers and practitioners, presents the results of that process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e For Conflict Ccmt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1779223862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781779223869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Weaver Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"For Conflict Ccmt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459616977151,"sku":"9781779223869","price":36.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fea2b6e4-a466-4a48-8826-5cf5cccddb04.jpg?v=1777410818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/development-induced-displacements-in-zimbabwe-for-conflict-ccmt-9781779223869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
