Birth Registration has experienced a turbulent few months with a third surge of Covid-19 affecting Zimbabwe and various levels of restrictions being implemented. Happily the Registry Offices have been partially operational, allowing us to help some vulnerable children to get their birth certification and take that basic but giant leap towards claiming their full rights as a citizen.
We’ve been able to run activities supporting people to be ready to go to the Registry Office. We’ve been attending with the community and supporting Child Protection Committees in handling case referrals and we’ve held our office drop in sessions too, providing expert support and legal guidance.
The backlog in Birth Registration created by Covid-19 is profound and something the country won’t be able to fix quickly but we’re happy to be part of a stakeholder group that’s working with the Registry Office to help out.
Thank you to all our supporters for your wonderful help!
