Zimbabwe. The OFAC has sanctions programs NOT explicitly against the following countries, but against individuals for supporting or financing wars, genocides, corruption or any other large – scale criminal activity, which means that relationships with entities from these regions must be analyzed with special care:
Zimbabwe. No manufacturing capabilities were recorded in Zimbabwe for electrical equipment. The country can produce cables, but they have not recorded any export transactions (Xxxxx and Makgetla, 2021). During 2020, the country imported approximately US$230 million of electrical machinery and equipment, and South Africa dominated the imports with a share of 51.2% (Xxxxx, 2022).
Zimbabwe. The vast majority of Zimbabwe’s Grey Crowned Cranes are outside of protected areas. Hwange National Park is the only fully Protected Area that has cranes. The Driefontein Grasslands and Middle Zambezi Valley are both Important Bird Areas and Ramsar Sites, which raises the profile of these areas, but does little to reduce threats to them.
Zimbabwe. The conservation of Grey Crowned Cranes has continued to be promoted by BirdLife Zimbabwe in the Driefontein Grasslands Ramsar Site. In this regard: Joint ground surveys have been successfully conducted twice annually in the Driefontein Grasslands since 2019. There was wide education and awareness-raising on the conservation of Grey Crowned Cranes and other species, such as the Wattled Cranes, in this Ramsar Site. The awareness was also extended to the three districts that share the Ramsar Site. Engagement at district level influenced integration of wetland conservation into district plans. Wetland restoration that took place in this area improved habitat of the Grey Crowned Cranes and other wetland bird species. However, more efforts in habitat restoration and ecosystem management are still required. There is also a need to extend monitoring of Grey Crowned Cranes beyond the Driefontein Grasslands. ISSAP for the Conservation of the Lesser Flamingo BirdLife South Africa (BLSA)has taken on the role of coordinator of the Lesser Flamingo International Working Group and is collaborating with the AEWA Secretariat to resuscitate this forum. Discussions are also underway regarding the potential for a coordinated census for this species (possibly for early 2024). The 2022 Pan-African Ornithological Congress provided an opportunity to discuss both of these topics with participants involved in Lesser Flamingo conservation in Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda. Botswana Botswana has developed a draft Flamingo Action Plan, which is at an advanced stage awaiting the approval of the Department of Wildlife and National Parks Director. Botswana has developed draft legislation to minimize human disturbance (such as low flying aircrafts and tourist activities) at key flamingo breeding sites. The draft has yet to be finalized and gazetted. South Africa Following the initial establishment of a Local Conservation Group for Kamfers Dam, it has been decided to expand this group into a South African Flamingo Research and Conservation Group, Terms of Reference for which are in the process of being finalized. It is envisioned that this group’s activities will include, inter alia, monitoring population numbers and distribution, assessment of threats and developing strategies to mitigate these, implementing conservation action and safeguarding important sites. The group’s founding members are representatives from Ekapa (the BirdLife Species Guardian for the Lesser Flamingo), BL...
Zimbabwe. Waterbird counts are conducted in January and July of each year. BirdLife Zimbabwe continues to coordinate this across the country. Monitoring of restored sites continues in the Driefontein Grasslands. Basic hydrological assessment conducted in the Driefontein Grasslands in 2021 yielded data on the different fish species found in the wetlands as well as habitat data. This will require follow-up to fully determine the correlation between the Grey Crowned Crane and other small organisms found within the wetlands.
Zimbabwe. Private local and transnational companies undertake research in crop plant breeding and testing, seed production and distribution, horticulture, fertilisers and pesticides, machinery and equipment. The application of inorganic fertilisers started in the 1960s after the introduction of cotton. During the 1970s the use of inorganic fertilisers intensified with an increase in cotton production and a decrease in soil fertility. Pesticides and plough and drought-resistant cotton were the reason for high crop yields from 1987. After independence, the use of hybrid maize steadily increased and credit packages stimulated the use of inorganic fertilisers. In intensive explicitly cash crop-oriented systems, inorganic fertilisers became even more important than manure in order to sustain soil fertility. However, the removal of agricultural subsidies in the 1990s caused the use of fertilisers to fall back to a low level. Research on fertilisers and pesticides is undertaken in Zimbabwe by private local and transnational companies (Scoones 2002 et. al). The use of pesticides played, and still plays a major role in maintaining high levels of Zimbabwe’s agricultural productivity. In addition to their use in agriculture, pesticides are also used to control diseases like malaria, nonhemorrhagic fever, African tryptopanosis (sleeping sickness), Glossina and typhoid. Especially OC pesticides have been used since the early 1960s to control tsetse fly and malaria vectors. DDT was used in Zimbabwe from 1946 to 1983 to control tsetse fly and malaria vectors, as well as to control agricultural pests like maize stalkborer, cotton cutworm and cotton bollworm. In 1983 the use of DDT was restricted to control tsetse flies and mosquitoes only, as it was registered by the Ministry of Health as a chemical that can endanger humans and domestic and wild animals. Other OC pesticides registered to be used in agriculture comprise dieldrin, endosulfan, BHC, aldrin, chlordane, dicofol and chlorthaldimethyl.

(a) The parties recognize that CS owns 44.9% of the equity interests of a company in Zimbabwe (the "Zimbabwe Company") which licenses certain brands, including Schweppes and Mazoe, from CS (the "Zimbabwe License"), which license CS represents and warrants has a termination date of December 31, 2001, except with respect to Whisky black, which has a termination date of December 31, 2004.
Zimbabwe. This Agreement is referred to as Harmonized Calculation Method for Africa Agreement (HCM4A Agreement)[2021].
Zimbabwe. On April 18, 1980, Zimbabwe became an inde- pendent state. In a note dated February 24, 1981 to the Secretary General of the United Nations, the Prime Minister made a statement reading in part as follows: ‘‘My Government will continue to apply with- in its territory, on the basis of the principles of reciprocity and mutual respect for sovereign independence, all bilateral treaties validly con- cluded or recognised by the United Kingdom Government in respect of Southern Rhodesia for a period of three years from the date of independence, i.e. 18th April, 1980, unless such treaties are terminated or modified earlier by mutual consent. It is the intention of my Government during such period to subject all bilateral treaties to full examination for the purpose of determining whether such treaties require termination, revision or renegotiation in the light of Zimbabwe’s sovereign status. It is the earnest hope of my Government that dur- ing the aforementioned period the normal proc- esses of diplomatic negotiation will enable it to reach satisfactory accord with the States con- cerned upon the possibility of the continuance, modification or termination of such treaties. ‘‘At the end of the three year period referred to above my Government will regard such treaties whose continuance or modification have not been agreed as having terminated.
