Zimbabwe Country Strategic Plan 2022-24 Booklet
Save the Children Zimbabwe has a new strategic plan – spanning 2022-2024. We aim to inspire three specific breakthroughs for children: • SURVIVE: No child dies from preventable causes before their fifth birthday • LEARN: All children learn from a quality basic education • BE PROTECTED: Violence against children is no longer tolerated To ensure that all children survive, learn and are protected, we will focus on reaching the most deprived and marginalised children, who are too often excluded due to poverty, geographical location, gender, ethnicity or disability. We will do whatever it takes to ensure we leave no child behind. The Country Strategic Plan 2022-24 booklet highlights how we will achieve this.
