MURAMBINDA GROWTH POINT, BUHERA — Citizens in Murambinda, Zimbabwe, have called on Parliament to strengthen environmental accountability, decentralise climate governance, and ensure fair distribution of climate funds as lawmakers continue nationwide consultations on the Climate Change Management Bill.

The Joint Portfolio Committee on Environment, Climate and Wildlife and the Thematic Committee on Climate Change held their second public hearing on Wednesday at the Better Schools Programme of Zimbabwe (BSPZ) Centre in Murambinda, Manicaland Province. These consultations are conducted under Section 141 of the Constitution, which mandates Parliament to engage citizens in the law-making process.

The hearings are supported by the Sweden-funded Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Project under the SADC Parliamentary Forum (SADC PF), which seeks to integrate gender, health, and rights considerations into climate policies.
