Zimbabwe Chapter
What Have we Achieved?
The trainings and engagement of inmates allows them to identify priority areas and expectations for health services. Once identified, groups are able to engage providers using the most appropriate channels and means in order to achieve much needed results.
At Chikurubi Maximum Security and Female Prisons, SANOP and VSO have used the Southern African Development Community’s Minimum Standards for Prisoners’ Health as a basis for discussions around how to improve health service provision. Over 70 inmates across both prisons have been involved in the process.
SANOP Zimbabwe Chapter
SANOP has introduced programs such as youth clubs, youth champions, support groups and ex-inmate associations, in a number of prisons within Zimbabwe. These programs strengthened support systems in prisons improving uptake of HIV, Covid -19 and other health related services.

Featured Projects
Establishment of Youth Clubs
To facilitate addressing challenges faced by ex-young offenders and improve coordination of interventions, SANOP recommended and prioritised establishing Youth Clubs across the SANOP countries where local leaders and SANOP Chapter members would mentor Club members and assist them to access resources to empower them and facilitate their integration.
Sexual Reproductive Health Training of juveniles and youths
In Zimbabwe, SANOP facilitated SRHR training for inmates at Whawha Young Offenders Prison in Midlands. The training was a platform for inmates and the facilitators to share experiences about how they overcame some of the health challenges they faced during incarceration and even after serving their jail terms, and how they should manage such challenges in future.
