Instructor insights into technical and vocational education and training for persons with disabilities in Zimbabwe’s vocational rehabilitation centres
Navigating the triple constraints
Despite the widespread use of vocational training as a strategy to promote economic inclusion, women with disabilities remain significantly underrepresented in self-employment, particularly in developing countries like Zimbabwe. This study aimed to gain deep insight into how women with disabilities in Zimbabwe experience and navigate self-employment after completing vocational training, with particular attention to the challenges associated with …
The Politics of Camp-Based Refugee Income Generation Activities
Refugee camps are intended to provide safety and temporary protection for forcibly displaced people. Yet little is known about the complex power dynamics that shape livelihoods in these settings. This paper examines formal and informal, entrenched and evolving, power relations in Zimbabwe’s Tongogara camp. Based on qualitative interviews with 47 camp residents, frontline workers, and managers, we demonstrate how members of different stakeholder g…
Glittering Hope
This study evaluates the impact of the Bicycle for Educational Empowerment Program (BEEP) on improving access to education for rural learners in Zimbabwe. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study analyzed data from 1445 learners across 12 schools (6 treatment, six control) over five years (2018–2022). Descriptive statistics , Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and difference-in-differences (DiD) were employed to assess school attendance, re-enro…
Methodological learning curve
This study examines the nature of competency required of social work students in qualitative and quantitative methods as well as the preferred learning period duration for the acquisition of proficiency in each method. Utilising a descriptive-correlational design, data was gathered from a sample of 1268 social work students who completed their dissertations during their last year of study. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that social …
Methodological bias in social work education
This study examines the factors contributing to the low utilization of quantitative research approaches among social work research students. A census sampling technique was employed to conduct a survey of 1268 students who had completed their final year research dissertations. The descriptive statistics revealed that 81% (n = 1022) of social work students employed qualitative research, 16% (n = 208) used mixed methods, and only 3% (n = 38) utiliz…
Social work with encamped refugees
In this article, we draw on our joint experiences as social work practitioners and researchers in a rights-restricting practice context, a refugee camp. We reflect on social workers’ roles in navigating the conundrum, that is, advocating against and in some unfortunate instances, perpetuating exclusionary systems. Refugee camps are physical zones designed to disentitle refugees of rights reserved for citizens. Faced with structural restrictions, …
A Critical Ethics of Care Perspective on Refugee Income Generation
This article critiques Zimbabwe's refugee policy and practice context, with a focus on the ideological underpinnings of aided income generation activities in Zimbabwe's Tongogara refugee camp. We apply the lenses of Joan Tronto's political, or democratic ethics of care, and Fiona Robinson's critical ethics of care, to conduct an ideology critique of the aid agencies' expressed goal of refugees' economic ‘self-reliance’. We demonstrate that their …
