It argues that the training and strategies several executive members acquired from the military could be used in combating the spread of invisible enemy (Coronavirus). However, a combination of poor policies, ineffective government actions, and counterproductive measures threaten to cause more harm to the Zimbabweans than the pandemic. The paper begins by providing an epistemology of the disease in Zimbabwe, then looks at how the government has responded to the pandemic. It then examines the challenges emerging from the negative impacts of the disease and the government policies on the citizens. The authors conclude with a set of policy recommendations.","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Noah

Similarly, the Zimbabwean public sector has been equally affected by this pandemic. Using a qualitative methodology the research interrogates the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and proffers ways to deal with its impacts on the Zimbabwean public sector. Data was extensively collected from documentary sources such as books, journals, government publications etc. The study established that the Zimbabwean Health Sector (ZHS) is completely overwhelmed by the pandemic, that there is a decrease in revenue collection, poor social accountability, and corruption and that frontline employees and those working in environments that are exposed to the virus are psychologically affected. The research recommends that the government should capacitate the ZHS, revitalise industries and harnessing small to medium enterprises, embrace open Information T...</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Unpacking the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Zimbabwe`s Public Sector","attachmentId":86877047,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/80523994/Unpacking_the_Impact_of_the_COVID_19_Pandemic_in_Zimbabwes_Public_Sector","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/80523994/Unpacking_the_Impact_of_the_COVID_19_Pandemic_in_Zimbabwes_Public_Sector"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="2" data-entity-id="43462464" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/43462464/COVID_19_a_Global_Nightmare_Revamping_the_Zimbabwean_Health_Sector_ZHS_for_Future_Epidemic_and_Pandemic_Management">COVID-19 a Global Nightmare: Revamping the Zimbabwean Health Sector (ZHS) for Future Epidemic and Pandemic Management</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="30657371" href="https://independent.academia.edu/BzeccaMimshackRuwach">Bismark Mutizwa</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Research Excellence Institute , 2020</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">The study interrogates the preparedness capacity of the Zimbabwe Health Sector (ZHS) in managing the global pandemic. The historical background of the ZHS is presented in a chorological manner to show an appreciation of its rise. Documentary reviews and telephone interviews were at the core of the methodological framework. Literature from other nations such as China, Italy, Madagascar, South Africa and Rwanda was evaluated for juxtaposition purpose. The study found ZHS wanting in its awareness capacity, responsive and adaptive capacity, management and operations capacity and centralised approach. Corruption and international isolation are among the quagmires that ZHS is encountering. The research recommends that ZHS should disseminate awareness messages in all languages and strengthen radio coverage in remote areas, government should offer attractive remunerations and promote systematic training and development, there is need for ZHS to decentralise testing, government should strengthen ombudsman offices and government should reorient its relations.</p><div
