In 2015, the ICRC Harare Regional Delegation rehabilitated water systems to ensure provision of clean water to detainees in Zimbabwe.

Our teams  visited detainees to monitor their living conditions and treatment. The ICRC also reconnected families separated by conflict, lawful and unlawful detention, migration or displacement.

Highlights of our work in Harare in 2015

10,000 inmates and prison officers now have access to clean water
 18,000 inmates had a regular supply of vegetables and legumes
 75 inmates at a prison in Namibia maintained contact with their relatives
 2,600 members of the armed forces trained on IHL and IHRL
