Administrative measures, Policies and Institutions 10.5 In June 2015 the Government adopted and accepted the ILO recommendation 204 on the transition from the informal to the formal economy. And as a follow up to that the formalization strategy is now being worked on. To this end, the Government is working on a policy for affordable social security, tax benefits, infrastructure, finance, healthcare, pension, housing and maternity cover for the SMEs and Cooperatives of whom the majority are women. 10.6 Government, through Small and Medium Enterprise Development Cooperatives (SMEDCO) is disbursing 50% of loans for Small and Medium enterprises to women. This policy is in place so as to financially include women as per the financial inclusion strategy, given that 52% of the Zimbabwean population are women according to the 2012 census. 10.7 Government fully recognises the rights of women to own land, farming inputs and other property. Women have also been beneficiaries of the land reform programme that the country undertook. The land reform programme introduced at the turn of the century sought, among other things, to mitigate the limited access to resources by women through introduction of quotas in the access to land by women. The policy position is that women should constitute 20% of all those allocated large scale farming land also known as the A2 farming land. In addition, women are also entitled to apply for agricultural land in their own right under the A1 village schemes, a departure from the traditional norm wherein women only accessed land through their husbands, fathers or other male relative. This has empowered women to have control over land as a means of production. Page | 93
