The Action design is informed by the 2021 Conflict Analysis Screening (CAS) report for Zimbabwe. Consultations were held with target institutions, CSOs and implementing partners to fully understand the context as well as the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders. The Action is based on the “Do No Harm” approach and conflict sensitivity principles (limiting any risk of negative impact on political and conflict dynamics in the country) through supporting both the demand and supply side of transparency and accountability. The EU and implementing partners will monitor the risk that the programmes might generate conflict. A major risk dimension relates to the PVO Bill, which may significantly restrict CSOs operating space and may result in increased hostility between government and non-state actors."}, {"bbox": [96, 559, 335, 584], "category": "Section-header", "text": "### Disaster Risk Reduction"}, {"bbox": [96, 586, 1147, 667], "category": "Text", "text": "This action has no or little impact on disaster risk reduction.
