This implies that disability is targeted in line with SDG 5 to promote gender equality, SDG 10 to end inequalities and SDG 16, target 7 “to ensure responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels” and B “promote and enforce non-discriminatory laws and policies for sustainable development. Persons with disabilities, particularly women and girls, continue to face intersecting forms of discrimination due to their disability and encounter innumerable challenges when it comes to access to services and information. In accordance with the Leave No One Behind (LNOB) principle and recognizing the intersecting forms of sex discrimination which leads to groupings of women being more vulnerable to rights violations, this proposed programme has a strong focus on disability inclusion. The programme builds on the gains of the Spotlight Initiative in strengthening key institutions to ensure that they are gender-responsive and that the voices and perspectives of women and girls with disabilities inform these institutions policies and programmes. The Action will ensure that persons with disabilities, and especially women and girls, are not left behind and have equitable access to services and information and that Organisations of persons with disabilities are part of the CSOs that will monitor implementation and demand accountability. Support will also be provided to ensure that women with disabilities are supported to voice their needs among women's organisations as well as among often male-dominated organisations of persons with disabilities."}, {"bbox": [97, 634, 342, 661], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Reduction of inequalities"}, {"bbox": [95, 661, 1133, 874], "category": "Text", "text": "This Action will be marked as an I-2 against the Inequality Marker.

Geographical inequalities between urban and rural women has been noted in surveys by ZimStat which show that rural women and other marginalised groups experience more challenges in accessing basic services such as health, family planning, education and some means of production unlike those who reside in urban areas.

According to the recent Conflict Analysis Screening (CAS) report for Zimbabwe, EU programmes must be designed on the basis of the “Do no harm” and conflict sensitivity principles (limiting any risk of negative impact on political and conflict dynamics in the country) while aiming to maximise the programmes’ potential for contributing to peace and stability in Zimbabwe. The EU and implementing partners will monitor the risk that the programmes might generate. A major new risk is the pending PVO Bill which, if passed into law, may significantly alter the operating environment for CSOs by criminalising some of their activities and some organisations.
