IRVING FOR REASONS 1.5 (B) AND (D). ¶1. (C) SUMMARY. IN A BIZARRE OUTBRIEF ON OCTOBER 12, THE UN/UNDP TEAM SENT TO EXPLORE WAYS TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN DONORS AND GOVERNMENT ON LAND REFORM MADE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO "IMPROVE" THE FAST TRACK PROGRAM. THE TEAM STRESSED THAT THEIR MANDATE WAS TECHNICAL -- NOT POLITICAL. DONOR QUESTIONS WERE LIMITED BUT THERE WAS A PALPABLE SENSE OF DISBELIEF AND DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE MISSION. GIVEN THE NARROW MANDATE OF THE MISSION, THE MORE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE OF THE RULE OF LAW WAS NOT ADDRESSED. WE THINK THAT THE PARALLEL UN INITIATIVE TO EXAMINE THE RULE OF LAW SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED WHILE PUTTING ON HOLD ANY FURTHER TECHNICAL MISSIONS TO WORK ON A VIABLE LAND PROGRAM. POST BELIEVES THAT THE LATTER CAN BE CONDUCTED ON THE GROUND BY DONORS, WHILE THE UN CAN MOST PRODUCTIVELY HELP ADDRESS THE RULE OF LAW ISSUE. END SUMMARY. CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 03 HARARE 05834 01 OF 04 131121Z ¶2. (C) ON OCTOBER 12 UNDP RESIDENT REPRESENTATIVE VICTOR ANGELO INTRODUCED THE FIVE MEMBERS OF THE UN/UNDP TEAM WHO BRIEFED HEADS OF DIPLOMATIC AND SELECTED DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE MISSIONS ON RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WOULD APPEAR IN THEIR FINAL REPORT TO THE UNDP ADMINISTRATOR AND THE UN SECRETARY GENERAL. (COMMENT: DONORS WERE SURPRISED AT THE UNDP RESREP'S INVITATION TO THE PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION REPRESENTATIVE, AS WELL AS HEADS OF MISSION OF THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND THE G-77. ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF THE PARTICIPANTS WERE NEW FACES AND FEW OF THEM POTENTIAL DONORS. THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVE WAS CONSPICUOUS BY HIS ABSENCE. END COMMENT). ANGELO SAID THAT AFTER THREE WEEKS IN COUNTRY CONSULTING WITH A WIDE RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS, THE ZIMBABWEAN GOVERNMENT HAD GIVEN THE TEAM ALL THE ASSISTANCE THAT IT NEEDED, AND HAD RECEIVED THE TEAM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. ANGELO NOTED THAT PRESIDENT MUGABE WAS KEPT REGULARLY UPDATED ON THE TEAM'S FINDINGS. SPEAKING FOR THE TEAM, CHIEF OF PARTY JACQUES CHONCHOL FOUND THAT THERE IS BROAD AGREEMENT WITHIN ZIMBABWE AMONG ALL STAKEHOLDERS THAT: -- LAND REFORM IN ZIMBABWE IS A POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPERATIVE THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION; -- IT IS PRIMARILY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF ZIMBABWE TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A WORKABLE LAND REFORM PROGRAM; CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 04 HARARE 05834 01 OF 04 131121Z -- THE DESIGN WILL REQUIRE CONSTANT CONSULTATION OF ALL STAKEHOLDERS; --THE PLAN MUST BE TRANSPARENT IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION, ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE AND JUST; AND --THE LAWS OF ZIMBABWE MUST BE OBSERVED THROUGHOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL PHASES OF THE PLAN. ¶3. (C) COMPLEMENTING THOSE OBSERVATIONS CHONCHOL NOTED THAT DISAGREEMENT EXISTED ON THE: -- SCALE AND PACE OF THE FAST TRACK RESETTLEMENT EXERCISE; -- POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC DYNAMICS UNDERLYING THE FAST TRACK APPROACH; -- EXTENT AND WILLINGNESS OF THE PARTIES TO NEGOTIATE KEY ISSUES; AND -- AVAILABILITY OF FINANCE. CHONCHOL SAID THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF ZIMBABWE BELIEVED IT HAD BEEN PUSHED TO ADOPT THE FAST TRACK RESETTLEMENT EXERCISE BECAUSE IT DID NOT RECEIVE SUFFICIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL PTQ7499 PAGE 01 HARARE 05834 02 OF 04 131121Z ACTION IO-00 INFO LOG-00 NP-00 AF-00 AGRE-00 AID-00 ACQ-00 CIAE-00 SMEC-00 DINT-00 DODE-00 DOTE-00 SRPP-00 DS-00 EB-00 EUR-00 FAAE-00 FBIE-00 VC-00 HHS-01 H-01 SSA-01 TEDE-00 INR-00 L-00 VCE-00 AC-01 DCP-01 NSAE-00 OES-01 OIC-02 OMB-01 OPIC-01 PA-00 PM-00 PRS-00 ACE-00 P-00 SP-00 TRSE-00 USIE-00 R-00 PMB-00 DSCC-00 DRL-02 G-00 NFAT-00 SAS-00 /012W -------------- 913F2C 131122Z /38 P 131122Z OCT 00 FM AMEMBASSY HARARE TO SECSTATE WASHDC PRIORITY 7360 INFO NSC WASHDC PRIORITY USMISSION USUN NEW YORK PRIORITY USDOC WASHDC SOUTHERN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY C O N F I D E N T I A L SECTION 02 OF 04 HARARE 005834 SIPDIS NSC FOR SENIOR AFRICA DIRECTOR GAYLE SMITH USDOC FOR DHENKE-ROGERS LONDON FOR GURNEY PARIS FOR BISA WILLIAMS PASS USAID FOR AFR/SD - DWELLER, AFR/SA - CPALMA, CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 02 HARARE 05834 02 OF 04 131121Z NNEWMAN, AA/AFR - VDERRYCK AND A/AID - RMCCALL PASS USTR FOR ROSA WHITAKER E.O. 12958: DECL: 10/13/2010 TAGS: EAGR PGOV PINS PINR ZI SUBJECT: UN/UNDP TEAM GIVES OUTBRIEF: RESULTS DISAPPOINTING DONORS. ¶4. (C) THE UN/UNDP MISSION CHIEF OF PARTY CONTINUED WITH THE CAVEAT THAT POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS FELL OUTSIDE THE TEAM'S MANDATE. THE TEAM VISITED VARIOUS SETTLEMENTS AND NOTICED THAT THE FAST TRACK EXERCISE HAD RUN INTO DIFFICULTIES: THE GOVERNMENT HAD NO RESOURCES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE OR AGRICULTURAL INPUTS FOR THOSE RESETTLED, THERE WAS INADEQUATE INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY AS WELL AS A CUMBERSOME STATUTORY AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK. IN LIGHT OF THESE FACTS, THE TEAM'S REPORT WILL MAKE FOUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL EFFICIENCY OF THE PROGRAM: -- ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRUST FUND ADMINISTERED BY UNDP AND FINANCED BY DONORS TO PURCHASE AND UPGRADE ACQUIRED LAND, UNDER THE FAST TRACK RESETTLEMENT EXERCISE. IT SHOULD ENCOMPASS AN ORDERLY PROCESS OF RESETTLEMENT AND THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD STOP FURTHER OCCUPATIONS. A COMMITTEE WOULD OVERSEE THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF ZIMBABWE, THE DONORS AND UNDP. CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 03 HARARE 05834 02 OF 04 131121Z --FOUNDING OF A TRAINING INSTITUTE; -- SIMPLIFICATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL PROCEDURES WITH RESPECT TO LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT, WHICH, AMONG OTHER THINGS, NEEDS TO BE DECENTRALIZED; AND -- USING A PROPORTION OF THE TRUST FUND TO SUPPLEMENT THE BUDGET FOR SALARIES AND SUPPORT OF GOVERNMENT STAFF WHO WOULD IMPLEMENT THE LAND REFORM PROGRAM. ¶5. (C) KICKING OFF THE QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION, THE NEW ZEALAND HIGH COMMISSIONER ASKED WHETHER THE TRAINING INSTITUTE THE TEAM ADVOCATED WAS TO BE SOMETHING NEW, BECAUSE THE COUNTRY WAS LITTERED WITH SUCH INSTITUTIONS AND MANY OF WHOSE GRADUATES WERE QUALIFIED FARMERS WHO WERE NOT BEING PLACED ON LAND. HE ALSO ASKED WHETHER THE TRUST FUND RECOMMENDATION HARKED BACK TO THE RESULTS OF THE 1998 DONORS CONFERENCE. CHONCHOL REPLIED THAT IT WOULD BE A NEW INSTITUTION ON THE MODEL OF THOSE SET UP IN OTHER COUNTRIES THAT HAD PROVEN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL. ZIMBABWE LACKED CAPACITY TO IMPLEMENT A PROPER LAND REFORM PROGRAM, IT NEEDED TO TRAIN TECHNICIANS, PEASANT LEADERS, AND PROPERLY ORGANIZE CO-OPERATIVES, AMONG OTHER THINGS. REGARDING THE TRUST FUND, CHONCHOL SAID THAT IT WOULD ALSO BE SOMETHING NEW, ADMINISTERED BY THE DONORS, GOVERNMENT AND THE UNDP. --THE DANISH AMBASSADOR ASKED WHAT WAS THE TIME FRAME THE TEAM ENVISIONED FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LAND CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 04 HARARE 05834 02 OF 04 131121Z REFORM PROGRAM. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THE GOZ OBJECTIVE OF 5 MILLION HECTARES COULD BE ACHIEVED IN THREE TO FOUR YEARS BASED ON AN ANNUAL ROLLING PLANNING PROCESS. -- THE AUSTRALIAN AID REPRESENTATIVE ASKED FOR THE TEAM'S ESTIMATE OF THE TRUST FUND. CHONCHOL AVOIDED ANSWERING THE QUESTION BY SAYING THAT IT DEPENDED WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT MERELY PLANNED TO DUMP PEOPLE ON THE LAND OR MAKE ADEQUATE PREPARATIONS. UNDP RESREP ANGELO REJOINED THAT THE TEAM WOULD PROPOSE THREE INCREASINGLY EXPENSIVE RESETTLEMENT MODELS, BUT CAUTIONED THAT AT A MINIMUM IT WOULD COST BETWEEN USD 3,000 TO 3,200 PER FAMILY. (COMMENT: THERE IS NOTHING NEW IN THIS REVELATION. THESE ARE OLD NUMBERS. END COMMENT). --THE WORLD BANK REPRESENTATIVE ASKED WHETHER A SOUND LAND REFORM PROGRAM COULD BE BASED ON COMPULSORY ACQUISITION AND WHETHER THE FAST TRACK APPROACH WAS TECHNICALLY SOUND. CHONCHOL CONCEDED THAT THE APPROACH WAS NOT OPTIMAL. --THE BELGIAN AMBASSADOR ASKED WHAT THE TEAM'S POSITION REGARDING THE HANDLING OF THE CURRENT FARM INVADERS AND QUESTIONED THE TEAM'S PRO-GOVERNMENT BIAS.

WHEN GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO POSE FURTHER QUESTIONS THE HIGH COMMISSIONER DEMURRED, BUT HIS BODY LANGUAGE CONVEYED DISBELIEF. --THE SWEDISH AMBASSADOR ASKED ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 1998 AGREEMENT AND THE FAST TRACK APPROACH. THE TEAM RESPONDED THAT THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE WAS THAT THE FAST TRACK APPROACH IS ATTEMPTING TO ACQUIRE ALL LAND "UP FRONT" VERSUS THE PHASED APPROACH AGREED UPON IN 1998. THE OTHER MAJOR DIFFERENCE IS THE BASIS (IMPROVEMENTS ONLY) AND METHOD OF COMPENSATION (DELAYED PAYMENTS INCLUDING ISSUANCE OF BONDS). --THE PLO REPRESENTATIVE (AND DEAN OF THE DIPLOMATIC CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 03 HARARE 05834 03 OF 04 131122Z CORPS) CONTRIBUTION WAS TO SUGGEST THAT WHILE PALESTINE IS NOT A DONOR BUT A RECIPIENT OF ASSISTANCE, HE THOUGHT THE QUESTIONS POSED WERE PREMATURE AND THAT WE SHOULD WAIT FOR THE TEAM'S REPORT. --IN RESPONSE TO A QUESTION ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF THE REPORT, THE GROUP WAS INFORMED THAT THE MISSION WOULD FIRST DISCUSS IT WITH THE UN BEGINNING OCTOBER 15. ¶6. (C) IN A RUMP SESSION, WORLD BANK, DFID AND USAID MET TO DISCUSS IMPLICATIONS OF THE MISSION. THE CONSENSUS WAS THAT THE MEETING WAS BIZARRE AND THE MISSION FAILED TO ADVANCE THE DIALOGUE ON THE RULE OF LAW OR CLARIFY THE TECHNICAL ISSUES. RATHER, THE RECOMMENDATIONS TINKER ON THE EDGES OF A FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED APPROACH. THE WORLD BANK REPRESENTATIVE OBSERVED THAT MOST DONORS PRESENT WERE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE TECHNICAL ISSUES THAN THE TEAM. OVERALL THE CONCERN WAS THAT THE ZIMBABWEAN GOVERNMENT COULD USE RESULTS OF THIS MISSION TO JUSTIFY UNLEASHING FURTHER LAWLESSNESS, BECAUSE DONORS ALMOST CERTAINLY WILL FAIL TO SUPPORT THE PROPOSED TRUST FUND. THERE IS ALSO WIDESPREAD BELIEF HERE THAT THE GOZ WILL LOSE THE COMMERCIAL FARMERS' UNION'S COURT CHALLENGE. THE SUPREME COURT LIKELY WILL RULE THAT THE USE OF PRESIDENTIAL POWERS TO AMEND BOTH THE CONSTITUTION AND THE LAND ACT WILL BE RULED UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THE FEAR IS THAT THE GOZ WILL THEN JUSTIFY FURTHER INVASIONS AND LAND SEIZURES GIVEN THE DESPERATE ECONOMIC SITUATION AND THE NEED FOR ZANU-PF TO DELIVER ON SOMETHING TO ITS RURAL CONSTITUENCY BEFORE THE 2002 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 04 HARARE 05834 03 OF 04 131122Z ¶7. (C) COMMENT: AS WE SUSPECTED, THE MAJOR THRUST OF THE TEAM'S RECOMMENDATIONS IS TO RATIONALIZE THE GOVERNMENT'S FAST TRACK APPROACH TO LAND REFORM AND RESETTLEMENT. THIS RESULT WAS NOT SURPRISING, GIVEN THE NARROW AND TECHNICAL TERMS OF REFERENCE UNDER WHICH THE TEAM OPERATED. THE ATTEMPT TO SEGREGATE THE TECHNICAL FROM THE POLITICAL WAS AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK BECAUSE LAND REFORM IN ZIMBABWE IS NOW ESSENTIALLY A POLITICAL PROCESS. DESPITE THE NEW RESREP'S BEST EFFORT AT PUTTING A POSITIVE SPIN ON THE TEAM'S FINDINGS, THE NET RESULT IS A POTENTIALLY IMPORTANT LOST OPPORTUNITY TO BRIDGE THE CURRENT IMPASSE CHARACTERIZING THIS ISSUE. THE REPORT POTENTIALLY COULD EVEN SERVE AS A SETBACK TO THE PROCESS OF DIALOGUE, IF IT RESULTS IN RAISING FALSE GOVERNMENT EXPECTATIONS REGARDING POTENTIAL DONOR SUPPORT FOR THE FAST TRACK PROGRAM. ¶8. (C) COMMENT CONTINUED: POST AGREES WITH THE STRATEGY TO SEPARATE THE THREE MAJOR ISSUES (RULE OF LAW, THE ECONOMY AND THE LAND PROGRAM). HOWEVER, IN OUR VIEW, THE UN PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE, BECAUSE THE TECHNICAL ISSUES ARE NOT THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM HERE. DONORS HAVE ALREADY NEGOTIATED THE TECHNICAL ISSUES ON LAND WITH GOVERNMENT WITH GOOD SUCCESS AT THE 1998 CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL PTO8400 PAGE 01 HARARE 05834 04 OF 04 131122Z ACTION IO-00 INFO LOG-00 NP-00 AF-00 AGRE-00 AID-00 ACQ-00 CIAE-00 SMEC-00 DINT-00 DODE-00 DOTE-00 SRPP-00 DS-00 EB-00 EUR-00 FAAE-00 FBIE-00 VC-00 HHS-01 H-01 SSA-01 TEDE-00 INR-00 L-00 VCE-00 AC-01 DCP-01 NSAE-00 OES-01 OIC-02 OMB-01 OPIC-01 PA-00 PM-00 PRS-00 ACE-00 P-00 SP-00 TRSE-00 USIE-00 R-00 PMB-00 DSCC-00 DRL-02 G-00 NFAT-00 SAS-00 /012W -------------- 913F4C 131122Z /38 P 131122Z OCT 00 FM AMEMBASSY HARARE TO SECSTATE WASHDC PRIORITY 7362 INFO NSC WASHDC PRIORITY USMISSION USUN NEW YORK PRIORITY USDOC WASHDC SOUTHERN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY C O N F I D E N T I A L SECTION 04 OF 04 HARARE 005834 SIPDIS NSC FOR SENIOR AFRICA DIRECTOR GAYLE SMITH USDOC FOR DHENKE-ROGERS LONDON FOR GURNEY PARIS FOR BISA WILLIAMS PASS USAID FOR AFR/SD - DWELLER, AFR/SA - CPALMA, CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 02 HARARE 05834 04 OF 04 131122Z NNEWMAN, AA/AFR - VDERRYCK AND A/AID - RMCCALL PASS USTR FOR ROSA WHITAKER E.O. 12958: DECL: 10/13/2010 TAGS: EAGR PGOV PINS PINR ZI SUBJECT: UN/UNDP TEAM GIVES OUTBRIEF: RESULTS DISAPPOINTING DONORS' CONFERENCE. THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THE RULE OF LAW: CONDONING ITS SUSPENSION IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THE MUGABE GOVERNMENT'S POLITICAL IMPERATIVE OF LAND DELIVERY IS SIMPLY NOT ON. THE UN/UNDP TEAM MENTIONED THAT IT IS CONSIDERING ANOTHER MISSION DEVOTED TO THE ISSUE OF RULE OF LAW, BUT THE POINT OF THIS PARALLEL ACTIVITY REMAINS NEBULOUS AT PRESENT. POST THINKS REAL MOVEMENT ON LAND CANNOT OCCUR WITHOUT ATTENTION TO THE OVERARCHING PROBLEM OF RULE OF LAW IN ZIMBABWE. WE REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT BOTH URGE THE UNITED NATIONS TO CONVEY THAT MESSAGE IN ITS FOLLOW-ON MISSION'S DEALINGS WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF ZIMBABWE AND SUGGEST THAT FURTHER TECHNICAL MISSIONS NOT BE FIELDED UNTIL THAT PROBLEM IS ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED.
