Baseline survey on the state of the informal economy in the cultural and creative sectors in Zimbabwe commissioned by ILO and UNESCO:  Questionnaire for Organisations/Institutions.   

The survey seeks to establish evidence and information to enhance the understanding of:

b) the differences in various sub-sectors in the overall cultural and creative industries.

c)  the legal and policy framework applicable to the sectors.

d) the various types of stakeholders in the sectors and their degree of vulnerability.

e)  the different components of decent work deficits within the informal economy (social protection, labour rights, organizations, skills etc.)

The survey report will include the five aspects listed above and propose policy approaches to guide relevant stakeholders (Ministry of Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare; the Ministry of Youth, Sports, Arts and Recreation and relevant sectoral employers’ organizations and workers’ organizations, and relevant civil society organizations) to reduce decent work deficits in the sector and facilitate its transition to formality.

It covers the following sub-sectors visual arts, performing arts (music, theatre); writing and publishing; motion pictures, video and television programme production; video games; sound recording and music publishing; programming and broadcasting; crafts and design; fashion.
