The Second Republic implemented 6 869 development projects between 2019 and 2022, with 4 984, both Government and private sector-led, now complete and the rest being actively worked on as they move towards completion, Cabinet was told yesterday. The developments are a key enabler towards the attainment of an empowered upper middle-income society envisioned by President Mnangagwa by 2030. Coinciding with a period in which the global economy has been pushed back by Covid-19 headwinds resulting in a global economic shrink, Zimbabwe’s performance is not only the best accelerated development spell the country has ever experienced but also a shining example for the subdued global economy. Right from his assumption of duty, President Mnangagwa emphasised that his Government would prioritise projects that improve people’s lives through the strategic deployment of Government resources. He was committed to, and delivered, a business enabling environment resulting in the flow of capital back into the economy after years of regression. A major highlight of implemented projects is their strategic national spread as informed by the President’s thrust of leaving no place and no one behind in the national development plan. Minister of State for Presidential Affairs and Monitoring Implementation of Government Programmes, Dr Joram Gumbo presented the compendium of the development projects to Cabinet which shows that the highest number of completed projects, 37,4 percent or 1 866, are listed under infrastructure.
