AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Green Jobs & Clean Energy: Practical Action Zimbabwe says it has created 400 green jobs in Mabvuku and Tafara by running a solar-powered clean energy and resource recovery centre that pays waste pickers on the spot and trains residents in carpentry and welding. Local Medicines Push: Zimbabwe’s pharmaceutical manufacturers are urging Government to prioritise locally made medicines in public procurement after local purchases reportedly fell to about 1% over four years, despite domestic capacity to produce much of the country’s essential drugs. Mining Oversight: Harare authorities plan a task force to tackle illegal mining after reports from Bindura linked galamsey to damage to roads, land, and the Mazowe River, plus health risks like silicosis and TB. Critical Minerals & Processing: A DRC export ban on copper and cobalt concentrates is expected to have limited impact on Chinese firms already operating processing lines locally, highlighting the race for beneficiation. Livestock Genetics: Government-backed breeding and artificial insemination programmes are supporting Zimbabwe’s drive to grow the national cattle herd to six million by 2030 using improved genetics and adapted breeds. Agro-Processing Livelihoods: In Binga’s Lusulu, villagers are moving from subsistence to value addition through community agro-processing equipment that turns crops into sellable products like stockfeed, peanut butter, and honey. Transport & Safety: Bulawayo passengers and operators complain of harassment by kombi and bus touts at Fourth Avenue terminus, prompting Government to move on the issue. Border Trade Facilitation: SADC is pushing a Simplified Trade Regime to cut costs and speed up cross-border commerce for small traders, including Zimbabwe. Mining Skills Pipeline: The Zimbabwe School of Mines graduation highlights that mining growth constraints are increasingly “human capital” related, with demand for engineers and new skills tied to digitalisation and lithium processing. Zimbabwe T20 League Plans: Flash Sports & Media says a proposed Zimbabwe T20 League is targeted for Oct–Nov 2026, with venues under consideration including Harare Sports Club and Bulawayo.
