AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Water & Infrastructure: Government increased monthly funding for the Gwayi-Shangani Dam from US$5m to US$8m, pushing the project to 82% completion with hopes of finishing by year-end, while also positioning it to unlock irrigation, energy and industry in Matabeleland. Climate & Agriculture: As El Niño risk rises, Zimbabwe is betting on solar-powered irrigation to keep food production steady when rains fail, with officials urging better use of dams and solar to protect rural livelihoods. Mining & Jobs: Artisanal and small-scale gold miners met Government and finance players in Bulawayo to tackle barriers to formal finance and speed up mercury-free processing adoption, while mine surveyors and the Junior Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe renewed calls for formalisation and compliance. Energy & Industry: First Lady Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa launched Solar4She to boost women’s participation across the solar value chain, and Zimbabwe showcased e-mobility progress at the Agricultural Show as EVs gain traction. Governance & Risk: Zimbabwe’s improved risk profile follows the World Bank delisting it from fragile states, a move meant to unlock more investment. Public Safety: President Mnangagwa declared a State of Disaster after a Chivhu crash killed 27 on the Harare–Masvingo highway. Media & Connectivity: Government targets 85% radio coverage and 42% TV coverage by year-end, backed by new transmitters and ZBC’s Z+ OTT platform. Land Rights: MACRAD condemned Chilonga evictions tied to a lucerne project, calling for stronger land and property protections. Procurement Scrutiny: An MP questioned a US$27m cancer equipment procurement, alleging major cost inflation.
