Zim’s Public Sector Has Scaled Up: President Mnangagwa

President Emmerson Mnangagwa announced on Monday at the High-Level Structured Dialogue meeting in Harare that Zimbabwe has accelerated its public sector reforms and modernization efforts, following the country’s successful National Harmonised General Elections in August 2023.

In his speech, President Mnangagwa stated that the last High-Level Structured Dialogue Platform meeting in June 2023, followed by the general elections in August, paved the way for scaling up reforms and modernization within the public sector.

The President also underscored that successfully implementing Zimbabwe’s arrears clearance and debt resolution strategy is crucial for the country’s economic recovery. He called for continued support from the international community.

The dialogue featured prominent guests, including Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank, and former Mozambican President Joaquim Chissano as the high-level facilitator.

Government representatives, creditors, development partners, civil society organizations, and the private sector were among delegates at the sixth dialogue forum. The meeting aimed to update stakeholders on the progress made in addressing the country’s debt clearance efforts.
