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.

“Since our last High-Level Structured Dialogue Platform Meeting in June 2023, and following the successful National Harmonised General Elections in August 2023, the reforms and modernization of various aspects of our public sector have been scaled up.

Meanwhile, transformative infrastructure development technologies across the country are changing the quality of life for all people. The funding of these is mainly through domestic resources and non-concessional external financing,” said President Mnangagwa.

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 successful implementation of our arrears clearance and debt resolution strategy is key for Zimbabwe to unlock new concessional external financing critical for achieving our economic development objectives. I call for the continued support from international financial institutions, partners, our creditors, and the international community for the arrears clearance and debt resolution process,” said President Mnangagwa.
