The Zimbabwe of today

• Scourge of patronage and gross abuse of power and culture of “chefdom”.
• A decline in capacity and capability to deliver throughout the economy and society.
• Human capital erosion, attrition and lack of capacity to replace and produce new skills and capacities needed in different sectors of the economy.
• A failure in policy making and implementation, resulting in stillborn attempts to turn around the economy.
• A failure in leadership, resulting in short-term and ad hoc policies that have not yielded positive results.

The Zimbabwe we will create

• Establish the key role of the state in facilitating and regulating rather than controlling industrialisation.
• Establish tax incentives and loans through the banking system to support industrialization and boost production.
• Generate greater national and foreign investment.
• Support the manufacturing sector as one of the major drivers of growth, employment and generation of foreign currency.
• Generate competitiveness and efficiency of the manufacturing sector.
• Improve the supply of raw materials for manufacturing.
• Establish frameworks for the diaspora to play an important role in support of industrialization as both active participants and investors.
• Restore the rule of law, particularly in the mining sector which is critical for foreign currency inflows through the sales of gold, platinum, diamonds, chrome and other minerals.
• Monitor transparency and accountability, particularly in the mining sector.
• Establish programmes to protect the environment in the mining industry.
• Support the beneficiation of minerals in Zimbabwe to create employment and grow the economy.
• Support the improvement and expansion of the information and communications technology industries as a key for technological enhancement and employment creation.
