How Zimbabwe can achieve its vision of prosperity
Executive summary
Zimbabwe’s Vision 2030 Agenda outlines an ambitious plan to transform the nation into an upper-middle-income country by 2030, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. The plan focuses on both economic growth and social progress, highlighting the need for a comprehensive development approach. Nations with more open and efficient economic, political, and legal systems typically experience greater prosperity and well-being.
A key component of Vision 2030 is creating an effective business environment that fosters entrepreneurship and attracts foreign direct investment (FDI). Gender equality and women’s empowerment are integral to this vision, as harnessing the full potential of the population can drive economic productivity and innovation. By fostering an environment that attracts FDI and supports entrepreneurship, Zimbabwe aims to create a robust economic foundation for durable prosperity.
