As part of President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa's ongoing push for economic empowerment and inclusive growth, the Zimbabwean government has disbursed over USD $300,000 in Revolving Funds to various affiliate groups to support youth, women, and SME-led ventures.
The fund was officially handed over during a ceremony held at the ZANU-PF Headquarters, with the Presidential Special Investment Advisor, Dr. Paul Tunguwara, presenting the funds to affiliate leaders. The initiative is designed to bolster grassroots entrepreneurship, promote self-reliance, and reduce unemployment by providing accessible financial support for small-scale enterprises.
Dr. Tunguwara emphasised that the Revolving Fund is a strategic tool to catalyse sustainable business ventures and drive innovation within local communities. He reiterated the government's commitment to empowering citizens economically, especially those running or starting small and medium-sized enterprises.
The beneficiaries, drawn from different sectors, are expected to use the funds to start or expand businesses, particularly in agriculture, manufacturing, and services—sectors that are vital to Zimbabwe's economic transformation agenda.
This disbursement reinforces the government's broader vision to build an inclusive economy where young people, women, and emerging entrepreneurs are equipped with the tools to succeed. Through initiatives like this, Zimbabwe aims to nurture a thriving SME sector that contributes meaningfully to national development.
