A training initiative, led by the British Expertise International, forms part of a wider Southern Africa regional capacity building programme, funded by the UK, which will benefit Madagascar, Mauritius, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The PPP training marks another milestone in UK’s confidence building measures with regards to strengthening UK-Zimbabwe economic ties.
The British Government is keen to promote UK-Zimbabwe trade for the benefit of both countries and it is my sincere hope that some of the outcomes of this training will include:
- Increasing knowledge and understanding of PPP’s and help promote a more predictable business environment in Zimbabwe for UK and other foreign investors.
- Enhancing Zimbabwe’s capacity in the use of PPP’s to reduce Zimbabwe market access barriers thus creating a conducive environment to unlock stagnated infrastructure projects in Zimbabwe whilst promoting exports of UK’s technical expertise.
Ambassador Catriona Laing who launched the training at a ceremony in Harare said, the UK Government remains committed to supporting the aspirations of the people of Zimbabwe for a more stable and prosperous Zimbabwe.
