FOREWORD

To become an Upper Middle-Income Society

by 2030, the country must deliver infrastructure
projects and services that support structural
transformation of the economy, drive productivity
growth, jobs creation and improvements in the
welfare of citizens over the long-term.

Scaling up infrastructure investment and delivery

from both the public and private sectors is one of
the pathways to unlocking sustainable economic
growth and development and provides the resilience necessary for the country
to respond to adverse exogenous shocks. Enabling infrastructure services also
allows the country to take advantage of opportunities that exist on the global
stage.

In addition to policy reforms meant to create the right conditions for private
sector participation in public infrastructure provision, Treasury will deepen policy
reforms as part of the fiscal consolidation measures towards Public Investment
Management that addresses current bottlenecks in the infrastructure sector.

Such reforms will include the development of a strong conceptual framework for
mainstreaming climate change into the different phases of infrastructure projects,
addressing weaknesses in procurement processes, contract management,
value for money and other project delivery challenges.

Additionally, provision of infrastructure services in this era of globalisation should

be considered from a holistic point of view. As a nation, there is need to consider
not only investment in-country but also encompass cross-border infrastructure.
This can be accelerated through identifying appropriate modalities and options
for strengthening the role of regional cooperation in all areas of infrastructure
development.

5
Whilst investments in new capacity remains critical in order to meet increasing
demand for services, maintaining current assets will also ensure public
infrastructure assets are more durable, economical and sustainable over time.
I therefore commend the 2023 Infrastructure Investment Programme to public
entities, private sector, civil society and cooperating partners as well as other
stakeholders as it provides a clear link between the NDS1 goals and objectives
and the Budget.

PREFACE

The world we live in today is fundamentally

changing with new, complex and interacting
sources of uncertainty for every country that
requires difficult policy choices at every turn. The
economic transformation we seek to pursue is
an opportunity to shape the country in a way that
benefits those living today as well as those who will
follow.

The nascent economic recovery currently underway requires sustenance through

increased better investment spending and efficient management of infrastructure
assets as key enablers to sustainable economic growth, creation of decent jobs
and income as well as reduction of inequalities within communities.

The efficiency and effectiveness of public spending, therefore also supports

macroeconomic stability, increases Budget flexibility and fiscal space to respond
to any exigencies whilst also allowing for more resources to be channelled
towards developmental programmes and projects.

As part of the fiscal consolidation measures, Government has taken a deliberate

policy to ensure every dollar of public spending is as effective as can be, including
those from infrastructure outlays, in order to help in curbing price and exchange
rate volatility.

Noting that public procurement constitutes a large share of the economy, how
and where Government procures goods and services impacts the behaviour of
economic agents and promotes responsible business practices.

In this regard, enforcing the value for money principle on all transactions will
result in Government getting fair value prices for all goods and services procured.

7
Government will, therefore, monitor every step of the project life cycle, from
appraisal, prioritisation and selection, financing, procurement, construction as
well as operations and maintenance, to ensure that due process is followed and
costs are justifiable and sustainable and where necessary, remedial action will
be taken.

Accordingly, the 2023 Infrastructure Investment Programme will prioritise

implementation of ongoing projects and programmes targeting those nearing
completion to ensure citizens benefit from services coming from these
investments.

INTRODUCTION

1. Infrastructure facilitates trade, powers businesses, connects workers to

their jobs, creates opportunities for struggling communities and protects

the nation from an increasingly unpredictable natural environment.

2. Well planned and well implemented infrastructure investments contribute

towards improved provision of public services, which in turn, support

sustainable economic growth and development, help countries respond

effectively to emergency social needs of citizens and build resilience

against climate change and natural disasters.

3. For the economy to integrate with other economies both regional and
international, appropriate infrastructure in the form of roads, aviation,
railways, information and technology and power, as well as their efficient

operation, is required.

4. The infrastructure needs of the country, whose funding requirement

is estimated at well over US$3 billion annually, far exceeds resources
that can be mobilised in a fiscally sustainable way, whether from
borrowings, taxes and private sector through Public Private Partnership
Arrangements. Therefore, to bridge the funding gap, focus should also

be on spending better, all available funding opportunities.

5. The country has experienced incidences of poorly designed projects,

with large cost overruns and long delays in construction. Even as the

9
 projects are completed, they have low returns to communities after

completion, as related downstream investments would not have been

undertaken due to poor coordination among stakeholders.

6. Other projects have been mired in high-profile corruption scandals and

stalled due to a high degree of information asymmetry that makes it

harder to detect inefficiencies that emanate through inflated prices, poor

workmanship and quality of the delivered asset.

7. A key priority during 2023 should, therefore, be on instituting measures

that address losses and waste in public infrastructure spending through

among other things:

• Enforcement of best practices in costing of projects, procurement

and contract management;

• Provision of guidelines on contract pricing as well as input costs, to

ensure costs are reflective of market fundamentals;

• Crowding in of private sector funding through Public Private

Partnerships, which brings with it, private sector innovation and

efficiency in public infrastructure service provision;

• Design and implementation of climate proofing and resilient

infrastructure in order to respond to climate change impacts;

• Improvements in infrastructure governance system that addresses

performance of public institutions providing infrastructure services;

10
 • Implementation of cost reflective but economically sustainable tariffs;

• The existence of a bankable project pipeline that attract investors in

our key sectors of the economy;

• Improvement in project management and coordination among all the

relevant project stakeholders;

• Ensuring transparency in project procurement processes that should

incorporate value for money principles; and

• Capacity building measures including allowing for outsourcing of

critical skills that might not be residing within Government.

2022 Infrastructure Investment Summit

8. The inaugural Infrastructure Summit that was held in Victoria Falls during

the period 8–9 September, 2022, brought together stakeholders in the

sector from Government, private sector, development partners and the

construction industry.

9. Organised by the National Economic Consultative Forum (NECF) and

running under the theme; “Harnessing the Potential of Public Private
Partnerships (PPPs) to Resolve Infrastructure Challenges in
Zimbabwe”, the Summit sought to find ways of addressing challenges

affecting infrastructure development in Zimbabwe.

10. During deliberations, a stable macro-economic environment, presence

of bankable projects and affordable, long-term financing were identified

11
 as critical in crowding in additional private sector funding to address the

huge infrastructure gap in the country.

11. The following were some of the recommendations from the Summit:-

• Need to invest in feasibility studies and other project development

activities to ensure a pipeline of bankable projects ready for the

market. Noting the under-utilisation of the Project Preparation

Development Fund, established for the purpose, stakeholders

implored Government to review its operational framework with a view

to ensuring resources are accessible to implementing agencies;

• Sectors should fully develop PPP frameworks, such as the

Government Implementation Agreement for solar projects, which
take into account private sector concerns whilst also addressing

weaknesses in the public sector;

• Need to develop the institutional, technical, and regulatory capacities

of the public sector to plan, finance, implement, operate and manage

public infrastructure assets;

• ZIDA should be capacitated to enable it to take its central role in

linking public sector projects and investors, including establishing a

central repository of infrastructural projects ready for the market;

• Prioritise repairs and maintenance of current infrastructure assets

over new projects in order to reduce costly rehabilitation programmes
as well as ensure such assets continue to provide reliable services;
and

12
 • The need for cost reflective tariffs and measures to close revenue

leakages that undermine cash generation capacities of public entities

involved in infrastructure provision.

12. The 2023 National Infrastructure Investment Programme responses

to these stakeholder concerns and input, by providing a framework

for improving the public investment environment in the country whilst

also creating the conditions necessary for private sector participation in

infrastructure development.

13. The infrastructure architecture will be improved with each project being

considered from a full life cycle perspective, including rules related to

budgeting for infrastructure maintenance.

14. A framework will be developed and implemented for infrastructure asset

management. In this regard, measures will be taken to ensure public

entities charged with maintenance of public infrastructure assets improve

their governance systems, including improving their revenue collection

systems, retention of critical staff and build capacity to maintain such

assets.

15. Furthermore, the Project Preparation Development Fund will be

strengthened in coordination with the Zimbabwe Investment and

Development Agency (ZIDA), and the Infrastructure Development Bank

of Zimbabwe (IDBZ) to deliver a robust pipeline of projects.

13
16. Enforcement of best practices in costing and contract management of

projects will be implemented and strategies adopted to optimise value

for money from every infrastructure outlay.

17. Benefiting from the commissioning of the Beitbridge Redevelopment

Project Phase I, public-private partnerships will be embraced in cases

where they deliver better value for money in order to crowd in additional
funding for projects.

PROGRESS ON 2022 INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY

18. Out of the 2022 Revised Capital Budget of ZWL$507.3 billion which

includes ZWL$52.5 billion for devolution, ZWL$295.4 billion is meant for

infrastructure development. Outlays towards infrastructure for the period

to September are as follows:

• Fiscal resources, ZWL$157.8 billion;

• Development Partners support, US$15.9 million;

• Loans, US$142.9 million;

• Statutory funds, ZWL$57.9 billion.

14
19. The table below provides a summary of the deployment of the resources

to the various sectors.

Development Expenditures by Sector (as at 30 September 2022)

TOTAL 157,825,835,183 57,903,000,000 142,498,833 15,930,551

20. These investments have ensured progress on targeted projects,

transforming livelihoods of communities and the doing business

environment. In particular, we have seen notable progress on the following

flagship and high impactful projects under NDS1 among others:-

• The upgrading and modernisation of the Beitbridge Border Post

under a 17-year Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) arrangement

between the Government and Zim Borders Consortium, with Phase

I having being commissioned on 31 August, 2022;

• Construction of the New Parliament Building in Mt Hampden through

a grant from the People’s Republic of China;

15
• Harare-Masvingo-Beitbridge Road Upgrading project that has seen

353km being opened to traffic as at 23 October 2022;

• 600MW Hwange 7 and 8 Power Plant Expansion Project, with Unit 7

expected to come on stream before year end and Unit 8 during the

first quarter of 2023;

• Upgrading of the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, with

the runways and taxiways rehabilitation having been completed,

international terminal building and expansion as well as airfield

ground lighting still work in progress with works expected to be

complete during the first half of 2023;

• Construction of Gwayi Shangani dam in Matabeleland North, now at

69% with the entire dam project now targeted for completion during

the year 2023;

• Development of 50 irrigation schemes covering 6 865ha through

the Turnkey and the National Accelerated Irrigation Development

Programme;

• Completion of Bindura University of Science Education female halls

of residence;

• Construction of Manyame Hospital in Harare;

• Construction of residential flats in Dzivarasekwa, Marondera and

Senga (Gweru); and

• Implementation of the Zimbabwe Digital Migration Project.

16
21. Notable developments have also been realised on the construction and

upgrading of several roads, dams and irrigation infrastructure, education

and health facilities as well as energy and Information Communication

Technology roll out programmes among other key interventions.

22. Several community projects, being undertaken through the Inter-

Governmental Fiscal Transfers allocation were also completed, with

others at various stages of construction.

2023 INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT PLAN

23. Accomplishment of the National Development Strategy (NDS1)

performance targets largely depend on how Ministries Departments

and Agencies efficiently and effectively implement planned projects and

programmes that ensures delivery of desired outputs and outcomes.

24. Resource outlays under the 2023 National Infrastructure Investment Plan
will prioritise on-going and stalled projects over new projects in order
to ensure sustainability of our interventions under the difficult global
and domestic financial conditions. Priority will also be accorded to the

rehabilitation and maintenance of existing infrastructure.

25. Costs for projects and allocations thereof during 2023 will be based
on consideration of technical engineering designs, prevailing market

rates/prices, and where possible, benchmarked against regional and

international standards, including alignment to similar projects.

17
26. Due consideration has also been aligned to the technical capacity of

institutions involved in project delivery, particularly their ability to plan

and coordinate execution of projects as some public entities continue to

register low budget execution rates.

27. During implementation of the 2023 National Budget, development of

Gantt charts, sequencing and timing of project implementation activities

will facilitate development of a predictable resource disbursement plan

that should enable project managers to plan and execute the projects.

28. Furthermore, respective implementing agencies will be expected to

develop a robust monitoring and evaluation plan for each of the targeted

projects under their purview that allows for multi stakeholder dialogue and

resolution to challenges affecting the country’s infrastructure delivery.

Value For Money and Public Sector Investment Programme

29. Government is concerned with malpractices in costing of projects and

programmes which in some instances have been marred with future

pricing and exorbitant pricing aimed at profiteering which has negatively

affected the macroeconomic fundamentals.

30. Most contracts have been based on tender prices as compared to

deriving contracts from quantified volumes and prices. In this regard,

Government on the 4th of August, 2022, requested all Government

Ministries, Departments and Agencies to undergo a revalidation exercise

18
 on costings of projects, programmes including equipment procurement

with the objective to ensure value for money in all public procurement.

31. The thrust by Government is clear that all fiscal outlays on projects

and programmes must, of necessity, add value to communities and

thus, contribute to the overall economic growth and development of the

country.

32. In this regard, Government will monitor every step of the project life

cycle for all major infrastructure projects, to ensure that due process is

followed, and where necessary, remedial action is taken.

33. Institutions undertaking projects and managing infrastructure assets will

be required to strengthen their operations and maintenance programmes.

34. In order to achieve the set targets and ensure that citizens benefit

from investments made, implementing agencies should concurrently

develop monitoring and evaluation frameworks for their targeted projects

including integrating the monitoring and evaluation issues before project

execution.

2023 Infrastructure Funding Mix

35. The Overall support towards the 2023 Development Budget including

Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfers amounts to ZWL$1.1 trillion, with

funding being mobilised through the respective funding mix as follows:

19
 • Tax revenues ZW$490.8 billion;

• Loan financing ZWL$497.8 billion;

• Development Partners support ZWL$19.8 billion;

• Statutory funds ZW$134.4 billion.

36. The table below shows the distribution of the infrastructure outlay

under the various sectors.

DIGITAL ECONOMY

37. The ICT sector is the bedrock in the establishment of a digital economy,

and central to the overall transformation of the economy with potential to

generate new employment opportunities, improved business efficiencies,

and access to information and knowledge services.

20
38. In our context, paramount is the need to bridge the digital gap between

the rural communities and the urban communities, necessitating the need

for increased access through the establishment of more base stations,

optic fibre broadband expansion and other supportive ICT infrastructure

to support programs such as smart city, smart learning, smart health,

smart agriculture and smart social protection.

39. Government has, during the course of the year, achieved the following

milestones under the sector:

• Established 75 ICT Labs under the E-learning Strategy;

• Connected 649 Schools to the Internet;

• Maintenance and rollout of national systems such as Public Finance

Management System (PFMS), Human Resources Management

Information System (HRMIS), e-Government flagships and various

Online Service Systems;

• Operationalised 63 PFMS Kiosks;

• Capacitated 1,680 Civil Servants and Citizens in ICT’s;

• Provided connectivity to 9 Public Service Commission Training

Centres;

• Established 11 Community Information Centres.

40. To fully benefit from the rapid growth in ICTs and unlock the digital

transformation of the economy, strategic investments in enabling

21
 infrastructure, digital skills, financial services and entrepreneurship will

need to be upscaled.

41. The overall support towards the ICT sector of ZWL$56.7 billion during

2023 is meant to improve ongoing initiatives in the sector, with ZWL$1.3

billion having been set aside for various e-Government programmes and

ZWL$45 billion for backbone infrastructure implemented by Telone.

Digital Infrastructure

42. Despite the multiple benefits of connectivity to communities, fibre

backbone only connects major cities and urban areas, with the rural

areas still to be connected. Furthermore, the last-mile fixed infrastructure

deployments to end-user premises is limited, forcing users to depend on

costly mobile and user networks to access the internet.

43. To address the limited use of broadband services in the absence of

infrastructure, Government introduced infrastructure sharing as a strategy

to open access and limit duplication of infrastructure and redirecting
resources to under-served communities.

44. Through the Universal Services Fund (USF), POTRAZ has channelled

resources towards network expansion in underserved areas, by

targeting presence of mobile networks to more rural areas, deployment

of a microwave radio backhaul network, telemedicine, smart agriculture,

internet connectivity for schools, e-learning, and the building of

22
 Community Information Centres. These interventions are consistent with

Government’s thrust of leaving no-one and no place behind.

45. Mobile operators remain the main providers of broadband connections,

with an estimated combined population coverage of 93.4 percent for 2G

mobile networks, 83.9 percent for 3G networks, and 34.9 percent for

Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, according to POTRAZ.

46. Attracting further investments in the sector would require the

implementation of a cost reflective and affordable tariff, competitive

market environment and policy measures to drive demand for broadband

services.

E-Government

47. Government digital platforms, such as the PFMS, the HRMIS, and the

payroll and pensions systems, facilitate uptake of technologies and the

digital economy, help drive public sector operational efficiencies, reduce

opportunities for fraud and corruption as well as increase accountability.

48. Most MDAs have established their own digital platforms, operating largely

in isolation from each other, resulting in fragmentation and fractured

landscape of digital systems and services whilst making interoperability

and data sharing between systems difficult.

23
49. Through the e-Government Standards Development Technical Working

Group, Government is establishing a framework to standardise the

development and operation of ICT systems within the public service,

including strengthening coordination and inter-operability for data sharing

among the various MDAs, and optimise on the available technical skills

across government.

50. To sustain current public sector systems development and improvements,

fiscal outlays towards e-Government interventions during 2023 amount

to ZWL$1.3 billion as shown in the table below.

Mining Cadastral System

51. A computer-based cadastre mining system adopted by Government

provides instant and up to date information on mining claims status

including ownership of mining claims. This initiative is expected to

provide impetus to the realisation of the US$12 billion mining industry by

the year 2023.

52. The system has since been successfully rolled out in Manicaland
Province and is expected to be fully operational in other provinces during

2023. Once complete, the system will bring transparency in licensing of

claims and improve management of mining titles, critical for attracting

investment in the sector.

53. Accordingly, in support of the aforesaid programme, an amount of

ZWL$1.6 billion has been set aside under the 2023 National Budget for

that purpose.

25
 Digital Entrepreneurship

54. The country has potential for the development of digital entrepreneurship,

given its well-educated population, presence of private sector actors and

improvements in the regulatory environment.

55. This will be complemented by establishment of dialogue between the

public and private sector on how entrepreneurship can be accelerated.

Zim-Digital Migration Project

56. The nation embarked on a journey to migrate the broadcasting sector

from the analogue to digital transmission in line with the international
best practice. Progress to date stands at 43% with 18 transmitter sites

out of a target of 48 having been established.

57. In the region, Zimbabwe is among the countries which are yet to fully
digitalise the broadcasting services. As a way of deriving benefits from
the initial investment, in 2022, 50 000 set top boxes were purchased,
now awaiting pre-shipment inspection with US$504,000 being disbursed
towards high end upgrade, which is expected to enable households to
enjoy the new digital broadcasting services This may be mitigated by
smart TVs that now come with “in-built capacity” to receive digital signals.
This should be the way forward.

58. To ensure that the society continue to reap the benefits from the project

investments, ZWL$1.5 billion has been provided for in the 2023 National

26
 Budget targeting the construction of base stations, installation of radio

and TV transmitters, procurement of High-End upgrade and capacitation

of ZBC through upgrading of the broadcasting studios.

Integrated Electronic Case Management System

59. Government is currently implementing the Integrated Electronic Case

Management system targeting the digitalisation of all courts in line with

new technologies and the need to ensure efficiency in the delivery of

justice with consistency and collective effort by all justice delivery players.

60. Key to note is that, once fully embraced and operationalised, the system

will bring in a justice serving mechanism that is transparent, efficient,

affordable whilst protecting the interests of witnesses, reducing the

backlog of pending cases, and most importantly reducing the number of

corrupt activities.

61. Phase 1 of the project has been completed and commissioned by His

Excellency, President E. D. Mnangagwa covering the Constitutional

Court, Supreme Court, High Court and Commercial Court.

62. In order to support ongoing works under phase 2 of the programme

targeting Labour Court, Administration Court, Sheriff of the High Court

as well as Magistrates Court, resources amounting to ZWL$500 million

are being set aside for this purpose.

27
 Development Projects Management Information Systems

63. Government is in the process of establishing the Development Projects

Management Information Systems (DevProMIS), which is a web-based
system with three (3) modules namely, the Development Assistance
Database, Public Investment Management Suite and Monitoring and
Evaluation Module.

64. The System is intended to improve the management of development

assistance, enhance comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of
all development projects, as well as, provide a database of all public
investment projects.

65. To date system installation and user acceptance training have since
been completed whilst the entire system is expected to be operational in

the first quarter of 2023.

ENERGY

66. The sector is key to sustainable economic growth and development and
hence the need to promote the management of both renewable and now

renewable energy sources.

67. Electricity generation has however, faced a number of challenges over

the years, including obsolete generation equipment and infrastructure,

inadequate financing, and other structural bottlenecks, exerting pressure

on the supply side that has manifested through load shedding.

28
68. In this regard, our strategic objective under the sector remains centered

on a cost reflective tariff critical for ensuring a reliable and adequate

power supply.

69. Investments towards plant optimization at Hwange Thermal Power

Station as well as increased generation at Kariba Power Station has seen

local electricity generation output increase to 7 038.52 GWh during the

period January to September 2022, up from the 6 229.20 GWh recorded

during the same period last year.

70. Kariba Power Station contributed 67.24%, Hwange Power Station added

26.94% whilst the Small Thermals only contributed 1.40% to the total

energy production. The Independent Power Producers contributed

4.41% to local electricity generation.

71. The table below indicates electricity generation for the country.

72. To this end, Government will embrace bold strategies to ensure

investments in power generation, transmission and distribution

29
 infrastructure at the same time increasing private sector participation

with the view of promoting Independent Power Producers.

73. Progress on the Hwange 7 and 8 Expansion Project is proceeding

smoothly and is on course for Unit 7 to be completed by year end and
provide an additional 300MW to the grid. Unit 8 is also expected to come
onstream during the first quarter of 2023 and will add another 300MW to
the national grid.

Installed steam turbine and generator for unit 7    Cooling tower for units 7 & 8

74. The overall progress of the project as at end of September 2022 stood at
94.57% with Commissioning and Synchronising works remaining.

75. The above progress notwithstanding, additional electricity generation

output is required that addresses the energy shortfall and ensures energy
security for the economy.

76. During 2023, an amount of US$472 million will be injected on the project

from the China Exim Bank loan facility to support ongoing works, with an

30
 additional ZWL$20.1 billion being mobilised by the parastatal for local
works whilst ZWL$3 billion will be channeled from the fiscus towards

meeting counterpart financing for the project.

77. The above progress notwithstanding, additional electricity generation

output is required that addresses the energy shortfall and ensure energy

security for the economy.

Independent Power Producers

78. ZERA has licensed more than 60 IPPs in the renewable energy space,
with a capacity of around 2000MW, however, off take of the projects
has been low owing to viability challenges. With the technical assistance
of the African Legal Support Facility (ALSF) Government is working to
improve the bankability of IPP projects, reduce currency related risks

and accelerate the implementation of renewable energy projects.

79. In addition, the AfDB has granted Zimbabwe a US$1.5 million-dollar

facility to help the country develop solar, hydropower and thermal power
projects that are bankable.

Rural Electrification Programme

80. It is envisaged that rural development will be accelerated through

electrification of rural areas. Efforts are being made towards promotion

of the use of renewable energy for power generation in order to achieve

ZERO harm to the environment.

31
81. Rural Electrification Programme has been a topical issue in as far as
trying to improve access to electricity for the rural population mainly
through solar grid and mini grid extensions as well as biogas projects.

82. To date, 437 solar grids, 430 solar micro-grids, 1 community solar and 89
biogas digesters have been installed.

83. For the year 2023, a combined allocation amounting to ZWL$19.3 billion
will be availed (ZWL$18.3 billion from Rural Electrification Fund) and
(ZWL$1 billion from the fiscus) to accelerate electricity transmission and
off-grid solutions to rural areas in order to improve electricity access.

84. This intervention will also help rural schools to cope up with education 5.0
that focuses on innovation and industrialisation a catalyst for achieving
Vision 2030.

85. The table below indicates the targeted interventions under the
programme.

86. The Zimbabwe Power Company and the Zimbabwe Electricity

Transmission & Distribution Company using own resources will prioritise

the following key interventions, among others:-

• Refurbishment and new installations for the Public Lighting System

in the major cities of Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru and Mutare;

• Hwange 1-6 life extension;

• Sherwood-Manhize 400kV line and substation project.

TRANSPORT

87. Transportation infrastructure supports economic growth and development

by increasing trade and promoting electronic governance, connectivity,
and simplification. In line with the national vision, Government’s
interventions in the transport sector seek to address bottlenecks affecting
access to major centers in order to foster economic development and
trade facilitation.

88. Therefore, priority is on ensuring road, rail and air services are seamlessly

connected within the country as well as the region. This will enhance

33
 economic competitiveness while facilitating domestic, regional as well

as international trade.

89. The focus in the sector will also include the harmonization of traffic signs

to meet the agreed uniform signage in line with SADC agreed standards.

This standardisation programme is aimed at reducing road accidents

resulting from mis-interpretation of the traffic signs by the drivers.

90. The commissioning of Phase 1 of the modernised Beitbridge Border

Post through a public private partnership framework demonstrates

Government’s commitment to the transformation of transport services

from landlocked to a land linked country.

91. Such a framework is already being considered for rolling out to other

ports of entry as measures to reduce costs related to the country’s import

and export of commodities as well as transit cargo.

92. Overall support towards the transport sector during 2023 amounts to

ZWL$194.8 billion, of which ZWL$177.4 billion is earmarked for the roads

sector, ZWL$13.4 billion and ZWL$4 billion being channeled towards

rehabilitation and upgrading of airports and rail system, respectively.

Roads

93. The Road Development Programme continues to be prioritised. In this

regard, support has mainly been targeted at the upgrading of the Harare-

34
 Masvingo-Beitbridge Road and rehabilitation of other trunk roads linking

border posts and major centres as well as those being implemented

under the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme II.

94. Lack of routine maintenance for extended periods has invariably led

to deterioration of the road network which is a cost to the economy in

the form of long travelling hours, high vehicle operating costs and road
carnage.

95. Admittedly, due to underperformance of the rail sector, heavy goods

vehicles now transport more than 90% of cargo in and out of Zimbabwe

thus, putting pressure and damage to the road network as well as causing

congestion.

96. Going forward, policy measures are being pursued to ensure road

authorities adequately maintain the network, including recently upgraded

and rehabilitated road assets by leveraging resources being mobilised

through the Road Fund.

97. In the absence of external support, Government will continue to use

domestic resources to undertake construction and rehabilitation of

roads across the country. To make meaningful progress, this will require

concerted efforts for domestic resource mobilisation to support the

desired economic transformation.

35
98. The 2023 National Budget is therefore, setting aside ZWL$194.8 billion
towards interventions in the road sector, covering construction upgrading
and rehabilitation.

Mbudzi Traffic Interchange

102. The construction of Mbudzi Traffic Interchange meant to complement the

ongoing widening and reconstruction of the Beitbridge-Harare-Chirundu
highway by eliminating vehicle congestion at the intersection of Simon
Mazorodze Road and roads linking Chitungwiza and surrounding
residential areas with traffic along the Harare-Masvingo Road is
progressing well and is expected to be complete and opened to traffic in
2023.

103. The engineering works involve construction of 13 major bridge structures,

with 4 of them having been completed whilst works are ongoing on 5

bridges.

37
38
 Mbudzi Interchange Bridge

104. Targeted works for 2023 include the following:—

• Construction of 9 bridges, including the main bridge;

• Backfilling of bridge approaches; and

• Construction of 14 approach roads, including diversion routes of

Amalinda road and its bridge.

Bridges and Other Roads

105. The year 2023 will also see the construction, rehabilitation and upgrading

of other priority bridges and road projects as follows:

• Upgrading of 7.8 km of Harare-Chirundu Road through a Japan

International Cooperation Aid (JICA) with resources amounting to

JPY97 million (approximately) USD$1.7 million;

39
 • Construction of 10 km on Harare-Kanyemba starting with the missing

link between Mahuhwe and Mushumbi area;

• Construction of 8km on Golden Valley Sanyati Road;

• 5km road construction on Alaska Copper Queen Road;

• 11km road construction on Mushandirapamwe – Hwedza; and

• Rwenya bridge construction.

Section of the 6.5km constructed along Makuti - Chirundu Road

Rural Feeder Roads

106. In an effort to ensure increased access and coverage of road network

especially in underserviced and marginalised areas of the country,

40
 Government through the District Development Fund (DDF) is regravelling

and maintaining rural feeder roads. This has seen works covering over

134km having been rehabilitated and re-gravelled, whilst 16 wash aways

were reclaimed during the year 2022.

107. The 2023 Budget will continue to deepen investments in rural road

infrastructure with an allocation of ZWL$3 billion being made in support

of this critical agenda to be implemented through DDF.

Emergency Roads Rehabilitation Programme II

108. The commuting public is now realizing the fruits from the ongoing roads

rehabilitation works by Government which commenced in February

2021. This noble intervention has since resulted in cost savings in vehicle

operation and maintenance costs as well as travelling time savings.

109. Already, resources amounting to ZWL$45.9 billion have been availed,

with ZWL$30.7 billion being disbursed from the budget and ZWL$15.2

billion from the Road Fund managed through ZINARA.

110. Overall progress realised under the programme is as follows:

• Over 2 000km roads have been rehabilitation and gravelled;

• 6 628km have been graded;

• 701 drainage structures constructed or repaired;

41
 • 184 wash aways reclaimed;

• 4 491.5km of drains have been opened;

• 6 141km of verges have been cleared with progress continuing on

the patching of potholes with a cumulative of 4 794,8km having been

attended to.

111. The above progress has seen attainment of specific milestones, through
the respective Road Authorities, among others, as indicated below:

Ø Completion of restoration works on Cyclone Idai damaged

roads;

Ø Completion of Masvingo Urban Dualization (4 lanes);

Ø Surfacing of Granges Road in Belvedere, Harare;

Ø Construction of 11km Delport road in progress in Epworth,

Harare; and

Ø Rehabilitation of the following road networks: -

112. The Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme II will continue to be

accorded priority as Government seeks to improve the entire country’s

road network.

113. In order to ensure value for money in the implementation of works under

Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme II, the Ministry of Transport

and Infrastructural Development will develop a Standardised Framework

for adoption and use by all road authorities.

114. Resultantly, to fully consolidate the implementation of Emergency Road

Rehabilitation II, resources amounting to ZWL$155 billion have been

allocated and will be availed as follows:

Aviation

115. Construction works on the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport

Expansion Project is progressing well and now at an advanced stage of

completion (around 75.26%), with the contractor now focusing on the

following works:

• Decoration of new terminal buildings;

• Procurement and installation of equipment such as secondary radar,

boarding aerobridges, baggage handling system, docking system

and scanners.

47
116. The expected date of completion for the new terminal buildings is May

2023. After that, construction of VVIP Pavalion and rehabilitation of the

existing International and domestic Terminal buildings will be carried out

immediately.

117. The project involves the construction of a new airport terminal, and

aprons, four new bridges, a secondary radar system, a VIP pavilion, an

airfield ground lighting, and communication system among other things.

118. On completion, the airport will be a game changer as this will handle

an additional 3.5 million passengers annually from the current capacity

of 2.5 million being handled by the existing facilities. With no doubt, the

airport will become one of the regional aviation hubs that should attract

more airlines and thereby facilitating tourist arrivals in the country.

119. Additionally, plans are underway to facilitate the modernization of the

Victoria Falls International Airport given that Victoria Falls is a regional

hub for tourism.

Rail

120. Rail infrastructure network remains key towards the provision of bulk

raw materials, finished goods and even passengers by connecting both

domestic and regional major economic centres.

48
121. Concern is however on the current network challenges associated with

aging track infrastructure and obsolete rail signaling and communication

equipment which require urgent rehabilitation and upgrading.

122. Accordingly, it remains critical that tangible actions and measures be

implored and implemented towards the revamping of the sub-sector as

this can save the damage to the road infrastructure.

123. Ensuring that NRZ recovers capacity has, therefore, become very

urgent through rehabilitation and expansion of rail infrastructure and the

acquisition of new wagons and locomotives.

124. Under the initial NRZ Recapitalisation phase, funding options are being

considered for procurement of locomotives, wagons and passenger

trains that will be used to improve the generation of cashflows to support

the recovery.

Border Posts

125. Recognising the importance of border posts in facilitating movement and

connectivity critical for international trade, Government will facilitate the

refurbishment of three major land border posts through Public Private

Partnerships (PPPs) targeting Chirundu, Plumtree and Forbes.

49
126. Already, works under the second phase of the expansion and

modernization of the Beitbridge Border Post were launched in September

2022 by by His Excellency Cde E.D Mnangangwa giving an impetus

on the ongoing infrastructure development programme and plans to

develop a second bridge across the Limpopo to enhance movement and

connectivity.

127. The project scope of modernization of the Beitbridge Border Post includes
upgrade of the entire border post commercial facilities (freight terminal,
bus terminal, pedestrian terminal), Information Communication and
Technology infrastructure, construction of a number of social projects to
improve the town of Beitbridge infrastructure such as a fire station, plant
and animal quarantine facility, residential buildings, a sewage dam, and

new water reservoirs.

128. Works on the Beitbridge Border Post Modernization Project is progressing

in earnest with Phase 1 and 2 works having been completed and now
operational. Current works relate to Phase 3 activities which comprise
construction of 11.5 megalitres water tank, houses and dualization of
the road from the Border Post to Harare-Bulawayo Road Junction and
access road to the new residential housing project are advancing well
and should be completed in the year 2023.

50

129. Additionally, Government is further exploring ways to relocate Forbes

Border Post, the port of entry linking Zimbabwe and Mozambique, to the

east with the dualisation of Mutare -Plumtree Road remaining a priority

to facilitate vehicle movement.

130. With regards to Chirundu, expansion and refurbishment of the existing

border infrastructure facilities will be given priority given its strategic
location and preferred gateway for the North-South corridor. This will

entail modernisation of surrounding amenities such as health centres,

warehouse facilities and supermarkets, among others.

52
 Beitbridge border post warehouse

131. Works to align the country’s border at Kazungula with Botswana and

Zambia will also be accelerated, benefiting from the construction of

the road connecting Kazungula Bridge, in order to support trade and

transport along the North-South Corridor, as well as the Trans-African

Highway on the Cape to Cairo route.

132. The long-term objective by Government is to ensure a smooth and

continuous network coupled with requisite ancillary infrastructure such

as world class roads that meet international standards and eliminate all

forms of trade bottlenecks at ports of entry. That means all infrastructure

53
 and major roads linking all border posts must be made to international

standards.

WATER AND SANITATION

133. Water is a critical enabler for different sectors of the economy and a

basic human right essential for improving the standard and quality of life

among the citizens of Zimbabwe.

134. The country’s national water supply situation is characterised by low

coverage and limited access to water with only 63% of the population

having access to at least basic water supply. Regrettably, there is notable

rural-urban divide with 48% of the rural population having access to at

least basic water supply as compared to 93% in urban.

135. In addition, there is high incidence of aged, obsolete, and overloaded

infrastructure with high water losses and limited service in some

communities, in both rural and urban areas.

136. Specifically, urban water supply is mainly affected by the following:

• Shortage and limited access to water treatment chemicals;

• Lack of planned maintenance, upgrading, and construction of new

water infrastructure;

• Non-cost reflective water tariffs making it difficult for reinvestments to

sustain service delivery;

54
 • Poor billing and low collection efficiency which undermine revenue

generation and financial performance;

• Unplanned peri-urban settlements with no access to WASH services;

• Pollution of raw water sources;

• Reduction in raw water sources due to climate change induced

droughts;

• Power shortages at treatment plants; and

• High non-revenue water (39.8%).

137. In view of the above, provision of clean and safe water is at the heart

of ensuring that communities have proper sanitation facilities which are

important for health and wellbeing.

138. Government’s focus under this sector has been towards dam construction,

rehabilitation & upgrading of water supply schemes, as well as borehole

drilling and rehabilitation.

Dam Construction

139. Resources amounting to ZWL$35.1 billion were availed during the

period January to September 2022 targeting dam construction projects

with priority being on sustaining on-going works on key projects such as

Chivhu and Gwayi-Shangani dams.

55
140. Specifically, an amount of ZWL$2.6 billion was channeled towards the

implementation of Chivhu dam which is now at 98% completion level and

ready for commissioning.

Chivhu dam

141. In addition, an amount of ZWL$11.4 billion was expended on Gwayi

Shangani Dam which is now scheduled for completion during 2023

and now at 69%. The availed resources enabled the contractor to cast

concrete on the dam wall to a height of 31m out of the target of 72m,

among other critical activities.

56
 Construction of Gwayi Shangani Dam

142. In 2023, the Government will upscale investment in water infrastructure

to improve service access by communities as well as open opportunities

in the other sectors of energy, agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, and

industry, that will positively drive the country’s economic transformation.

143. While priority will be accorded to key interventions that will mitigate the

effects of climate change to ensure adaptation and resilience, the 2023

Budget will specifically focus on the following key intervention areas:

• Sustaining ongoing dam construction projects;

• Supporting the development of a master plan for all dams;

• Implementing a clear programme to progressively utilise capacity of

already existing water bodies for industrial, domestic and irrigation

purposes;

• Intensification of rehabilitation and upgrading of existing water and

sanitation infrastructure, among others, with focus on the integrated

57
 water supply development approach already adopted by Government;

and

• Ensuring sustainability on the provision of water through ensuring

that the User-Pay-Principle is applied across all water using sub-

sectors.

144. In view of the above, the 2023 Budget makes a provision of ZWL$30.4

billion towards the above.

145. Execution of the Gwayi-Shangani dam will be prioritised given that

its completion is a significant milestone in the implementation of the

National Matabeleland Zambezi Water Project which, when complete,

will bring significant improvement in the water situation in Matabeleland

North including the City of Bulawayo.

146. In this regard, an amount of ZWL$6.3 billion is being proposed to sustain

ongoing works and ensure completion of the project during 2023.

147. Government will also facilitate ongoing works at other dam construction

projects such as Kunzvi, Tuli-Manyange, Semwa, Ziminya, and Vungu,

with an overall allocation of ZWL$15.4 billion.

148. The Table below indicates the specific allocations and works targeted

during 2023.

149. Noting the number of existing idle water bodies in the country including
Tugwi-Mukosi, Marovanyati, and Muchekeranwa dams, a deliberate

programme targeted at maximising benefits from such investments, will

be undertaken.

150. In this regard, an amount of ZWL$42.5 billion has been set aside towards

development of irrigation infrastructure, fisheries and water conveyancing

systems, among other interventions.

Borehole Drilling

151. Under the Presidential Rural Development Programme, a total of 50 rigs

(ZINWA 40 and DDF 10) were procured with 10 under ZINWA having

been delivered and allocated to each of the country’s 10 Provinces. The

rigs have already commenced work and to date 270 boreholes have

been drilled countrywide.

152. Moreover, a total of 747 boreholes (ZINWA 275, DDF 230, and

Development Partners 242) have been drilled country wide at community

and institutional levels.

153. With regards to rehabilitation works, a total of 4,788 hand pumps have

been rehabilitated & repaired to enable access to water to all communities.

 Rural WASH

154. Adaptation to the effects of climate change and climate variability has

resulted in the development of 51 solar powered piped water schemes

across the country, rehabilitation and uprating of 4 water supply schemes

(Chivhu, Parirewa, Gokwe, and Nyanga) and development of irrigation

schemes using existing water bodies.

155. In view of sanitation and hygiene, four hundred and seven (407) villages

have been triggered for behavior change and for the attainment of an

Open Defecation Free (ODF) status with community sanitation & hygiene

structures having been set up.

156. During 2023, priority will be towards strengthening sector information

management through rolling out the Rural WASH Information

Management System, Urban WASH Information Management System,

and ground water modelling.

Rural Development Programme

157. In line with the focus of NDS1 on rural development, the Government

has a commitment to accelerate the Presidential Rural Development

Programme, which covers interventions including borehole drilling,

solarisation, development of horticulture gardens, water supply, livestock

production and fisheries in order to improve livelihoods and quality of life

for rural communities.

61
158. The programme has a target of drilling of 8,600 boreholes which will be

equipped with solar powered systems as the country moves towards

climate smart forms of energy and efficient technologies.

159. In addition, there is also a new component aimed at rehabilitating and

equipping 2,500 existing boreholes with hand pumps and equipping

another 2,500 boreholes with solar pumps in order to empower our rural
communities.

160. In order to support the above interventions, the 2023 Budget makes a

provision of ZWL$2.1 billion towards the Rural Development Programme.

Water Supply Schemes for Small Towns and Growth Points

161. In line with the thrust of “leaving no one behind”, focus during 2023 is

directed towards improving access to water in small towns and growth

points through provision of water supply schemes to communities

experiencing water challenges.

162. In addition, rehabilitation and upgrading of existing water supply schemes

is among the strategic interventions being targeted to ensure availability

of clean, and safe drinking water for the communities.

163. The 2023 Budget makes a provision of ZWL$2.1 billion to ensure

achievement of the above interventions specifically targeting projects

HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

164. Health and well-being are fundamental pre-requisites to, as well as

beneficiaries of socio-economic development, towards attainment of
Vision 2030.

165. The global Covid 19 pandemic, which has since subsided, presented
an opportunity for our health delivery sector to reflect on its efficiencies
and capacities in infrastructure, prerequisite curative and diagnosis
equipment, and rapid response services. Government has, therefore,
over the past 2 years invested significantly in health infrastructure, medical
equipment and ambulances, covering all levels of care, increasing its
readiness for any future pandemics.

166. On 13th May 2022, His Excellency, President E.D Mnangagwa presided-
over the ceremonial opening of the NMS-built Stoneridge Health Centre,
that will see the construction of thirty 22-bed Health Centres Facility.

167. Significant progress has been made on Cowdry Park Health Centre
in Bulawayo and is expected to be completed by year-end, whilst

64
 preparatory works are underway for other facilities in Mberengwa and
Chimanimani.

Stoneridge Health Centre

Manyame Hospital

168. The President also commissioned 32 state-of-art fully equipped

ambulances. This development is set to contribute greatly towards

reduction in avoidable maternal deaths, road traffic accident causalities,

as well as improving the general patient transportation and referral

65
 systems.

169. The supply, delivery and installation of high-tech medical equipment

under a Programme to modernise the health sector and ensure world-

class services was a major stride towards the implementation of NDS1.

170. Pieces of equipment under this programme included magnetic resonance

imaging machines, image intensifiers, fixed digital X-ray machines, mobile

digital X-ray machines, anaesthetic machines, ophthalmic microscopes,

dental sets, vital signs monitors, Covid-19 virtual hospital equipment,

ventilators, theatre lights, multi-parameter monitors and ultrasound scan

machines.

171. In its endeavor to increase access to health services in marginalised

areas, Government completed the construction of seven rural health

centers, whilst the procurement of assorted basic medical equipment

is currently underway. Through the support of our development partner

(UNICEF), boreholes were drill at 10 primary health facilities, whilst 14

other centers are now solar powered.

172. The rehabilitation and expansion of wards, kitchens, and laundry facilities

at Chiredzi, Binga, Chipinge, Gokwe South, Guruve, and Kariba district

hospitals were completed. Critical sections, comprising the maternity,

theatres and out-patient and casualty departments at Masvingo and

Victoria Provincial Hospitals were also rehabilitated during 2022.

66
173. The renovations of two medical residential suites at Mpilo Central

Hospital were completed during the first half of 2022 and whilst three

more, with a total capacity of 18 apartments, will be ready for occupation

before year-end.

174. The 250-bed Lupane Provincial Hospital in Matabeleland North, is now

nearing completion and ongoing works include the development of

central stores, a pharmacy, a casualty section, an outpatient department

and an administration block. Also under construction are junior staff flats,

a maternity block, a surgical ward, a pediatric ward, a dental and eye

clinic, as well as antenatal and post-natal sections.

175. Implementation of the First Phase of the Health Informational

Management System (HIMS) is underway, with Mpilo and Chitungwiza

Central Hospitals now connected. The System is now being rolled to all

Central Hospitals by year-end.

176. As the country accelerates progress towards ending AIDS and public

health therapy by the year 2030, in September 2022, Government

also commissioned Gweru provincial hospital opportunistic infections

antiretroviral therapy center that will cater for over 3 500 people who are

in need of HIV specialized care and support.

177. During the year 2023, public health investment thrust will mostly
be focusing on consolidating and strengthening the critical health

67
 interventions which have received lesser attention in the past two years,
as the country concentrated mainly on the Covid 19 pandemic. This
rejuvenation drive will ensure the full utilisation of excess capacities and

related co-benefits in infrastructure and equipment utility steered by the

COVID-19 fight.

178. The resuscitation of operating theatres, expansion of all diagnostic

units at Central and Provincial Hospitals and establishment of adequate

blood banks and storage facilities, expansion of dental units and support

services such as staff accommodation, canteens and medical waste

incinerators, among others will be prioritised.

Central and Quinary Hospitals

179. Our Central hospitals have transited into lower entry-point, mainly due

Covid 19 emergencies and some inefficiencies that had crept into the

referral system. Therefore, massive investments in the renovation and

rehabilitation at these institutions has become paramount.

180. In this regard, the 2023 Budget makes a provision of ZW$19.8 billion

towards the rehabilitation of the 6 central hospitals.

181. Following the establishment and accreditation of additional medical

schools, the Ministry of Health and Child Care, in collaboration with

the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology

68
 Development and related stakeholders, is establishing a stand-alone

research and teaching hospital. To kick-start this programme, an amount

of ZW$1.2 billion has been set-aside towards the project.

Provincial Hospitals

182. The transformation of Gweru Provincial Hospital into a Medical Centre

of Excellence through the provision of modern equipment has motivated

Government to replicate the model to Masvingo and Chinhoyi Provincial

Hospitals. Resources amounting to ZW$716 million are hereby being

allocated on these facilities targeting the procurement of high-tech

equipment and refurbishment activities.

183. The establishment of the long-awaited Gwanda and Bindura Provincial

Hospitals have become imminent due to rapidly expanding populations

and absence of district hospitals within these major urban centres. In this

regard, the 2023 Budget proposes to avail ZW$792 million for the pre-

requisite preparatory works.

184. The completion of Lupane Provincial Hospital under phase 1, which has

been on the cards since 2007 is becoming a reality for Matabeleland

North Province. To ensure seamless delivery for corresponding

services, ZW$3.5 billion will be channelled towards the final touches and

procurement of equipment, before works on Phase 2 commence.

69
 Casualty Block Outpatients Block

District Hospitals and Mission Hospitals

185. District hospitals, being the mainstay of the health referral system, play

a critical role in ensuring that quality health services are delivered closer

to the rural populace.

186. Accordingly, Government has taken a deliberate decision to target 12

hospitals in 2023 at a cost of ZW$1.8 billion. Targeted works will include

replacement of now inefficient plant and equipment laundry, kitchens,

incinerators among others.

187. In addition, mission hospitals have played a crucial role in the provision
of medical services in some rural areas, where Government, is yet to
establish comprehensive secondary care facilities. In this regard, an
amount of ZW$154 million will be allocated to selected 5 faith-based
hospitals in 2023.

70
 Primary Health Care

188. In line with leaving no-one and no place behind philosophy, Central
and Local Governments, in 2023, will continue to roll out more primary
health facilities aimed at ensuring that all settlements are within the
recommended 5-kilometre radius to health services.

189. Government in 2023, will spearhead the completion of the rural health
centre projects through an allocation of ZWL$9.3 billion as indicated in
the table below:

Project Targeted works Amount (ZW$)

Completion of clinics under Completion of Sai, Kezi, Kanyemba,
6,000,000,000

Total 9,335,000,000

190. Local Authorities are urged to continue developing rural health centres

and health posts in their jurisdiction utilising the IGFT allocation.

Ambulances & Medical Equipment

191. During 2023 Government will procure additional ambulances, service

vehicles as well as essential medical equipment. An amount of ZW$3

billion has been set aside for this purpose.

71
HUMAN CAPITAL DEVEPOPMENT AND WELL-BEING

Basic Education

192. As part of Government efforts to improve access to quality and inclusive

education, resources amounting to ZWL$270 million were channelled

towards construction of 35 new schools across the country whose

implementation modalities have been agreed upon through an Inter-

Ministerial Committee.

193. Already under the programme, preparatory works such as school site
establishment and clearance have been completed and tendering

processes for the supply and delivery of materials is currently underway.

194. During 2023, focus will be on completion of the 35 schools which

incorporates equipping them with requisite furniture and equipment

which include science laboratories equipment in order to align them with

modern institutions.

195. In addition, resources amounting to ZWL$210 million were availed

targeting the rehabilitation of storm damaged infrastructure with works

such as repair of windows and blown away roofs done on 230 classroom

blocks and teachers houses countrywide.

72
196. Government will also prioritise investments towards the ICT services and

provision of digital tools in schools in line with technological advancement.

Already the responsible Ministry has engaged educational partners like

UNICEF, and Microsoft through a program called GIGA to connect schools

in the country.

197. In this regard, the 2023 National Budget will allocate ZWL$600 million

to source the required ICT equipment for all schools as part of the

digitization drive.

198. Riding on the Rural Electrification Programme, the 2023 Budget will

prioritise the electrification of selected rural schools through the Rural

Electrification Agency which will be complimented by solarisation

exercise through Development Partner support.

Tertiary Education

199. The 2022 National Budget kick started the implementation of Gender

Responsive Budgeting aimed at ensuring that Budgets are gender

responsive in line with our Constitution, regional and international gender

equality and women empowerment conventions/protocols to which our

government has acceded to.

200. In line with this thrust, Bindura University of Science Education has

successfully completed the construction of a student female hostel which

is set to ease accommodation challenges for 352 female students who

73
 might be susceptible to abuse if they fail to secure decent accommodation

in the surrounding suburbs.

201. Additionally, priority by Government under the sector has been towards

the provision of teaching and learning infrastructure mainly focusing on

the construction of lecture theatres at new state universities as well as

provision of additional infrastructure at already established universities.

202. In support of this drive, resources amounting to ZWL$5.1 billion were

availed, which have seen the successful completion of lecture theatre

at Manicaland University of Applied Sciences and the Simon Mazorodze

School of Medical and Health Sciences at Great Zimbabwe University

with the capacity to enrol 40 medical students as well as construction of

other facilities at State Universities, Teachers Colleges and Polytechnics.

74
 Simon Mazorodze School of Medical and Health Sciences, Great Zimbabwe University

203. Consistent with the NDS1 strategic objectives, the focus during 2023

will therefore be on construction, rehabilitation and upgrading of facilities

as well as provision of equipment and ICT services in order to embrace

e-learning at institutes of higher education.

204. Accordingly, in support of the infrastructure interventions under the

education sector, an amount of ZWL$14 billion has been allocated

towards activities as indicated in the table below.

205. In order to complement Government efforts towards provision of student

accommodation, the Infrastructure Development Bank of Zimbabwe
working with the private sector embarked on the construction of the
Bulawayo Student Accommodation Complex which comprise three
blocks of flats with the capacity to house 1 032 students.

206. The intention for the Bulawayo Student Accommodation Complex is to

alleviate accommodation challenges for tertiary institutions in Bulawayo
which include the National University of Science and Technology,
Zimbabwe School of Mines and Hillside Teachers Collage among others.

207. Notable progress has been achieved with the construction of two blocks
[B3 and B1] having been completed and now ready for occupation before

end of 2022.

208. Upon completion, the project will provide a commercial centre on the
ground floor of each block that should allow the operationalisation of

restaurant, supermarket, entertainment centre, bookshop, doctors’

rooms, saloon, pharmacy among others.

78
 Bulawayo Student Accommodation Complex Completed Block

209. Under the same arrangement of crowding in private sector and institutional

investors on infrastructure projects, the year 2023 will see the construction

of Lupane Student Accommodation Complex that should accommodate 1

836 students, warden’s houses including a commercial centre in Lupane.

High Performance Computing Center Phase II

210. Government successfully completed the construction of the High

Performance Computing System at the University of Zimbabwe with the

grant of the People’s Republic of China. Phase II of the project, which

would entail increasing the computing power and storage capacity for

the HPC system, has completed letter exchange between Zimbabwean

and Chinese side.

79
211. Phase II shall address the development of meteorological monitoring,

mineral explorations, life sciences, agriculture and e-government among

other services. The capacity development of local engineers who would

maintain the system has already been done.

Modernisation of Public Service Academy Institutions

212. The Public Service Academy (PSA) is an integration of 14 public service

training institutes including the Zimbabwe Institute of Public Administration

and Management (ZIPAM). It is the principal vehicle through which all
public sector human capacity development are executed.

213. To this end the PSA endeavors to contribute to economic growth

through modernizing the infrastructure and architecture of training
and development in the Public Service. This will be achieved through
upgrading training, residential and conferencing facilities to standards
obtaining in the hotel and conferencing sector.

214. To this end, the 2023 Budget has set aside ZWL$2 billion to support the
planned modernization programmes as indicated in the table below.

HOUSING DELIVERY

215. In line with the Zimbabwe National Human Settlement Policy aimed at

providing guidance on the development of housing and social amenities

in the country and the NDS1, Government intends to facilitate the

construction of 225 000 new housing units drawing funding from both

the public and private sector as well as international funders by the year

2025.

216. This thrust entails densification of settlements that include the creation of

smart cities, adoption of cost-effective housing units that are affordable to

citizens and the use of alternative building technologies and designs that
confirm to climatic changes shocks and generally speak to modernity.

217. Resources amounting to ZWL$14.3 billion have been channeled towards

the housing sector between January and September 2022 in support

of various housing delivery projects in an effort to address the current

housing backlog.

81
218. Supported projects range from the construction of residential flats,

institutional accommodation and Government composite office blocks

as well as servicing of residential stands.

Residential Accommodation

219. With regards to construction of flats, work is progressing well in the

construction of residential accommodation in Marondera, Senga and

Dzivarasekwa.

220. In this regard, the initial four blocks of flats for Senga and Marondera

are targeted for completion in 2023. In addition, 3 blocks of flats at

Dzivarasekwa have been roofed whilst 1 block is still under construction.

82
 Block of flats under construction in Marondera

221. The focus during 2023 will continue to be on ensuring that our settlements
are well organized whilst at the same time having the requisite
infrastructure that defines a properly structured settlement.

222. Given the above and also taking into consideration settlements such
as Caledonia, Harare South and Garikai/Hlalani Kuhle which were
developed without onsite and offsite infrastructure, among other ancillary
services, Government will continue to work with our institutions of higher
learning to develop settlement plans for such areas in fulfillment of the
agenda of regularising illegal settlements.

223. In terms of servicing of stands, Government with the assistance of the

private sector will continue to develop offsite and onsite infrastructure for
various housing development programmes across the country.

83
224. Already, the Infrastructure Development of Zimbabwe working with a

private landowner has entered into a contract to service 114 ultra-low

density stands in Willsgrove area of Bulawayo which should see the

provision of surfaced roads, water and electricity reticulation, among

other offsite and onsite infrastructure requirements.

225. The same arrangement will be undertaken in Gwanda which will involve

the servicing of 133 high density stands measuring an average of 300

square metres.

226. The new modern and cost-effective alternative housing building

technologies that are resilient to climate change already adopted by

Government will continue to be accorded priority during the year 2023.

227. Furthermore, Government has supported the construction of houses for

victims of floods in Binga and Chimanimani which will go a long way in

ensuring that the affected families have a solution to their accommodation

challenges.

228. Construction of the New Parliament Building through a grant from the

People’s Republic of China in Mt Hampden, Harare has since been

completed and now awaiting finalisation of the following enabling works

by Government, among others:

• Construction of additional parking bays;

• Additional parking slope protection;

• Landscaping;

• Permanent water tank;

• Dedicated powerline; and

• ICT connectivity to the building.

85
229. Completion of the remaining works will pave way for occupation for both

Senate and National Assembly, as well as, other ancillary facilities.

Completed New Parliament Building

230. Government has also been constructing 4 story blocks of composite

offices in Lupane which are intended to house various Government
Ministries and Departments which at the moment are operating from
Bulawayo and Hwange.

231. Construction of the four blocks have been completed with outstanding
works including installation of Telone cables, substation dressing, laying
of cables from feeder pillar to the substation, installation of gutters and
completion of sunscreens as well as balustrading.

86
 Lupane Provincial Composite Office Block

232. The focus during 2023 will be on completion of ongoing works at various
composite offices including Mutoko and Siakobvu District Composite
Offices, among other projects countrywide.

233. Notwithstanding resource limitations, support towards construction of

staff accommodation for Zimbabwe National Army, Zimbabwe Prisons
and Correctional Services, ZIMRA and Immigration, among other key

Government Departments amounting to ZWL$6.6 billion will be provided.

234. Critical interventions were also undertaken towards prison and court
infrastructure resulting in the completion of Lupane Magistrates Court,
Chikurubi female open prison as well as rehabilitation and upgrading

87
of various buildings under the same that are now at different stages of
completion.

Recently completed Lupane Magistrates Court

235. In 2023 Government will accelerate the upgrading and construction of

court and prison infrastructure in order to improve the face of the existing

infrastructure in these institutions.

236. With regards to institutional accommodation for the Zimbabwe National

Army and Airforce of Zimbabwe, focus has mainly been on construction

and rehabilitation of existing facilities across the barracks.

237. Already, at Dzivarasekwa, a total of 30 houses have been completed

whilst the other 30 are at various stages of completion. In addition, 18
housing units were successfully completed at Imbizo.

238. Below is a pictorial view of the works that were undertaken at Dzivarasekwa
in 2022:—

89
 Housing Units at Dzivarasekwa under construction

239. In 2023, Government is targeting construction of 100 housing units and

20 flats at Dzivarasekwa, whilst the target for Imbizo is 15 housing units
and 20 flats.

240. Resources amounting to ZWL$3.3 billion is being set aside for these

projects during 2023.

241. Furthermore, Government has embarked on enhanced maintenance

and rehabilitation of infrastructure programme for ZNA and AFZ and to
date, significant progress has been registered with various cantonment
areas already face lifted and renewed.

242. Among the supported cantonment areas under the programme is

Amaganyana Barracks in Plumtree, Gimboki Barracks in Mutare, William
Ndangana in Chipinge, Imbizo Barracks, Charles Gumbo Barack in
Harare, and Manyame Air Base.

90
243. In order to upscale our intervention under this noble programme,

ZWL$3.1 billion has been set aside in support of the already identified

cantonment areas.

244. In honour of the fallen veterans of Africa’s liberation wars and as a way of

documenting wars fought in the continent, Government in concurrence

with other African States began the construction of the Museum of

African Liberation in July 2022 which will also be complimented by the

construction of the Liberation mall through private sector participation.

245. In this regard, foundation works mainly targeting excavations have since

been undertaken whilst the contractor during 2023 will be focusing on

the superstructure of the building, roofing, mechanical and electrical

installation, among others.

246. The 2023 Budget has therefore, made an allocation of ZWL$4.9 billion

for this project.

Civil Service Housing Fund

247. As a way of motivating public officials, Government will continue to

capitalize the revolving Housing Loan Schemes for both Senior and

Junior officials with resources for on lending to beneficiaries. These

facilities continue to make great strides in ensuring that public officials

acquire decent residential accommodation.

91
248. The 2023 National budget is allocating resources amounting to ZWL$7.5

billion towards resourcing both the Senior Officers Housing Scheme and

the Junior officers housing scheme.

249. Government, through the institutional set ups for both senior officers and

junior officers will work on measures that should ensure full recoveries

from eligible beneficiaries whilst at the same time addressing sustainability

issues to the Fund.

FOOD AND NUTRITION

Irrigation Development

250. Improved food security and nutrition remains at the core of Government’s

initiatives under the National Development Strategy 1. In this regard,

interventions towards the same have mainly been focused on the National

Accelerated Irrigation Development and Rehabilitation Programme

targeting irrigation rehabilitation and development, maintenance of

communal irrigation schemes and capacitation of A2 farmers.

251. In support of the above intervention an amount of ZWL$3.5 billion was

expended during between January to September 2022 targeting the

following:

i. Development of 21 Irrigation projects through the Turnkey Phase 1

programme wherein to date 16 projects covering 1 005ha out of the

92
 target of 1 592 ha have been completed and construction works are

ongoing on 5 projects covering 432ha;

ii. Turnkey Phase 2 which is targeting 5 415ha of land on 32 projects

with 3 projects covering 350ha having been completed whilst works

are in progress on 4 projects covering 552 ha;

iii. Pedstock Center Pivot Facility where a total of 61 pivots have been

delivered out of a target of 80. A total of 52 pivots have been installed

with 47 of them now irrigating a combined area of 2 020ha out of the

targeted 2 900ha;

iv. Smallholder Irrigation Revitalisation Program (SIRP) being co-funded

by the Government of Zimbabwe and IFAD where 2 800ha are now

irrigating out of the targeted 6 100ha; and

v. Completion of feasibility studies and detailed designs for 10 out of

21 projects under the Green Climate Fund. Implementation of the

projects is expected to commence in 2023.

Animal Disease Prevention and Control

258. Government’s continued effort in preventing loss of cattle from theileriosis,

commonly known as January disease caused by ticks, is evidenced by the

construction of new as well as rehabilitation of existing dipping facilities

across the country and the increasing frequency of dipping sessions.

98
259. The country has a total of 4,099 dip tanks out of which 3,969 are

functional, with 400 having been rehabilitated during 2022 and targeted

for commissioning this summer season.

260. An amount of ZWL$590 million has been set aside targeting construction

of 40 dip tanks and rehabilitation of 500 dip tanks across the country.

261. Additionally, in order to minimise cases of human and wildlife conflict

and the outbreaks of diseases such as anthrax and foot and mouth, an

amount of ZWL$514.2 million has been set aside targeting fencing of the

remaining 42km at Gonarezhou National Park.

CLIMATE CHANGE MAINSTREAMING

262. A changing climate and the resulting more extreme weather events are

presenting a direct threat to the design and lifespan of critical public

infrastructure, as well as significant knock-on effects for those relying on

the services these assets deliver.

263. Government takes cognisance of these climate-related shocks which

have become more frequent and extreme in recent years posing

serious threats to sustainable development with adverse impacts on

99
 the environment, human health, agriculture, food security, economic

activities, natural resources and physical infrastructure.

264. The 2022 Budget laid a strong foundation for creating a more climate-

resilient, prosperous economy through formally mainstreaming climate-

related expenditures in the National Budget.

265. As the world emerges from the Covid 19 pandemic, the 2023 Budget will

build on that foundation, with a goal of accelerating the pace of progress

while considering the challenging global and regional ecological and

economic conditions.

266. The mainstreaming of climate mitigation and adaptation innovations and

strategies will continuously buffer the impacts of climate change, through

diversifying economic activities targeted at reducing vulnerability whilst

increasing the resilience of communities.

267. In 2023, a financial resource tracking tool (DevPromis) will be deployed to

assist in the monitoring of the Government’s climate action expenditures.

268. To this end, the 2023 National Budget has streamlined ZWL$182.1 billion

towards climate resilience building programmes:

100

269. The National Adaptation Plan (NPA), expected to be launched later this

year, will provide a detailed roadmap towards steering the implementation

of robust and coordinated resilience-building programmes in infrastructure

development, livelihoods and transition safeguard guides, including

associated financing strategies.

270. Government appreciates the support from the Development Partners in

adaptation activities which are currently underway as indicated in the

271. Opportunities lie in the private sector, where corporates can not only
reduce their own risks from the impacts of climate change but also take
advantage of new markets and businesses in the adaptation space.

DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT

272. As we endeavour to improve disaster risk management in view of climate

change and other contemporary hazards, there is need to strengthen our

102
 preparedness, recovery and resilience building through capitalisation of
Disaster Risk Management structures up to village level.

273. Appropriate equipment and supporting infrastructure such as evacuation

centres and warehouses should be put in place. The recovery projects of
Chimanimani, Tsholotsho and Binga are to be fully funded to completion
as they are degenerating into an eyesore, thereby building backlogs in
our recovery and resilience building efforts.

274. In this regard Treasury is setting aside resources amounting to ZWL$3

billion targeting the completion of houses being constructed for flood
victims in Chimanimani, Tsholotsho and Binga as well as capacitation of
the Civil Protection Unit (CPU)

DEVOLUTION

275. The year 2023 marks the fourth year since the fiscus started allocating
resources to the lower tiers of Government through the 5% Inter-
Governmental Fiscal Transfers as enshrined in the Constitution.

276. Within this context, Inter-governmental Fiscal Transfers made by the

Central Government to lower tiers of Government continues to bear positive
fruits as evidenced by a greater number of high impactful completed and
ongoing projects and programmes within various sectors of the economy.

277. Targeted interventions were on projects and programmes in the Health,

Education, Water & Sanitation, Transport and other social amenities

103
 with the main focus being on construction and rehabilitation of roads,
schools, clinics and boreholes, as well as procurement of equipment
among others.

278. During the year 2022, resources amounting to ZWL$16.7 billion have so
far been disbursed as indicated in the table below.

279. The overpricing of goods and services by contractors did not spare
the devolution programme. In this regard, it affected the coverage of

programmes and projects being implemented.

281. Whilst notable progress has been witnessed in the implementation of the

devolution programme, the current Intergovernmental Fiscal Transfer

formula is not adequately addressing the issues of marginalisation in

various lower tiers of government.

282. Pursuant to the above, work is at an advanced stage through wider

stakeholder consultations to develop the Intergovernmental Fiscal

Transfer Administrative Manual that should see the review of the current

formula and come up with the one that brings fairness in terms of resource

allocations and utilisation thereof.

283. Additionally, Government is in the process of developing the requisite

policy, regulatory and institutional frameworks necessary to fully

operationalize and entrench implementation of the devolution agenda.

This initiative will also ensure accountability and transparency of the

fiscal grant.

114
284. To ensure smooth implementation of programmed works, capacity building

programmes will be rolled out to ensure that Government officials both

within Central Government and Local Tiers of government responsible for

spearheading the implementation of community-based projects will acquire

the requisite expertise and skills.

285. Pursuant to the above, the 2023 National Budget will provide resources

amounting to ZWL$195.5 billion being 5% of the anticipated revenues

during the year for Inter-Governmental Fiscal Transfers to local tiers of

Government as indicated in the table below:

YOUTH AND WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

Women Empowerment

288. Government is implementing various initiatives that impact positively on

women. The ongoing initiatives include the following:

116
 • Funding of women’s projects through the women Development Fund

and the Zimbabwe Women Microfinance Bank,

• Capacity building of women enterprises or projects in order to provide

business, technical and life skills,

• Revitalisation of women empowerment clubs,

• Creation of market linkages and exposing women ‘s products to

local, regional and international markets,

• Value chain development to promote rural industrialisation and

benefit women in rural areas,

• Development of infrastructure for provision of workspace to women

entrepreneurs,

• Formulation of policy, gender mainstreaming, fighting Gender Based

Violence and formation of an umbrella or Apex body for women

business associations.

289. In support of the above-mentioned initiatives, during the year 2022

Government through the Zimbabwe Women Microfinance Bank

disbursed ZWL$250 million to 7 150 projects comprising 6 193 women

and 957 men which resulted in the creation of 11 700 jobs and livelihoods

transformation of many societies.

290. In addition, to date 85 projects have been funded through the Women

Development Fund valued at ZWL$153 million which benefited 260

women. The year 2022 also witnessed a total of 4 000 women who were

117
 exposed to markets through participation at shows, fairs and exhibitions

including Dubai Expo 2020.

291. Furthermore, Construction of the Guruve Women Gold Milling Centre

is almost complete and this will benefit 125 women as owners of this

project.

292. In terms of capacity building, 154,252 women were trained in financial

literacy and other skills such as business, technical, life, leadership and

value addition skills amongst others. This has improved business

operations and viability of projects.

Guruve Gold Milling Plant, 95% complete.

118
293. The focus during 2023 will be on recapitalisation of the Zimbabwe
Women’s Micro Finance Bank and funding of 9 150 women ‘s projects
through disbursement of funding from the Bank, supporting 120 projects
through the Women Development Fund, capacity building of 350 000
female enterprises, promotion of market access for 3 000 women including
participation and registration of women on digital platforms among others.

294. To this end, the budget is setting aside resources amounting to ZWL$3
billion targeting the capitalisation of the Zimbabwe Women Micro Finance
Bank and ZWL$3 billion for SMEDCO.

Youth Empowerment

295. Government is also implementing various initiatives that are aimed at

improving their livelihoods of the youth.

296. In this regard, Government will, in 2023, continue to prioritise the

capacitation of the youth through availing resources ZWL$3 billion for
the Youth Empower Bank and ZWL$900 million for the construction of
various Vocational Training Centres.

PUBLIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

297. Strengthening of the existing institutional frameworks is key in order to

ensures sustainable infrastructure delivery that is affordable and provide
value for money.

119
298. The above thrust is necessitated by recent project delivery inefficiencies
which include cost and time overruns emanating due to poor early project
development processes coupled with institutional weaknesses.

299. There is, therefore, need to upscale requisite public investment management

capacities in the entire project cycle which covers the following:

• Project concept note;

• Pre-feasibility study;

• Feasibility study;

• Implementation, Monitoring, Reporting and Accountability; and

• Asset Registry, Management, and Evaluation

300. Emphasis by MDAs should also be directed towards procurement and

contract management processes that provide value for money on public

resources.

301. The 2023 Development Budget will continue to reinforce project

implementation strategies, meant to improve project delivery and service
outcomes to citizens including the following, among others:

• Utilisation of available technical skills within other Government

departments with the expectation to even tap into those beyond

resident in Government towards infrastructure delivery;

• Central procurement through direct purchase from manufacturers on

commonly used materials to enable economies of scale to be realised;

120
 • Strengthening of Monitoring and Evaluation systems within MDAs for

the purpose of ensuring that beneficiaries derive immediate benefits

from the interventions;

• Accelerate the already adopted Quick Win Targeted Approach in the

implementation of projects and programmes in those sectors that

have not adopted it with the intention of allowing limited funding be

directed to key interventions to derive maximum impact.

• Use of Inter-Ministerial Committees to project planning and execution

in order to enable quick decision making.

• Mandatory for all Implementing Agencies to submit detailed quarterly

progress reports covering both financial and physical performance in

order to guide the next disbursement of funding.

302. This, therefore, calls for MDAs to abide with the dictates of the Zimbabwe

Public Investment Management Guidelines in order to improve

infrastructure delivery at large.

303. Going forward, Treasury will be cautious on its decision to fund submitted

projects in accordance with the provisions of these Guidelines.

Project Preparation Development Fund

304. In 2017, Government establishment the Project Preparation Development

Facility targeting the development of bankable projects which should

enable potential investors to make appropriate decisions.

121
305. Ordinarily, the purpose of the Fund is to finance project development

costs which covers the following:

• Pre-feasibility and feasibility studies;

• Environmental and social impact assessments; and

• Detailed project designs.

306. Notwithstanding the existence of this Fund since 2017, resource uptake

and utilisation by Implementing Agencies has remained very minimum

despite the country’s huge infrastructure deficit and the subsequent

funding requirements.

307. In view of the above, the 2023 budget will target capacitation of the fund

& MDAs as well as dissemination of information on the existence and

purpose of the Fund to implementing agencies.
