- Zimbabwe secure US$800 million in funding
- Zimbabwean will have electricity regardless of their location
Zimbabwean President, Emmerson Mnangagwa, revealed that President Paul Kagame has helped Zimbabwe secure US$800 million in funding for its rural electrification programme.
Mnangagwa said Kagame would attend the unveiling of the rural electrification programme at the end of this month. The programme aims to transform the rural population’s livelihoods in the Southern African country.
Mnangagwa revealed that the programme feeds into his government’s rural development plan, which encompasses creating smart homes equipped with clean energy, potable water and nutrition gardens.
Mnangagwa said very soon; every Zimbabwean will have electricity regardless of where they are. Further, he commended Rwanda’s government for their assistance and efforts in Rwanda’s social and economic development.
