A compendium of 182 projects from all Ministries except three will see life in the first 100-day cycle of 2024 following approval by Cabinet, a government minister has said.

 

This was said by Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Dr Jenfan Muswere at a post-Cabinet media briefing in Harare yesterday.

 

The cycle runs from 5th February 2024 to 15th May 2024. The Cycle covers one hundred and eighty-two (182) projects and involves projects from all Ministries except Defence; Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Affairs; and Environment, Climate, and Wildlife.

 

Dr Muswere said, “Cabinet considered and approved the compendium for the First 100-Day Cycle Projects for 2024, presented by the Minister of State for Presidential Affairs in the Office of the President and Cabinet, Honourable Lovemore Matuke.”

 

He added that the projects were selected according to their potential contribution to the aspirations of Vision 2030 focusing primarily, in particular, the improvements of the livelihoods of citizens in all communities.

 

He further said, “The projects are distributed according to the fourteen (14) Thematic Areas of the National Development Strategy which is now in its second segment which ends in 2025. Due to the critical role played by infrastructure in accelerating socio-economic development and growth, the highest number of projects comes under the Infrastructure and Utilities Pillar of the National Development Strategy 1, with forty-one (41) projects.

 

The projects include areas such as the construction and rehabilitation of roads, classrooms, and clinics as the Second Republic delivers equitable and quality services that transform livelihoods across the country. Some of the projects are replicated in more than one province.

 

Dr. Muswere said that to strengthen internal monitoring by the respective Ministries, a regular tracking schedule will be used while progress as at Day 50 will be publicized as per practice. Site visits to selected projects will also be conducted to validate the progress across the country.
