SPECIAL Presidential Investment Advisor, Dr Paul Tungwarara, has called for a united front to transform the country’s economy.
He made the remarks yesterday at the National Multi-Faith Economic Dialogue at the Zanu PF Headquarters in Harare, where leaders from various faiths gathered to discuss collaborative efforts in fostering sustainable development.
The relationship between the Second Republic and religious institutions has been pivotal, as the Government views faith communities as essential partners in national development.
This partnership has grown stronger, particularly under the Second Republic led by President Mnangagwa, who has consistently emphasised the importance of engaging with all sectors of society, including religious organisations.
Dr Tungwarara highlighted this collaboration, urging attendees to deepen their economic understanding through shared knowledge and joint problem-solving.
He recognised the vital role that religious institutions can play in transforming the nation’s economy.
“Let us use this dialogue to deepen our economic understanding. Let us share knowledge, identify challenges, and craft solutions together,” he said, at an event graced by many Zanu PF officials including the National Political Commissar Cde Munyaradzi Machacha.
His call for action resonated with leaders from diverse religious backgrounds, who acknowledged the significance of their collective influence in promoting sustainable development.
Dr Tungwarara stressed that faith communities should serve as engines for economic progress.
“The path to Vision 2030 requires all hands-on deck.
“Let the churches ring with the sound of industry; let the mosques echo with plans for enterprise; let every place of worship be a centre of progress,” he said.
Dr Tungwarara introduced the Multi-Faith Financial Corporation as an essential tool for economic advancement, encouraging participants to embrace and use it to build a more prosperous future.
The initiative is part of a broader strategy to integrate faith-based perspectives into economic planning and execution.
“Let us walk together, in faith and action, towards the prosperous Zimbabwe we are destined to become under the unwavering leadership of His Excellency, President Mnangagwa,” he said.
The dialogue has been hailed as a significant step in fostering unity among various faiths while addressing critical economic issues.
As the Second Republic continues to seek collaborative solutions, the role of religious institutions remains crucial in shaping a sustainable and inclusive economic landscape for all Zimbabweans.
