ZIMBABWE will this year host an investment conference on irrigation financing as part of measures to attract funding for the construction and rehabilitation of dams and boreholes countrywide.
Addressing Tuesday’s post-Cabinet briefing, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Jenfan Muswere said: “The nation is informed that an investment conference on irrigation financing will be hosted this year to attract both internal and external investors to provide the necessary impetus to accelerate irrigation rehabilitation and development, and village business unit programmes to ensure food security.”
It is envisaged that the conference will enable the country to exploit the 10 600 dams found across the country.
