Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution for Harare Metropolitan Province, Charles Tavengwa, has officially launched the 2024/25 Provincial Presidential Agricultural Input (Pfumvudza/Intwasa) Scheme at Domboramwari High School in Epworth.
Running under the theme “Food Security, everywhere, every time,” the scheme aims to ensure food security for families across Zimbabwe, including those in urban areas.
Speaking during the official launch, Minister Tavengwa said the scheme was set to be replicated in other areas within Harare, aligning with the Government’s efforts to promote food security nationwide.
“This initiative is part of our broader agenda to drive inclusive development, creating wealth and economic opportunities for all Zimbabweans by not leaving no one and no place behind,” he said.
“Emerging from the worst drought in forty- three (43) years, we are optimistic about the upcoming rainfall season.
“The lesson from last year’s El Niño-induced drought has underscored the importance of climate-proofing measures at both household and national levels. By accelerating irrigation development and expanding the Pfumvudza/Intwasa programme.”
