A DASHBOARD developed to monitor all Government projects under the Social Services Cluster initiated by Vice President Kembo Mohadi is now fully operational, with each ministry yesterday submitting three top-priority projects.
The system is live, allowing the Vice President to monitor activities in real time, whether he is local, abroad and/ or travelling.
VP Mohadi can immediately see when a task has been completed, such as a delivery made that day.
This setup removes the confusion that often comes with searching through spreadsheets, emails, or questionable documents.
Instead of relying on excuses like not seeing an email, users can log directly into the system to access up-to-date information.
VP Mohadi can now track progress at the click of a button, with 87 priority projects already uploaded and under assessment.
The dashboard, named Chiringa, was developed by Bindura University of Science Education.
It serves as an information management tool that monitors, analyses, and visually displays key indicators, metrics, and critical data to support informed decision-making.
Speaking at a Social Services Cluster meeting in Harare yesterday, Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Dr Martin Rushwaya said the cluster is a cornerstone of national development.
Dr Rushwaya said high-impact priority projects received from ministries will be explored and supervised by the Vice President during the year.
“This tool will strengthen and yet simplify the Vice President’s supervisory role to monitor improvements in our sector in real time.
“I do not doubt that the priority projects that are being presented in line with our mandates are in our 2025 strategic plan statement,” he said.
Dr Rushwaya said cluster activities should be aligned with national priorities.
“Through youth empowerment, sports, culture, ICT, gender, healthcare, skills training, education, housing, and social and welfare programmes, we are investing in the future of our country and accelerating towards 2030.
“It’s impact is most evident in our efforts to uplift the youth and women of Zimbabwe, who form the backbone of our democratic community,” he said.
Dr Rushwaya said the Vice President, in his capacity as the principal in charge of the Social Services Cluster, enunciated that his role is that of an advisor.
Permanent Secretary in VP Mohadi’s office, Dr Benson Martins Dube, facilitated the meeting, which was also attended by Deputy Chief Secretary for Social Services in the Office of the President and Cabinet, Reverend Paul Damasane.
While presenting the Chiringa application, Bindura University of Science and Technology (BUSE) Vice Chancellor Professor Eddy Mwenje said it was good to celebrate the shift and partnership that made it possible.
