Part One
In this episode of What If, Eddah Jowah joins Tendai Murisa and Nontsikelelo Nzula as they discuss the policy-making framework and its implications on Zimbabwe’s economy and monetary policy. The main conclusion from this episode is that citizens’ trust has been lost and needs to be restored before a progressive national vision can be collectively adopted.
Part 2
Orthodox economics encourages the development of infrastructure and big projects in a nation to promote growth. The Zimbabwean government has done some work to promote big projects for new initiatives. But how does this service the interests of ordinary citizens? Where should development meet with the needs of young energetic Zimbabweans, eager to get involved in the development agenda? What if we consider an alternative way of development, by building from within and betting on ourselves instead of outside investment? Tendai Murisa and Nontsikelelo Nzula discuss this in Part 2 of ‘What if there is an alternative?’
