On Friday, March 7th, Eddah Jowah, the Programs Manager at SIVIO Institute, had the opportunity to join Nonhlanhla on the CITE Twitter Space for an engaging discussion centered around the findings of the 2024 Citizens’ Perceptions and Expectations (CPE) Report. This report serves as a critical resource for understanding public sentiment and expectations, providing valuable insights into the thoughts, aspirations, and priorities of citizens across Zimbabwe.
During the session, several key insights were highlighted, notably that corruption, rather than resource scarcity, is identified as the primary obstacle impeding the effectiveness of officeholders at all levels of government. Moreover, citizens consistently express the belief that the central government should prioritize essential areas such as employment, healthcare delivery, price stabilization, and industrial revitalization—issues that have remained vital over the years. The insights shared during this Twitter Live session underscore the importance of aligning government actions with the expectations of the populace to foster trust and collaboration between citizens and their leaders.
