A Diagnosis of Structural Transformation in Zimbabwe: Trends, Challenges, and opportunities

Abstract

The study provides a detailed diagnosis of Zimbabwe’s economic structural changes from 1991 to 2023. Anchored in national development frameworks including Vision 2030, NDS1, and NDS2, as well as regional initiatives (AU Agenda 2063, AfCFTA) and global benchmarks (UN SDGs 8, 9, & 12), the paper evaluates how productive resources, labor and capital have reallocated across agriculture, industry, and services.
