The establishment of ZIMCODD’s third Debt Justice Hub in Harare created an important platform for citizens to deepen their understanding of public finance, debt accountability and budget processes under the Strengthening Transparency and Accountability in Sovereign Debt Management project.

Facilitated by ZIMCODD’s Programmes Manager, Mucha Midzi , the session on Public Finance Management (PFM) & Budget Fundamentals unpacked how Zimbabwe’s national budget works, where government revenue comes from, where public money goes, and how the growing debt crisis continues to affect service delivery and citizens’ livelihoods.

Participants explored the realities of a tax system where ordinary citizens carry much of the burden through VAT and PAYE, while concerns around mining revenue transparency, public borrowing and expenditure accountability continue to grow. The discussion also highlighted how debt servicing increasingly competes with funding for health, education and social protection.

Constitutional provisions on transparency, accountability and responsible public finance management were also discussed, reinforcing the importance of citizen participation in tracking public resources and demanding accountability.

Through the #DebtJusticeNow campaign, communities are being equipped to follow the money, question public expenditure and demand transparent, inclusive and people-centred economic governance.

Plumber, socialist, anti-racist, champion of working class communities… watch Hannah Spencer’s victory speech here. “We are sick of our hard work making other people rich”. Massive blow to Starmer’s genocidal “Labour” party.

Samsung was founded in 1938 as an exporter of fruit, vegetables and fish.

Today, it’s worth $1 trillion.

Zimbabwe’s public debt is now at US$23.4 billion. That’s a lot for a country already feeling the heat. Youth are asking, “so what does this mean for us?”

The call for debt justice is a fight for an accountable, transparent state. "NO loan without public scrutiny". Parliament of Zim encouraged to align the Public Debt Management Act for debt management that does not overtake public services funding. #ZimDebtConference2025

My takeaway from the 7th Zimbabwe Annual Debt Conference is the significance of strengthening domestic resource mobilization to finance development aspirations.

Billions flow from mines and extraction of natural resources, but communities stay poor. No clinics, schools and proper roads. Just broken land.This isn't development. It's exploitation. @CNRG_ZIM

Climate change is fueling forced migration.
In mining zones, families are displaced, ecosystems destroyed, and hope eroded. We need sustainable practices, not sacrifice zones. @ZELA_Infor @OpenSociety @MinorityRights

Unsustainable mining = stolen futures.
Communities lose #land, #water & #Health while corporations profit.
Climate justice means putting people before profit.

Unplanned evictions of communal land disrupt local livelihoods & harm development. Transparent & inclusive processes are vital for sustainable farming & rural progress. @MACRADTrust collaborates with farmers&village leaders to raise awareness & chart equitable land-use pathways.
