ZIMCODD Engages at High-Level NDS2 Roadmap Meeting, Advocates for Economic Justice Priorities

🟠 On 18 June, ZIMCODD participated in the National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2) Roadmap Meeting, hosted by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development and the Office of the President and Cabinet. This critical forum outlined Zimbabwe’s national priorities and launched the Thematic Working Groups.

We leveraged this platform to champion key pillars of our social and economic justice mandate:

✅ Strengthening Domestic Resource Mobilization (DRM)
✅ Enhancing Debt Sustainability & Transparency
✅ External Debt Re-engagement & Arrears Clearance
✅ Localizing Climate Governance & Resource Allocation

As NDS2 implementation accelerates, ZIMCODD remains committed to collaborative, equitable policymaking. We commend the inclusive approach and urge sustained dialogue to embed accountability and justice in Zimbabwe’s development agenda.
