President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s policies under the new
dispensation have created a lot of employment and empowerment opportunities for
women which have improved their livelihoods.
It’s no longer business as usual said Women’s Affairs,
Gender and Community Development Permanent Secretary, Mrs Sibusisiwe Zembe as
employment and empowerment opportunities brought about by the new dispensation
have resulted in more work for their officers who now have more projects to
monitor.
“The new dispensation has brought a lot of opportunities
for women as a result our officers are now always busy on the ground monitoring
the projects,” she said.
As part of ensuring the officers are mobile, the ministry
handed over motor bikes to them at Jamaica National Training Centre for Rural
Women in Goromonzi.
“These motorbikes we have disbursed today (Tuesday) are
meant to improve our officers’ mobility as they monitor the projects in
communities,” Mrs Zembe said.
As part of empowering rural women, the ministry is also
conducting a garment making training course for women from Matabeleland North
Province.
The women thanked the ministry for giving them the
opportunity to train resulting in them being empowered.
“I would like to thank the ministry for having initiated
this training programme which has given me the opportunity to train in garment
making,” said some of the beneficiaries.
The ministry has also funded a number of projects
countrywide which include eight community gardens, eight mining projects and
registered 50 savings and credit cooperatives.zbc
