PREFACE

The Medium Term Plan (MTP) marks a return to strategic development planning
in Zimbabwe. The Plan outlines the pedestal for consolidating the macroeconomic
stability achieved under the Short-Term Emergency Recovery
Programme (STERP), and advances the mandate to support the restoration
of economic stability and growth in Zimbabwe espoused in Article III of the
Global Political Agreement (GPA).

The MTP is a comprehensive economic blueprint, which reflects the collective
wisdom and shared goals pursued by the Inclusive Government. It outlines
the economic policies, projects and programmes that will guide the nation
and set the national priorities for the next five years, 2011-2015.

Maintaining macro-economic stability and restoring the economy's capacity
to produce goods and services competitively, and empowering our people to
fully participate in the economy, will be key to achieving this vision. This
home-grown Plan will serve to empower Zimbabweans both economically
and socially in order to eradicate poverty and ensure sustainable development.
It is my hope that our people will mobilise their energies to fully exploit our
abundant resources in developing a robust Zimbabwean economy that meets
the targets set in the MTP.

I commend the Medium Term Plan to the people of Zimbabwe and urge all
members of the Inclusive Government, the Private Sector, Civil Society, and
the International Community to fully support its implementation.

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE
July, 2011
