MINISTRY OF NATIONAL HOUSING AND SOCIAL AMENITIES

A house is more than a roof; it is a business, a store of value, and a collateral asset that can secure a generation's future, Prof. Mavima said in his address. "Housing development and financial literacy cannot be treated as separate conversations," he said.

Financial Literacy is not optional; it is economic infrastructure. In Zimbabwe, housing has become one of the most powerful entry points to financial independence, asset ownership, and long-term wealth creation.

It was a privilege for the Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities, Prof. Paul Mavima, to speak to young people at the Ariel Financial Literacy and Business Summit Africa in the capital yesterday, where a powerful truth was reaffirmed:

Zimbabwe is participating in the Building Climate Resilience of the Urban Poor (BCRUP) initiative alongside 19 other African nations. The programme focuses on strengthening vulnerable urban settlements with support from the Green Climate Fund and other partners.

Hands-on leadership Hon. Musa Ncube, Deputy Minister of National Housing and Social Amenities and MP for Tsholotsho South, joined the community at Nata Clinic to mix concrete and support ongoing construction works.

Addressing the housing backlog is a key pillar of the Zimbabwe National Human Settlements Policy, shaping sustainable and inclusive communities.
