Infrastructure
Even though Zimbabwe has a relatively good density in terms of infrastructure, the Government is actively pursuing the rehabilitation and/or expansion of all infrastructure in preparation of the coming economic growth. In line with section 370 of the STERP document(see text on attached DVD) which states that, ?The framework for recapitalization of such entities as the Cold Storage Company ("CSC"), Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority ("ZESA"), Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe ("CAAZ"), Zimbabwe National Water Authority ("ZINWA"), National Railways of Zimbabwe ("NRZ"), Tel One, Net One is being developed. This will also encompass companies in which the government has significant shareholding such as Hwange Colliery Limited, SMM Holdings (Private) Limited and the Zimbabwe Iron and Steel Company (Private) Limited ("ZISCO"). The commercialization and privatization of some of the government entities offers significant investment opportunities.

There are massive opportunities within the sector including dam and road construction, provision of urban housing on the back of at least 500 to a million hectares of fresh urban land provided by the state, power generation, and telecommunication infrastructure among other opportunities.

The Inclusive Government has a vision of providing well functioning efficient, available, affordable, improved infrastructure and services to support the economy.
