Although it was on the path to middle income status in the 1980s and much of the 1990s, Zimbabwe has since suffered from protracted fragility induced by recurrent cycles of political and economic crises. However, during the past four years, relative political stability, the adoption of a multi-currency regime and economic reforms has generated vigorous economic growth. Nonetheless, the decade of economic decline which preceded the growth has severely compromised basic service delivery, public sector capacity, infrastructure maintenance and the investment climate for the private sector. Despite the current difficulties, Zimbabwe has enormous potential for sustained growth and poverty reduction given its generous endowment of natural resources and a reservoir of highly skilled human resources base. Realizing this potential will require conducive political and economic environment. The ISN identifies three priority areas for World Bank Group (WBG) support in terms of fostering an enabling environment for: private sector development and job creation; strengthening core systems for public sector management and service delivery; and reducing vulnerabilities, improving resilience, and strengthening human development.  Réduire
