Zimcodd criticizes low utilization by Zimbabwe's Public Service, Labour, & Social Welfare ministry, amid rising public debt.

Zimbabwe's Coalition on Debt and Development (Zimcodd) has criticised the Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare ministry for using only 6.8% of its allocated resources, despite being responsible for social protection services. This low utilization rate is concerning given Zimbabwe's social and economic challenges. Additionally, the country's total public and publicly guaranteed debt stock rose by 19.8% to $21.2bn at end-2023, representing 96.7% of 2023 national output.
