Group seeks to unlock opportunities

Local empowerment pressure group Action for Empowerment Zimbabwe (AEZ) has embarked on nationwide community engagements aimed at unravelling empowerment opportunities and programmes available for locals.

AEZ president Alson Darikayi said the interfaces also allowed communities to meet AEZ leadership in districts and wards, as well as conduct a community needs assessment to identify gaps and opportunities regarding empowerment issues.

The group was also rolling out initiatives in community groups, religious organisations and traditional groupings, backed by private sector partnerships, aimed at increasing access to socio-economic services for marginalised communities.

“Together with a large number of corporate partners we are providing critical access to services such as funeral, medical and legal. We are also ensuring access to resources for entrepreneurial programmes in sectors such as agriculture, mining, manufacturing and processing,” said Darikayi.
