The United Nations Development Program has pledged to work with Zimbabwe's Ministry of Economic Planning and Investment Promotion in attaining the country's economic recovery, according to The Herald on Wednesday.

UNDP's intentions in Zimbabwe at the moment are to boost the crafting of macro-economic policies that reinforce with the recently launched Short Term Economic Program, the daily newspaper said.

Speaking at a recent ceremony where the organization handed over computers to the Ministry of Economic Planning and Investment Promotion, UNDP said they would do their best in assisting the country to attain economic independence.

"We are here to help the nation in capacity building and we will do whatever it takes to assist the country," said Dr Agostinho Zacarias, the United Nations country representative.

Currently UNDP is implementing international training courses that will assist Zimbabwe in coming up with strategies that will help the economic recovery of the country.

"The responsibility of the ministry is to plan the economic recovery of the country whilst at the same time providing leadership within the economic clusters of the government hence the training courses will go a long way in making the job easier for the ministry," said Zacarias.

Zacarias also noted that the participation of stakeholders was vital in nation building and this was encouraged through the development of a website, which would facilitate communication between prospective investors in and out of the country.
