International Co-operation and Development Commissioner Neven Mimica (pictured), is visiting Zimbabwe, where he is meeting President Emmerson Mnangagwa, as well as visiting EU-funded projects. New EU-funded programmes worth €23 million will be launched to improve people's access to health services and enhance their livelihoods.

This visit takes place ahead of the elections in Zimbabwe due to be held by mid-2018. On the occasion, Commissioner Mimica said: "I am here to show to the Zimbabwean people and authorities that the EU stands ready to accelerate its support to their transition towards democracy and prosperity. I am also happy to launch new EU support programmes for a total amount of €23 million in the area of health and job creation. As Zimbabwe opens a new chapter in its history, we are putting our trust in the authorities to seize this unique opportunity and address the political and economic challenges in the country."

A press release and MEMO are available online.
