The portal provides with investors with clear, step-by-step guidance on how to start and formalize a business in Zimbabwe, covering everything from licenses and permits to tax registration and social security.<\/p>\n
It was carried out with UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), through the joint digital government programme<\/a>, as well as support from the European Union.<\/p>\n For the landlocked African country, the portal is a foundational step to making itself a more competitive and investor-friendly destination.<\/p>\n Developed by the\u00a0Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency (ZIDA)\u00a0in collaboration with 21 government departments, the portal integrates 62 procedures into a single, user-friendly interface.<\/p>\n It eliminates the need for multiple visits to government offices and offers a reliable information source on required documents and processes.<\/p>\n This marks the first time Zimbabwe has mapped the entire formalities for investors, allowing the government to identify and remove redundant steps. The result? A more transparent and efficient system that benefits both investors and public officials.<\/p>\n The portal\u2019s launch is part of Zimbabwe\u2019s broader digital transformation agenda. The next phase will focus on creating a\u00a0transactional single-window system\u00a0for investment and business procedures, further enhancing ease of doing business.<\/p>\n \u201cThe portal is designed to improve the transparency, accessibility and efficiency of investment-related administrative procedures in Zimbabwe,\u201d says ZIDA CEO Mr.\u00a0Tafadzwa Chinamo stated,<\/p>\n \u201cIt represents a significant step towards enhancing the ease of doing business and positioning our country as a competitive investment destination.\u201d<\/p>\n More coming up at UNCTAD16<\/p>\n More efforts in this area will be discussed during a session titled\u00a0\u201cInvestment facilitation: Progress, prospects and policy options<\/a>\u201d\u00a0at the 16th session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD16<\/a>) set for 20 to 23 October in Geneva.<\/p>\n The session will examine how countries are adopting measures to enhance transparency, streamline investment procedures and leverage digital tools \u2013 such as single windows \u2013 to lower transaction costs and build more predictable, efficient and accountable investment environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"23 September 2025 The African nation takes a major step to simplifying investment procedures with the launch of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[106],"class_list":{"0":"post-11793","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-zimbabwe","8":"tag-zimbabwe"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/africa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
