Notice Information

Notice Title

DFID 7754 Zimbabwe Grain Market Facilitation Programme Fund Manager

Notice Description

The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has put in place controls on foreign exchange payments. Grain imports are in the highest priority category. However current liquidity challenges, lower than normal regional supply of grain, and reduction in purchasing power due to drought and economic downturn, are affecting Zimbabwe's normally dynamic private sector. A 'Grain Market Facilitation Programme' has been designed to address foreign exchange liquidity issues affecting grain imports and enable the private sector to respond to the demand for grain for the domestic market in Zimbabwe.
