An analysis of whether the NDS1 and 2 as economic blueprints will be able to make Zimbabwe achieve vision 2030 as envisaged by the Second Republic.
Abstract
This dissertation examines how effective the National Development Strategy 1 (NDS1) and National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2) are tools for helping Zimbabwe reach its Vision 2030 goals, as set out by the Second Republic. It starts with a look back at Zimbabwe's economic history and how past policies connect to the vision of a prosperous and inclusive economy. Using qualitative method, the research assesses the strategies in NDS1 and 2, focusing on how well they address the current economic challenges faced by the country. Key indicators are identified to track progress in areas like economic growth, infrastructure improvement and social equity. The analysis highlights both the strengths and weaknesses of these strategies in tackling issues such as inflation, unemployment and governance. Based on these findings, the dissertation offers recommendations for policy adjustments and greater stakeholder involvement to improve the effectiveness of these economic plans. Ultimately, this work aims to contribute to the conversation about sustainable development in Zimbabwe, providing valuable insights into how the country can achieve its Vision 2030.
