The Medium Term Plan (MTP) marks a return to strategic development planning in Zimbabwe. The Plan outlines the pedestal for consolidating the macro- economic stability achieved under the Short-Term Emergency Recovery Programme (STERP), and advances the mandate to support the restoration of economic stability and growth in Zimbabwe espoused in Article III of the Global Political Agreement (GPA). The MTP is a comprehensive economic blueprint, which reflects the collective wisdom and shared goals pursued by the Inclusive Government. It outlines the economic policies, projects and programmes that will guide the nation and set the national priorities for the next five years, 2011-2015. Maintaining macro-economic stability and restoring the economy's capacity to produce goods and services competitively, and empowering our people to fully participate in the economy, will be key to achieving this vision. This home-grown Plan will serve to empower Zimbabweans both economically and socially in order to eradicate poverty and ensure sustainable development.
