About Invest Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe’s potential.
Our shared purpose.
We believe Zimbabwe's resources, talent and enterprise deserve a clearer path to productive opportunity.
Invest Zimbabwe is an initiative of the Youth Empowerment Hub. It brings together a belief in our country's potential and a practical purpose: connecting what we have with the people, knowledge and partnerships that can help us build.
Our story
A Zimbabwean initiative
Our development story
is ours to help build.
The Invest Zimbabwe vision was developed by Dr Artwell A. Murambasvina, Founder and National Executive Chairperson of the Youth Empowerment Hub. At its heart is a conviction that Zimbabweans should help shape, tell and build their own development story.
That includes the farmer, the entrepreneur, the professional, the innovator and the young person with the ability to contribute. Investment has a role alongside skills, knowledge, technology and local initiative.
The national platform connects ten provincial expressions of the same vision. Each starts with the people, resources and enterprises in its own place, while sharing a purpose: to develop productive capacity, strengthen local participation and connect with markets in Zimbabwe, across Africa and beyond.
Our purpose
Potential becomes meaningful
when people can act on it.
Our ambition is productive enterprise: businesses that add value, create work, connect local suppliers and reach customers.
Build around local enterprise
Look at the businesses around a project as well as the project itself: producers, processors, contractors, transporters and service providers.
Connect talent with purpose
Create pathways for young people, professionals and entrepreneurs to contribute knowledge, skills and initiative to productive work.
Document the journey
Recognise the people behind development and build a responsible record of ideas, enterprise and progress.
The ideas behind the initiative
A vision to build.
A story to preserve.
Two books express the purpose behind Invest Zimbabwe: connect what the country has with what its people can build, and preserve the development story as it unfolds.

Invest Zimbabwe · Promoting local talent, enterprise and legacy
From vision to participation
Young people belong
in the work of today.
Youth empowerment is central to this initiative. The vision connects education and talent with practical participation: creating enterprises, sharing expertise, developing useful skills and contributing to the communities in which projects take shape.
At provincial level, author Patriot Murima Wilfred carries this focus through his work with the Youth Empowerment Hub and the Invest Masvingo Movement, identifying and documenting the province's development story and opportunities.
Integrity, partnership, inclusivity and accountability guide the work. We want the evidence behind a proposition, the responsibilities of each participant and the next step to be understandable.
