Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It is my pleasure to give you this press briefing on the 2023 budget that has just been presented to
and adopted by council today.
The key highlights are;
1. The budget was prepared after extensive consultations with stakeholders through ward-based meetings and meetings with women, youths and differently abled members of our community. Meetings were also held with the residents’ associations and business community. The budget was also advertised in the print media to ensure that no one would be left behind in contributing to the development of the city.
2. The budget theme “Re-tooling for improved service delivery” directs us to focus on the adequacy and functionality of service delivery infrastructure and equipment as we gear ourselves to contribute to the national vision of attaining an upper middle-income society by 2030.
3. The budget has been prepared in United States Dollars, consistent with the presentation by the Minister of Finance and Economic Development on the expected subsistence of the multi-currency system until 2025. However, charges to residents and clients will be made at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of payment.
4. The total budget is USD23.6 million of which USD17 million is expected to be generated internally while USD6 million is expected to be funded from other sources such as Intergovernmental fiscal transfers, Zinara grants and external
loans.
5. The capital budget is USD8.5 million while the recurrent budget is USD15.1 million.
6. Expenditure allocations by program are as follows;
Governance and Administration US$5.5 million

As City of Masvingo we take part with the rest of the World in commemorating the 16 days of activism against Gender Based Violence. The commemorations begin on the 25th of November and ends on the 10th of December. The theme for the year 2022 is, “All lives matter: End Gender Based Violence now.” During the same period, we celebrate the World Aids Day on the 1st of December with the global theme, “Putting Ourselves to the Test: Achieving Equity to End HIV.” The Ministry of Health and Child Care also participates under the mantra, “Ending HIV/AIDS by 2030.” As we come to the end on the 10th of December we commemorate the Human rights day with the theme, “Dignity, Freedom and Justice for all.” As City of Masvingo we say zero tolerance to GBV. ALL LIVES MATTER
