HARARE - The office of the Prime Minister is organising a three-day Ministerial Retreat aimed at drawing up an agreed government action plan necessary for the implementation of a Short Term Emergency Recovery Programme (STERP).Gorden Moyo, the Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, will on Thursday present a full programme for the event to be held at the resort town of Victoria Falls.
Moyo said all ministers, their deputies and permanent secretary will attend the retreat.
"The Ministerial Retreat is an initiative from the Prime Minister’s Office. Its main objective is building a team ready to tackle the challenges bedevilling our country. We have a group of people who were in conflict for almost a decade but now have to work together for the resuscitation of the
economy and political reform. It is meant to bring the former foes together and prepare them to take Zimbabwe forward," said Moyo.
He said the Retreat would critically analyse STERP to enable each Ministry in the new government to design its 100-day programme.
"After the retreat we are looking forward to having a transformative and progressive team," he said.
The five clusters the Prime Minister’s Office has established will work together at the Ministerial Retreat to create synergies.
The Ministerial Retreat, which has allegedly received both material and financial support from well-wishers is meant to put to rest wrangling over overlapping of mandates.
All Ministers have been asked to produce Status Reviews of their ministries, clearly stating their human, financial and asset positions. The 100-day programme is expected to commence soon after the Ministerial
Retreat.
