In the statement released on Monday, the EU country office in Harare said the visit would be the first by the committee in over 10 years.
The three-member team is being led by Norbert Neuser, the German MEP of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats group and also comprises Filip Kaczmarek, the Polish MEP of the European People's Party group and Judith Sargentini, the Dutch MEP of the Greens/European Free Alliance group.
“During the visit, the delegation will be updated on existing EU development assistance programmes, the development needs of the country and the priorities of the Government of Zimbabwe.
“The members of the delegation have a particular interest in food security, health, agriculture and sustainable energy. The visit is important in view of the programming and preparation for future EU cooperation with Zimbabwe in the framework of the 11th European Development Fund (2014-2020),” says the EU statement.
The visiting delegation is expected to meet representatives of key ministries such as Finance, Education, Agriculture, Energy and Small and Medium Enterprises and Cooperative Development.
In addition, it will meet the Speaker of Parliament, Lovemore Moyo and the President of the Senate, Edna Madzongwe.
It will also visit ongoing development assistance programs.
