LRF attended the launch of the Committee of the Future at the Parliamentof Zimbabwe. The Committee is a newly launched standing, cross-sectoral parliamentary committee within the Parliament of Zimbabwe. Speaker of Parliament Advocate Jacob Mudenda officially launched the committee, whose core mandate is designed to embed strategic foresight, innovation, and long-term planning into parliamentary and legislative processes over a 10-to-30-year horizon. It transitions governance from reactive decision-making to proactive planning. The concept was initially proposed by Speaker of Parliament to prepare the legislative, executive, and judicial arms of government for emerging global disruptions specifically the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Artificial Intelligence (AI), climate/environmental transitions, and shifting socio-economic models. The Committee of the Future is modelled after similar specialised parliamentary committees globally, such as Finland's Committee for the Future and institutional structures in Uruguay and the UAE.

Congratulations to the Parliamentof Zimbabwe for launching the Committee of the Future.

LRF trained Women Owned Business Support Trust on the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act. The Women Owned Business Trust (WOBT) is a membership based organization dedicated to empowering and accelerating the growth of Zimbabwean women-owned enterprises by strengthening their access to sustainable markets through public and private procurement opportunities.

In attendance were women from various sectors of business including micro enterprises, small and medium scale enterprises and NMSME level. The aim of the training was to increase awareness of the key provisions of the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act, improve knowledge levels on suppliers rights and obligations in the Act, educating women suppliers on procurement complaints and reviewing mechanisms and the promotion of transparency, accountability and business integrity. The training contributed to increased access to government procurement opportunities for women-owned business, improved compliance with procurement legislation, strengthened business integrity and enhanced economic empowerment of women through inclusive public procurement. LRF’s recommendations included capacity building of women entrepreneurs on leadership, entrepreneurship, business ethics, mentorship, standards, quality, Public Procurement Act and procurement procedures, creation of women-focused business and procurement associations.

There is need for awareness programmes on gender responsive procurement for both women entrepreneurs and procurement officers. PRAZ was urged to introduce waivers on some provisions of the procurement regulations to allow for aggregation of supplies for women-owned businesses.
