Cabinet Approves New Anti-Corruption Strategy For Zimbabwe: What Changes From 2026 To 2030

Zimbabwe’s Cabinet has approved a new five-year anti-corruption strategy that will put greater emphasis on preventing corruption, strengthening investigations and prosecuting offenders. The National Anti-Corruption Strategy 2 (2026–2030) also seeks to improve accountability in Government institutions and recover assets linked to corruption.

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Zhemu Soda announced the decision during the post-Cabinet briefing on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

Zimbabwe’s New Anti-Corruption Strategy Has Six Key Pillars

The strategy is built around six pillars covering legal reforms, stronger institutions, effective enforcement, public engagement, targeted interventions in high-risk sectors and digitalisation.

Dr Soda explained that the new approach would place prevention alongside investigations and prosecutions.

“The strategy prioritises prevention alongside investigation and prosecution,” Dr Soda said.

The plan is intended to strengthen the systems that prevent corruption while improving how authorities respond when cases arise.

Government Ministries To Be Held Accountable For Implementation

Government ministries and agencies will be expected to incorporate the strategy’s measures into their budgets and operational work plans.

Progress will be assessed against measurable results. The strategy also aims to encourage greater public participation, improve transparency in digital services and make public institutions more accountable.

The National Anti-Corruption Strategy 2 will run from 2026 to 2030, providing a framework for Government’s efforts to tackle corruption over the next five years.

Its success will depend on how effectively the responsible institutions implement the proposed measures and demonstrate progress.
