The World Bank has helped to fight poverty and improve living standards for the people of Zimbabwe.  As of September 2007, the Bank had approved 19 IBRD loans and 14 IDA credits for a total of approximately US$1.6 billion.

The lending program in Zimbabwe is inactive due to arrears. The Bank’s role here is now limited to technical assistance and analytical work focusing on macroeconomic policy, food security issues, social sector expenditures, social service delivery mechanisms and HIV/AIDS.  For more information on how the World Bank has supported Zimbabwe, refer to All Projects.
