Government touts e-commerce for SMEs

18

IN A move to bolster national economic growth, the Zimbabwean government has advocated for integrating local micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) into the United Nations’ e-commerce and digital economy initiative.

This strategy is expected to significantly enhance the productivity of these businesses, which are pivotal to the country’s informal sector—a sector that accounts for over 60 percent of Zimbabwe’s GDP.
