The much feared Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) which falls under Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC) are again exhibiting at the ongoing Zimbabwe International Trade Fair in Bulawayo.
According to Senior principal director in the OPC, Ambassador Mary Mubi, the objective is to 'enhance public acceptance' and increase coordination and coherence by ensuring that all relevant stakeholders are involved at the appropriate stages of industrial development.
"We're excited to be at the ZITF to demonstrate Government's commitment to transform the socio-economic fabric.
"The ZITF gives us an opportunity to provide a strategic overview of the importance of a Whole of Government Approach in industrial development activities, including a foresight function aimed at identifying stakeholders and building anticipatory capacity" she said as quoted by the state controlled Chronicle.
"It also allows us to communicate Government successes and actions towards the achievement of industry related goals under Zim-Asset as well as assess the impact of Government initiatives on industry and citizens," .
She said through the exhibition, the OPC is focusing on the promotion and awareness creation of existing policies, programmes, strategies and activities housed in different ministries and departments that endorse industrial development.
Amb Mubi added that the OPC also expected to enhance public acceptance of strategically planned and executed marketing and public relations activities for industrial development and poverty eradication.
"We're also looking forward to receiving contributions from the public for active Zim-Asset linkages, synergies and relationships for economic growth and social transformation.
"There's also active promotion of conditions for sustainable industrialisation such as research and development, infrastructure and utilities, energy supply, transport, ICT, employment and labour legislation, ease of doing business, small and medium enterprise support, industrialisation and rural development, capacity building, indigenisation and empowerment, gender in industrial development, value chains, finance, education and skills and raw materials."
