The Parliament of Zimbabwe has signed memoranda of understanding (MOUs) on technical and capacity building assistance with three private sector organisations.

Transparency International Zimbabwe, the Public Affairs and Parliamentary Support Trust (PAPST) and the Association of European Parliamentarians with Africa (AWEPA) have pledged to work with the Parliament of Zimbabwe towards the provision of technical and capital expertise.

The chief executive officer of PAPST Mr Mike Mataruse says the MOUs are aimed at ensuring that local parliamentarians are fully equipped with resources.

"We hope for the better in the near future as we seek to do our best," said Mr Mataruse.

The Speaker of Parliament Advocate Jacob Mudenda says Zimbabwe welcomes developmental partners on capacity building projects.

"We are fully geared to the growth of the local parliament in terms of development," Advocate Mudenda said.

The MOUs are also aimed at developing strategic alliances between the cooperating partners and the Parliament of Zimbabwe on the financing of workshops and socio-economic meetings.
