Zimbabwe's Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science, and Technology Development, Amon Murwira, encouraged Zimbabweans to have faith in their abilities, focus on the future, and collaborate as a team to enhance the country's resources.

Admire Ndurunduru, Secretary of the Public Accountants and Auditors Board, stressed the impact of public sector finances on everyone and called for concrete action to follow the commitments made in the MoU.
Lovemore Gomera, CEO of CGIZ, discussed the organization's partnerships with universities and various institutions. He highlighted the qualifications and programs offered by CGIZ, including chartered governance, public sector accounting, business and accounting studies, forensic accounting, and governance, risk, and compliance.
Nelson Maseko, Executive Director of the Management Training Bureau, mentioned the potential for the partnership between the bureau, API, and CGIZ to expand to other African countries.
API head Evans Mulera praised Zimbabwe's investment in education and the country's reputation for producing high-quality professionals. He described Zimbabwe as a shining light on the African continent.
