An investigation into Public Works Programmes as a Poverty Reduction Strategy for Rural Zimbabwe: A study on Gutu District

Abstract

With the progression of the new millennium, a new socio-economic order has taken charge in most developing countries, unfavourable to the wellbeing of the less economically advantaged populations. Seemingly, Zimbabwe is not an exception to this development. Increasing concerns have been expressed about the effects of the several interventions aimed at poverty reduction in Zimbabwe, both from within and outside the country.
