dc.description.abstractThe study's main aim was to investigate the role played by agricultural cooperatives in employment-creation and poverty-reduction in Mangwe and Bulilima Districts in Zimbabwe. Literature supports the need for the establishment and growth of these agricultural cooperatives to ensure sustainable development. Thus, the study used the qualitative research methodology as its methodological approach. Data was collected using interviews which were carried out with cooperative members, communities, Government Departments and NGOs. Questionnaires were also used, and the study used the case study research design. Some of the findings from the study indicated that there has been little intervention on the part of Government, NGOs, Private and Public Sectors with regards to financial support and development of agricultural cooperatives in Mangwe and Bulilima Districts. Despite this, agricultural cooperatives in the districts contribute to employment creation, especially at household level where cooperative members are able to earn a form of income.
