The President noted that it would be critical for Action for Empowerment Zimbabwe to ensure that its empowerment programs are suitable for both urban and rural populations. “There is room for Action for Empowerment to contribute to the unfolding growth and development of our country which seeks to leave no one behind.”

President Mnangagwa also stated that AEZ must live up to its name by moving beyond mere rhetoric and provide real empowerment to the people. “You must create programmes that create action to give people empowerment,” he said. The AEZ board selected Alson Darikayi as the first president of the organization.

The organization will be focused on supporting and facilitating empowerment for all Zimbabweans, especially those in the grassroots, particularly women and the youths.

“We will ensure that our empowerment programmes and activities reach even the furthest and remotest corners of Zimbabwe,” said Darikayi. He said AEZ is an equal opportunity empowerment organisation whose aim is to be the leader in sustainable and inclusive socio-economic empowerment in Zimbabwe.
