Switzerland donates towards Zim COVID-19 fight
Harriet Chikandiwa and Lorraine Muromo ·
SWITZERLAND has pledged US$2,3 million to support Zimbabwe and four other countries in Southern Africa in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The money will be channelled through the Swiss Agency for Development and Co-operation (SDC), and adds to more than US$34 million in health and food security assistance, and nearly $125 million in total assistance that Switzerland has provided to Zimbabwe and the region over the last five years.
About US$800 000 will go to SolidarMed, an international non-profit health organisation for its regional COVID-19 response.
