THE Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers Union (ZCFU) has demanded transparency in the distribution of the €400 million intended for gender equality, women’s empowerment, and climate-smart agriculture in Zimbabwe.

The European Union (EU) launched the €400 million facility in November last year with the goal of promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment as well as more environmentally friendly and climate-smartagriculture.

“The €400 million towards Zimbabwe’s gender equality, women empowerment and climate smart agriculture is a welcome development which excites farmers and farmers’ unions,” ZCFU president Shadreck Makombe told NewsDay Farming.
