Among the other participants were heads of faculties, research centers, and other units. The parties discussed promising areas of cooperation, including joint research in the field of e-Governance in Zimbabwe.

E-Governance is one of the most promising in Zimbabwe. Despite the fact that it’s not a rapidly developing one, it is progressing steadily and consistently. Among the latest achievements one can find is the launch of the electronic government procurement system (eGP) of Zimbabwe in 2023. It will enable the Zimbabwean government to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability, as well as to promote cost effectiveness in public procurement.
