In a bold move to strengthen national integrity and advance Zimbabwe's economic sovereignty, the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) has established a groundbreaking partnership with Belarus, marking a significant step in the nation's fight against corruption.
Strategic Partnership for National Development

"By enhancing our competencies [in anti-corruption efforts] we want to improve the well-being of our peoples," declared Chairman Reza, highlighting the patriotic dimension of this initiative.
Strengthening Commercial Justice
The partnership comes at a crucial time as Zimbabwe continues to assert its authority in commercial justice matters. The delegation's assessment of Belarus' anti-corruption framework revealed significant preventative measures that will be adapted to protect Zimbabwean business interests.
Key Partnership Elements:

- Knowledge exchange on local-level anti-corruption implementation
- Strategic visits to major industrial enterprises
- Integration with presidential roadmap implementation
The collaboration will support the implementation of the bilateral roadmap signed by both nations' presidents, ensuring protection of national interests in upcoming joint ventures scheduled for May 2025.
Safeguarding National Industries

This practical approach demonstrates Zimbabwe's commitment to preserving its economic independence while fostering beneficial international partnerships.
