The Board of Directors will recall that the Government, with the support of the International Community, had requested the African Development Bank to play a lead role in assisting and supporting Zimbabwe’s economic recovery. The Bank has supported Zimbabwe over the past two years in line with the recommendations made in the Country Brief that was approved by the Board of Directors in 2010 (ADB/BD/WP/2010/Approval). The support comprised mainly technical assistance and institutional capacity building using grant resources from Pillar III of the Fragile States Facility (FSF) (see Annex 1 for the detailed programs financed). The assistance was largely aimed.
