At a time when all is ugly and gloomy for Zimbabwe’s youths, ZANU PF’s ZimAsset program received an $8million cash dish-out Tuesday afternoon as Western governments led by the UK, Sweden, and the US decided to pour in the cash.

The money is set to benefit 22,500 young Zimbabweans over the next three years.
The United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Embassy of Sweden, and the International Youth Foundation (IYF), in partnership with the Ministry of Small and Medium sized Enterprise and Cooperative Development (SMECD), jointly announce today a new alliance that will provide technical, vocational and entrepreneurship skills training to 22,500 young Zimbabweans over the next three years.
The partnership builds on the initial success of the USAID-funded Zimbabwe Works (ZW) Project, implemented from 2012 to 2014, which benefited more than 8,600 young people and worked with ten local training and service providers.
This new jointly funded, three-year (2015 – 2017) second phase of the ZW program will provide an additional $8 million in funding to improve the economic prospects for Zimbabwe’s young people in eleven urban and rural districts nationwide.
