The United Nations (UN) has recently pledged to back the Zimbabwe's
policy, Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic
Transformation(ZimASSET). According to the NewsDay, a Zimbabwean
privately owned newspaper, the UN promised give Zimbabwe over $400
million before the end of this year.

This is a good support and shows
that the ZimASSET is a good and acceptable policy.The question that however comes out from this development is on the applicability of the policy. Given the situation in Zimbabwe where there are a lot of reports on corruption issues and mismanagement of resources, it becomes impossible for one to believe that the money given to Zimbabwe by the UN is going to be used properly for the implementation of the ZimASSET policy. A lot of money is being funded into the country through organisations such as the Africa Development Bank (AfDB) and the World Bank (WB) but no one has ever looked into the use of the money . This gives room for mismanagement of the money.
Some have argued that the ZimASSET is a selling point for the government . This argument states that the ZimASSET policy was formed by the government as a way of looking for funds
