European Union (EU) Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Jobst von Kirchmann yesterday launched a campaign that focuses on two shared priorities in the areas of greener and climate-smart agriculture and gender equality as well as women’s empowerment.

The initiative highlights the strength of the partnership, which has brought together peoples and institutions of both continents in pursuit of common goals.

Ambassador Kirchmann said the campaign is aimed at celebrating the positive impact of the unique partnership between Africa and the Union.

“The motto of the campaign we launch today is Zimbabwe and the European Union together, tomorrow, today. Through this campaign, the European Union would like to reiterate its ambition and commitment for a constructive relationship with Zimbabwe based on areas of common interest.

“The long-standing partnership between the two continents and our continuous interaction has inspired much meaningful and impactful collaboration,” he said.

Information and Broadcasting Services Minister, Monica Mutsvangwa expressed gratitude at the initiative, saying it was evidence that relations between the EU and Zimbabwe were improving.

“We are excited to see Zimbabwe and EU making strides in ensuring that positive relations are restored back to normalcy through diplomacy, dialogue and initiatives of common interest to support our communities,” she said.

Jah Prayzah and Ammara Brown are part of the team championing the cooperation between the EU and Zimbabwe through the Greener and Climate-smart Agriculture and Gender equality as well as women’s empowerment.

Tanzania, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo and Cameroon are also part of the 2022 campaign.
