We welcome USAID Zimbabwe’s new Mission Director, Art Brown to Harare. Mr. Brown brings a wealth of leadership and experience to our Mission. He will lead USAID to implement programming that will deepen America’s relationship with the Zimbabwean people.
USAID has for many years been one of the leading organisations fighting the humanitarian crisis in the Southern African country.
Brown comes when the economic and humanitarian crisis in Zimbabwe has deepened following a poor farming season with the coronavirus induced lockdown doing less to help the situation.
More than half of the country’s population is facing starvation as a result.
