This seminar open to the general public is the inaugral meeting of Cafe Internationale hosted by the University of Aberdeen Centre for Sustainable International Development.
Dr Chimhowu has since early 2009 led a group of Zimbabweans in collaboration with the Centre for Applied Social Sciences at the University of Zimbabwe in an intellectual project to understand the decade old socio- political crisis and prospects for recovery, reconstruction and development in Zimbabwe. In December 2009 a report (the main output of this work) entitled: 'Moving Forward in Zimbabwe: Reducing Poverty and Promoting Growth' was released. The report's main narrative is that an agrarian-led growth strategy is the quickest way to a poverty focused recovery, reconstruction and development. In this seminar presentation Dr Chimhowu will talk about this agriculture-led recovery reconstruction and development as well as other key themes in the report and draw some lessons for recovery from conflict in Africa.
