“This year’s performance contract signing ceremony is of critical importance, coming at the commencement of the NDS2 implementation period. The principles of managing for sustainable development results continue to anchor the systematic and successful rollout of our policies, programmes, and projects. This demands focus, resolve, and persistence.”

President Mnangagwa also added:
“I am pleased that the public sector, in general, is showing higher levels of patriotism, servant leadership, hard and honest work, unity of purpose, professionalism, and selfless service for the benefit of all our communities.”
