CfP/ZWE/PSC/2088/9/11/2018: Call for Proposal Conducting a Comprehensive National Study on Urban Resilience and Developing Urban Resilience National Strategy in Zimbabwe Resilience Programming in Zimbabwe has been largely focused on the rural areas, with various multi-million-dollar mechanisms e.g. the Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund (ZRBF), amongst others.
