Corruption, high unemployment rates, underperforming banking system, lack of foreign investment, underperforming industries and poor infrastructure.
NGO
There are quite a few NGO helping Zimbabwe such as Talia's women (they are helping with period poverty in Zimbabwe by educating and providing resources)They have a website where you can donate money so more period products are sent to women in rural Zimbabwe.
UNICEF has been protecting and fighting for the rights and welfare of children in Zimbabwe. They sent out people to help with social services, is making the quality of services better, making food prices lower so that more people can afford them. Lots of support is given eg. improving water quality creating more access to food, water and medical needs/ medication. As well as child protection
What are locals doing
Locals are helping combat poverty by small scale farming. But over 2 million people are still living in poverty, this shows that small scale farming isn't very affective. During Covid-19 this has gotten worse. The locals are very dependent on government aid.
