The ZCTU in conjunction with other partners held a policy conference targeting ZCTU General Council members as well as 8 affiliates of Industry-All (a Global Union), which was a culmination of a ZCTU project “Making Trade Work for Workers”. The theme of the conference was Trade, Investments, Industrialisation & Decent Work With Special Reference to the AfCFTA. The key objectives of the conference are to emerge from the workshop with labour policy position on Trade, Investments & Industrialisation which will pushed for by labour in efforts to achieve the Decent Work Agenda while practically analysing the FTAs the government has committed to. The process included understanding of Trade and investment issues through analysing the trade agreements which Zimbabwe is part to while at the same time capacitating Trade Union leaders with strategies and tools to navigate the trade and investment terrain.  These objectives are well aligned with the NDS1 as it focuses on enhancing systems for integrated planning and implementation, sustaining our ecosystems towards a green economy and building inclusive and sustainable communities
