2019 EDITION OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT CONFERENCE (LOGIC)

Chegutu Municipality participated at the 2019 edition of the Local Government Investment Conference held from the 13th-15th November 2019.

The conference was attended by Councillors as well as some officials from all 32 urban local authorities in Zimbabwe. The conference is an annual event that brings together urban local authorities, under the banner of the Urban Councils Association of Zimbabwe (UCAZ), Government Ministries/ Departments, investors, suppliers and sister local government associations, to discuss ways through which urban local authorities can attract investment into their areas of jurisdiction and how Government can facilitate such investment initiatives.

Like other local authorities, Chegutu Municipality also exhibited at the LOGIC conference, showcasing investment opportunities within the town. Several prospective investors and suppliers visited the Council stand to inquire about opportunities in Chegutu. The majority of the visitors made enquiries about residential, commercial, industrial and institutional stands available in Chegutu and they were furnished with the information as well as Council’s contact details for further discussions of their investment areas of interest. The Municipality’s exhibition stand compared well with some of the best displays at the conference.

The Guest of Honour for the 2020 LOGIC conference was His Excellency, President E.D. Mnangagwa, who also held a policy dialogue with conference participants, imploring local authorities to fully-utilise devolution funds towards the betterment of service delivery and capital development within their areas of jurisdiction, for the benefit of their residents.
