This milestone event represents a significant step forward as DPC continues to shape its strategic direction in close collaboration with an inclusive group of key stakeholders.

The workshop was convened with the specific objectives of:

  • Gathering valuable feedback and insights from stakeholders to inform the DPC’s strategic plan;
  • Ensuring that the DPC Strategy reflects national priorities as well as regional and global aspirations;
  • Fostering open dialogue and collaboration across all sectors represented.
  • Building trust and strengthening relationships with stakeholders to support the effective implementation of the Corporation’s mandate.

Among the distinguished attendees were officials from Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion, Office of the President and Cabinet: Corporate Governance Unit, Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, Insurance and Pensions Commission, as well as representatives from Pensioners’ associations, SMEs, National Council of Disabled Persons of Zimbabwe, Consumer Protection Commission, Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe, State Enterprises Restructuring Agency, and various church organisations.

Throughout the day, stakeholders engaged in lively and constructive dialogue, sharing perspectives on how the Corporation can best fulfil its mandate in a dynamic economic environment. Discussions explored critical themes including policy alignment, regulatory challenges, innovation, financial inclusion, and the importance of building and sustaining stakeholder trust. The diversity of viewpoints and expertise underscored the power of collaboration in shaping a forward-looking strategy.

DPC deeply appreciates the openness, insights, and thoughtful recommendations shared by all participants. These contributions will play a pivotal role in refining the DPC Strategy, ensuring it is both responsive to national development priorities and aligned with regional and global trends. This process reaffirms our commitment to transparency, accountability, and effective governance.

As we chart the way forward, DPC remains steadfast in its commitment to ongoing engagement with stakeholders. Together, we are laying a strong foundation for a more resilient and inclusive financial safety net, one that protects depositors and supports economic stability.
