Zimbabwe government has also planned to roll out the first phase of the national land audit with over 180 000 farms earmarked for the two-phased audit in 2010. This was revealed in the recently launched Three-Year Macro-Economic Policy and Budget Framework for 2010-2012.
Government expects the land audit to facilitate a comprehensive re-planning and re-designing process of land use with regard to agro-ecological zones and protection of conservancies and wildlife.
