The Development Potential of Zimbabweans in the Diaspora
This report is based on a survey of 1,000 Zimbabwean nationals living in the UK and South Africa which shows that most migrants have not cut their ties with Zimbabwe and are making a vital contribution to the development of their host countries.

When asked if they wanted to participate in development related activities in Zimbabwe, 73% of the respondents said they would be interested in a skills transfer programme.
