Almost all the houses in low density do have at least 70 % coverage in terms of electricity power supply which is in the hands of ZESA – Zimbabwe electricity supply commission.

In the rural areas mostly wood is used leading to a massive environmental disaster plus paraffin which is handily accessible.
Adult education is currently one of the main targets in the education policy in Zimbabwe. The education policy of the country is mainly represented inter-alia by the Ministry of Education and Culture which has regional offices scattered throughout the country. The system used to work more efficiently in the past and has since deteriorated owing to the current socio-economic situation. The reason why adult education is of great importance are historical aspects – mainly the imbalances perpetrated by colonialism before independence, hence the readdressing of the situation.
In an ever increasingly competitive world, globalisation and the fast changing information technology the organisations, institutions have to adapt to the changing times-which is being fostered by the organisations and companies through a programme termed staff development which is strongly gaining importance as can be seen through the improved budget allocations towards the programme.
