Planning And Delivery Of Projects Under The Impact Of Covid-19 Some Reflections On Zimbabwe

This article is a desktop study that seeks to discuss ethical considerations in the planning and delivery of projects under the impact of COVID-19, engaging evidence from Zimbabwe. The global impact of COVID-19 on project delivery has affected plans, costs and project timelines. In Zimbabwe, project planning has been affected by unsettled national and local politics. The COVID-19 pandemic might be another factor that has affected the delivery of projects and effective planning in the country. Several projects that started before the pandemic failed to be completed on the planned times lines and even in post-COVID-19 era, they are still in progress. The key cause of delays which will be discussed herein, includes re-allocation of financial resources to fight during and after the pandemic in monitoring construction projects in Zimbabwe.
