By integrating relevant international conventions and recent data, this paper offers a comprehensive understanding of Zimbabwe’s progress toward the 2030 Agenda. This expanded review offers an analysis of Zimbabwe’s policies and their implications for achieving the 2030 Agenda, addressing key issues and providing a detailed assessment of the challenges and opportunities in combating poverty and hunger.
