The Cabinet of Zimbabwe last week (09 November 2021) approved a memorandum on the co-operation project between the National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe (NMMZ) and the French Development Agency (FDA) on the improvements of infrastructure at the Great Zimbabwe World Heritage Site. According to news reports from May 2021, France, through the French Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Mr. Laurent Chevallier, has pledged to upgrade the facilities at the monument and to assist in the marketing of the Great Zimbabwe World Heritage Site.
The Great Zimbabwe World Heritage Site is located in southeastern Zimbabwe, about 30 km southeast of Masvingo. Great Zimbabwe is the name for the stone remains of a medieval city. Construction on the city began in the 11th century and continued until it was abandoned in the 15th century. Great Zimbabwe, which covers an area of nearly 80 ha, was an important trading centre and was renowned from the Middle Ages onwards. The National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe (NMMZ), under the Ministry of Home Affairs, is the entity directly responsible for the management of the Great Zimbabwe World Heritage Site.
