Abstract
This report details an action plan for a pilot project to test options for business linkage development in Zimbabwe. The plan has a timeframe of 18 months, is based in Harare, and has a target of creating at least ten business linkages, each of which will be tested through at least two or three transactions. An introductory chapter examines the opportunities for and barriers to business linkages between large firms and indigenous businesses in Zimbabwe, while a final chapter outlines alternatives for moving beyond the pilot phase into full-scale implementation.
