Our Impact
Forbes Border Consortium is a public–private partnership driving the modernisation and sustainable development of the Forbes Border Post. Our key objectives are:
A Faster, Smarter Gateway
We are turning one of Zimbabwe’s busiest eastern crossings into a modern, efficient and environmentally responsible hub for trade and travel.
Empowering Local Communities
We prioritise local participation and support small and medium enterprises (SMEs), building lasting economic activity that benefits Mutare, Manicaland and the wider region.
Fostering Collaboration
We are setting a new benchmark for border management, strengthening public–private collaboration to create an efficient, transparent and inclusive border environment.
Jobs & Economic Growth
The project is a catalyst for lasting economic growth, creating meaningful employment across construction, engineering, operations and local services.
Responsible by Design
We embed Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles at the heart of every decision — designing and operating the border to minimise its environmental footprint, manage resources responsibly, and create lasting positive impact for the communities and ecosystems around Forbes.
Supporting National Goals
By investing in innovation, skills and regional connectivity, we help advance Zimbabwe’s wider development ambitions.
