Statistics: Empowering Development through Data

At Crown Agents Zimbabwe (CAZim), we believe that data is a powerful tool for making informed decisions and driving sustainable development. Our work in various sectors, including health, humanitarian interventions, economic stabilization, and governance, is supported by robust data collection, analysis, and reporting, allowing us to measure impact, track progress, and identify areas for improvement.

This page presents key statistics from our various projects, demonstrating the scale of our work and the positive impact we are making in communities across Zimbabwe.
