The whole spending package sits at Z$290 billion, with classrooms and teacher pay getting Z$47.4 billion at the top. Security forces scored Z$46.8 billion for recruitment and gear, while healthcare pulled Z$30.4 billion for rural clinics and medical supplies. Ncube also threw money at farming projects after the drought wrecked crops, giving agriculture Z$26.8 billion for irrigation and livestock programs. Road upgrades between major cities got Z$4.6 billion, and water projects like the Kunzvi Dam received Z$1.1 billion for drilling and construction. The government expects the economy to grow by five percent despite global headwinds putting pressure on local markets. [/QUOTE]
