Shaping the Future of Engineering and Iron & Steel Industries
Dear Stakeholders,
At NEC, we are committed to advancing social justice and democracy within our industry by ensuring adherence to fair labour practices. As a statutory body formed under the Labour Act [Chapter 28:01], we operate as a bipartite labour body, uniting employer and employee organizations to address labour-related issues in Zimbabwe’s robust engineering sector.
As we roll out the NEC Strategic Plan for 2025-2030, crafted under the expert leadership of our council chairperson Advocate Canaan F. Dube and with robust support from the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, I am inspired by the collaborative spirit that has fuelled our strategic vision. This plan is a testament to our commitment to driving sustainable growth and innovation, despite the challenging dynamics of our industry.
Our strategic pillars—Revenue Diversification, ESGEE Integration, Stakeholder Engagement, and Modernization and Technology Adoption—are tailored to ensure NEC’s resilience and relevance in an evolving industrial landscape. These initiatives are designed to enhance our operational efficiency and financial stability, securing the economic welfare of all our stakeholders.
This transformative journey towards strategic renewal, grounded in good governance and transparency, reflects the collective dedication of our board, management team, and all NEC employees. Your unwavering enthusiasm and commitment to fostering industrial harmony and advocating for fair labour practices have been vital to our achievements.
As we move forward, NEC aims to solidify its role as a premium industrial relations hub, leading with innovative solutions and strategic foresight. This plan is our pledge to you—our employers, employees, and partners—that we will tirelessly advocate for your interests and work towards a prosperous, equitable, and harmonious industrial environment.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Together, we will navigate the complexities of our industry and emerge stronger, united in our mission and driven by our shared values.
Warm regards,
T C Nyamatore
CEO, National Employment Council for the Engineering and Iron and Steel Industry
