What happened to Zimbabwe's Gwanda Solar Project? This audit follows the contract, payments, court record, site evidence and reported 2026 restart of the proposed 100-megawatt solar power station. The central question is not whether money moved or litigation was won. It is whether public commitments became a functioning electricity asset.

What Did US$5.3B in Chinese Finance Build in Zimbabwe? How Much Is Owed? Kariba South • Hwange Unit 7 & 8

AidData identifies about US$5.3 billion in Chinese official-sector commitments to Zimbabwe from 2000 to 2023, including roughly US$4.7 billion in loan commitments and about US$560 million in grants and in-kind assistance. Historical commitments, however, are not the same thing as debt still outstanding today.
