Growth point

Growth point

A Growth Point is a rural village or small town in Zimbabwe. The term is applied by the Zimbabwe Government for certain designated villages or small towns. Growth Points are almost always located in a communal land (formerly Tribal Trust Lands or TTL's), and usually there is only one Growth Point per communal land. The Growth Point could be considered to be the capital of the communal land and the service center of the communal land. Growth Points are generally underdeveloped, and receive additional resources and incentives from Government to encourage their development to proper towns in their own right. The long term aim is to also reduce rural-urban migration.

Examples of Growth Points in Zimbabwe include; Magunje, Murambinda, Murombedzi, Sadza, Domboshawa and Gwengwerere Growth Point, Zimbabwe.
