Whereas, under his leadership, UZ has solidified its position as a premier institution of learning in Zimbabwe. Professor Mapfumo has played a pivotal role in shaping national strategies, including the development of Zimbabwe's first National Climate Change Response Strategy, and has been an integral part of the country's efforts to integrate scientific research with policy. His work extends beyond Zimbabwe, with contribution to international platforms, such as the United Nations High-Level Panel on Food Security and Nutrition, where he provides expertise into sustainable agricultural practices; and
Whereas, a recognized authority in his field, Professor Mapfumo is a prolific scholar with over one hundred fifty published research papers in leading regional and international journals. He is a driving force in transforming Zimbabwe's academic and scientific landscape and is dedicated to advancing education, environmental stewardship, and innovation for future generations. Now, therefore,
