The report draws from literature research, interviews, questionnaires and study tours. Inadequate funding of Geological Surveys is not unique to Zimbabwe; many wholly-government funded Geological Surveys the world over consider themselves to be under-funded. This has raised three interrelated questions over the years. First, should a nation’s Geological Survey solely rely on government funding? Second, should the Geological Survey ideally be a government department or a semi-autonomous state agency? Third, what other roles apart from traditional mapping of geology and mineral resources can Geological Surveys perform? | | Copyright Holder | Zimbabwe Economic Policy Analysis and Research Unit (ZEPARU) | | Copyright URL | http://www.zeparu.co.zw | | ISBN/ISSN | 9780797471368 | | Filesize | 1112279 MB | | File Format | PDF | | [ View / download original document ] |
