Get to know us

Welcome to Rural Electrification Fund (REF)

The Rural Electrification Fund (REF) is a statutory body governed by the Rural Electrification Fund Act (Chapter 13:20). Its background is that Post-independence Zimbabwean Government gave high priority to rural infrastructure development programmes, which included the rural electrification programme. The policy framework was a deliberate intention to correct the imbalances between urban and rural electrification with the ultimate goal of socially and financially empowering the rural communities and enhancing their capabilities in their contribution towards economic development of the country.

Benefits of REA and Services

The quality of education at electrified schools has improved significantly as the authorities are able to introduce technical subjects such as computer studies, fashion and fabrics, and sciences. Electrified schools are able to retain and attract qualified staff, thereby enhancing the pass rates at the schools.

Social Responsibility

Community Driven Projects include:

Villages

Farms

Irrigation Schemes

Individual Homesteads

Business Centres and other related projects
