Zimbabwe has only 1 500 civil, mechanical, architectural and scientific engineers out of about 6 000 accredited professionals in the field.

This emerged during the Zimbabwe Infrastructure Development Conference where delegates raised concerns about shortage of engineers in the country, as some have left the country for greener pastures.

Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers president, Engineer Israel Rwodzi said the conference was meant to position engineers in the country's economic revival drive towards a "Built Environment", an economy based on infrastructure development.

Eng Rwodzi said the role of engineers was critical in the context of a Zimbabwe that is open for business.
