Zandile Goromonzi

Zandile Goromonzi serves as a Human Resources Specialist at USAID/Zimbabwe, where she plays a critical role in supporting the agency’s institutional capacity-building mission through strategic human capital acquisition. Her responsibilities include managing procurements for personnel services, organizational development, and administrative consulting that directly enhance local governance and program sustainability. She routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts for professional services related to workforce planning, training systems, and HR policy alignment, ensuring that USAID’s technical assistance initiatives are supported by robust, locally embedded human resource frameworks. Goromonzi collaborates with a diverse array of service providers, including management consulting firms, human capital development specialists, and local implementation partners with expertise in public sector HR modernization. Her contractor relationships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements that prioritize adaptive, context-sensitive solutions over transactional service delivery. She works closely with both domestic and international vendors capable of delivering culturally competent HR systems tailored to Zimbabwe’s public administration landscape. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, with 41.7% of her awards directed to 8(a) certified small businesses, demonstrating a deliberate preference for disadvantaged entrepreneurial participation. While the majority of her acquisitions are competed without set-asides, her consistent use of 8(a) authorities signals a strategic intent to build local capacity and empower underrepresented firms in the professional services sector. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (administrative management consulting) and 812990 (personal services), reflecting her specialization in HR systems design, leadership development, and organizational effectiveness services. She also regularly procures under NAICS 923120 for public health program administration support, aligning workforce solutions with USAID’s health and governance priorities. Goromonzi’s expertise ensures that human capital investments directly advance sustainable, locally led development outcomes.
