Description/notes

We are an inclusive non-profit membership-based organization of vendors and informal traders dedicated to the creation of a just and inclusive society in which informal economy workers have a voice, decent work and sustainable livelihoods. BVTA was founded by informal economy workers and activists based on the realization that informal traders are a significant contributor to the economy in Zimbabwe yet they are not recognized, their rights are infringed upon, they live and work in vulnerable, precarious and uncertain social and economic conditions.
