Jobst von Kirchmann

Jobst von Kirchmann is the Head of Delegation of the European Union to Zimbabwe, where he plays a crucial role in diplomatic relations and aid negotiations. He has been vocal about the EU's concerns regarding governance and civil society in Zimbabwe, particularly in light of recent legislative changes that threaten democratic principles. His recent statements highlight the EU's suspension of debt relief aid to Zimbabwe following the enactment of the controversial Private Voluntary Organisations (PVO) Amendment Bill, which he describes as a setback for civic space and governance in the country.
