ABSTRACT This research tries to analyze the implementation of Structural Adjustment Programs in Zimbabwe during 1991-2000. Structural Adjustment Programs is a set of policy designed by IMF to help poor and developing countries survive from a great economic crisis from 1970s. The measures of the program were based on neo-liberal ideology which promotes trade liberalization, open international market, and privatization. However, the program that was targeted to end stagnation and other economic problems such as unemployment, poverty, and imbalance in wealth distribution, has failed to achieve its purpose in many adopting countries. One of which was Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is a poor country located in Southern of Africa that suffered from economic stagnation, budget deficit, and unsustainable government economic policies. The government adopted Structural Adjustment Programs with the hope in making better economic conditions in Zimbabwe. Nevertheless, until the withdrawal of Structural Adjustment Programs from Zimbabwe, it has failed in realizing those targets. Many factors took place in the failure of the implementation of the programs, namely insufficient preparation of the country’s economy and politics, rampant practice of corruption, natural disasters, and practice of oligo-politic by multinational companies and other international economy players.
