Deep Dive

Earn-In Equity, Explained

Earn-in equity is HHIRA’s flagship policy proposal, the mechanism by which indigenous Zimbabweans gain real ownership in reserved-sector projects without the barrier of upfront capital.
1

Contribute

An indigenous participant contributes skills, networks or effort to a reserved-sector project.

2

Earn

Equity is earned progressively from the project's future profits rather than purchased upfront.

3

Own

Equity vests as profit distributions are made, real, beneficial ownership, not a token stake.

Addressing Exclusion

Removing the upfront-capital barrier means opportunity is no longer limited to those who can already afford to buy in.

Addressing Fronting

Equity that vests progressively and beneficially, rather than as a token allotment, closes the door on fronting arrangements that offer shareholding in name only.

Earn-in structures are not a novel or untested idea, they are already well established in international mining and investment practice.
