Abstract

Abstract This study examines the insights on corporate social responsibility contributions made by corporate organisations towards the development of Chiadzwa community in Zimbabwe. Despite CSR initiatives aimed at addressing social and environmental challenges, the community remains reliant on humanitarian aid and subsistence farming. The study's key findings reveal that community leaders in Chiadzwa perceive CSR contributions as ineffective and inadequate, driven by corporate self-interest rather than genuine community development, highlighting concerns over sustainability, community engagement, environmental degradation, and marginalization. The study's findings indicate that private organisations' CSR initiatives in Chiadzwa have been inadequate and unsustainable, failing to address pressing community needs.
