World Bank to give Zimbabwe $22 mln grant

HARARE, May 18 (Reuters) - The World Bank said on Monday it will soon give Zimbabwe a $22 million grant, the bank's first since a power-sharing deal was signed.

Toga Gayewea McIntosh, the World Bank's executive director for Africa's Group 1, which includes Zimbabwe, said after meeting Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and Finance Minister Tendai Biti that small grants would be offered for now and the $22 million should be available in the next few weeks.
