Abstract: This study sought to examine the challenges of implementing the ease of doing business (EODB) in the mining sector in Zimbabwe. The study used both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies where 25 mining managers were purposively selected while simple random sampling was used to select 90 mining employees. Data collection methods included online interviews, document review and direct observations. The results revealed that the Government of Zimbabwe had made some strides in its endeavour to improve the business environment through the promulgation of the relevant legislation, however a lot needs to be done in this area. It was also found that numerous benefits arose from proper implementation of the EODB in Zimbabwe which is poised to improve the business environment including the mining sector, culminating in the increase in productivity, economic growth and subsequently raising the people’s standards of living. Future researchers should interrogate the effects of corruption on the implementation of the EODB in Zimbabwe.
