Practical Action Southern Africa's Resource Centre, based in Zimbabwe, has a collection consisting of over 3000 books, journals, and technical briefs.

A computerised database management system is used to store, search and retrieve material for users. The Resource Centre also holds slides and photographs of Practical Action Southern Africa Projects.

About 40 to 50 users visit the Resource Centre each week, and whilst many people utilise the centre for reference purposes, recommended users can borrow material without a charge.
