The compensation, totaling $20 million, was made possible by Zimbabwe's need for international investment and pressure from several countries with similar BIPPA agreements. This demonstrates how international agreements can influence land restitution efforts, even in cases of significant political upheaval and economic crisis. The agreement required Zimbabwe to compensate farmers whose land was nationalized; this payment is the result of years of lobbying and negotiations.
