ABOUT ZPP
The Zimbabwe Peace Project, ZPP, is a peace-promoting organisation that uses human
rights lenses in peacebuilding, having established that the deprivation and abuse of human
rights pose the greatest threat to peace in Zimbabwe.
The organisation was established in 2000 as a project of civil society and faith-based
groups in response to the violence and human rights violations that characterised the
political landscape of the time. These organisations were the Catholic Commission for
Justice and Peace (CCJP), the Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe (EFZ), the Zimbabwe
