ZIMBABWE PEACE PROJECT BACKGROUND & INFORMATION
The Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) was conceived shortly after 2000 by a group of Churches
and NGOs working or interested in human rights and peace-building initiatives, and was to
become a vehicle for civic interventions in a time of political crisis. In particular ZPP sought to
monitor and document incidents of human rights violations and politically motivated breaches
of the peace e.g. violence.
Today, ZPP’s co-operating member organizations include, Zimbabwe Council of Churches
(ZCC), Catholic Commission for Justice & Peace in Zimbabwe (CCJPZ), Evangelical
fellowship of Zimbabwe (EFZ) Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN), Counselling
Services Unit (CSU), Zimbabwe Civic Education Trust (ZIMCET), Zimbabwe Lawyers for
Human Rights (ZLHR), Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZIMRIGHTS), Civic Education
Network Trust (CIVNET), Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe (WCoZ) and Habakkuk Trust.
