ZIMBABW E 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.
