What we do E-mail Print PDF

Our organization focuses on three priorities in Zimbabwean: humanitarian relief, governance and education.

ZIA Network actively collaborates with policymakers whose decisions affect Zimbabwe's future. We keep political leaders and citizen activists informed of critical developments affecting Zimbabwe’s political and humanitarian landscape through publications, such as our daily briefing and the ZimReport, - a regularly updated news and analysis web publication. ZIA is dedicated to mobilizing resources to respond to the humanitarian catastrophe the people of Zimbabwe have endured in recent years.

The right to freedom of expression, enshrined under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is widely recognized as a vital component of any legitimate democracy. In Zimbabwe journalists have been murdered, newspapers banned, radio stations closed, free-expression advocates jailed and citizens denied access to the information needed to participate in decisions affecting their lives and communities. Under such conditions, citizens are also denied the security of an environment that allows for the protection of their human rights. ZIA Network plays a key role in addressing such threats by exposing violations and raising awareness of the dangers faced by individuals across the country who dare to criticize powerful figures.

ZIA Network works to help build the foundation of a healthy democracy by protecting the rights and free expression of citizens who seek to hold those in power accountable. We also work to secure vital foreign aid to help ensure Zimbabwe's recovery from the ongoing political and economic crisis and to promote strategic cooperation between Western nations and this Southern African nation.
