Protecting, Promoting and Enforcing Human Rights and Fundamental Freedom Promotion of Human Rights [continued] 7.3 Stakeholder Engagement Throughout the year the Commission intensified engagements with stakeholders by interacting directly with the public for promotion of human rights as well as raising its visibility. Such efforts include the following; 7.3.1 External Stakeholder Consultative Workshops for the ZHRC's Strategic Plan, 12 and 14 of May 2015 ZHRC held two consultative meetings in order to come up with a Strategic Plan to guide its work from (2016-2020). One was held in Bulawayo, covering the Southern Region and the other was held in Harare covering the Northern Region. The workshops sought to define ZHRC's short term and long term objectives, its strategic focus areas and carry out a ranking of the strategic priorities so as to allocate resources accordingly. The exercise sought to identify the resources required to support the strategy in a sustainable manner as well as putting in place a comprehensive resource mobilisation plan that supports the strategy; and ultimately, to establish the foundation for a robust, independent, credible and effective Human Rights Commission, that has the buy-in, support and commitment of key stakeholders. 7.3.2 Training on Engagement with UN Human Rights Mechanisms and monitoring places of detention, 8-10 October 2015 ZHRC had an opportunity to go through an intensive training on engaging with international human rights mechanisms as well as monitoring places of detention. The training was facilitated by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in collaboration with the UNDP. Experts were brought in from the OHCHR and UNDP to deliver the knowledge. Best practices on monitoring places of detention as well as investigative monitoring were derived from the Uganda Human Rights Commission experiences through two of its representatives who were facilitators. 7.3.3 Engagement with the Education Sector, February 2015 ZHRC conducted a series of meetings with the MOPSE to explore ways of engaging with the Ministry on integration of Human Rights Education (HRE) into the school curricula in view of the curricula review process under way. This is part of an initiative to explore ways of effectively integrating human rights into the school curricula as set out in Section 7 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe. This initiative is still ongoing. In line with education sector engagement, ZHRC supported Prince Edward High School (23 October) in convening a seminar of secondary schools in order to encourage formation of human rights clubs in schools. The seminar was attended by eight (8) schools. The resolution was that human rights clubs will act as conduits for the dissemmination of human rights education and awareness. 28 Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission Annual Report 2015
