A draft report was produced and validation meetings were held on 10, 17 and 18 March 2016 in Harare, Bulawayo and Mutare. The final report was launched on 22 March 2016 and submitted to the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights on 24 March 2016. From July to November 2016, ZLHR conducted advocacy missions with various embassies located in Zimbabwe, Switzerland and South Africa in order to apprise them of the human rights situation in the country and lobby for specific and targeted recommendations to be made at the review. As a result of the advocacy initiatives of CSOs around the UPR that targeted 25 countries and prioritised 45 recommendations, 63% of the proposed recommendations were raised during the second cycle review of Zimbabwe on 3 November 2016. 0HPEHUVRI&62VIROORZSURFHHGLQJVRI=LPEDEZH·V835YLDZHEFDVW ZLHR Annual Report 2016 3RVW8QLYHUVDO3HULRGLF5HYLHZUHSRUWEDFNPHHWLQJ On 30 November 2016, ZLHR invited organisations that participated in the compilation of the 2016 Civil Society Stakeholder Report for a report back meeting in order to update them on how the review of Zimbabwe proceeded, to formulate strategies to lobby the government to reconsider recommendations it did not accept or had deferred for consideration before adoption of the final outcome report during the March 2017 Human Rights Council session. More importantly, the meeting sought to formulate a monitoring framework for the accepted recommendations. A direct outcome of the meeting was that participants were able to cluster the recommendations thematically and come up with indicators for the measurement of progress.
