Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission Strategic Plan 2015-2020 10.28.4 Infrastructure sharing - The ZHRC will develop and implement a comprehensive infrastructure plan that will see the ZHRC partnering with other institutions to secure appropriate housing countrywide. (Action Plan Ref: Output 13D and 9B) 10.28.5 Nationwide stakeholder engagement framework – Consistent with the stakeholder mapping initiative, the ZHRC will develop a comprehensive nationwide stakeholder engagement framework in terms of which the ZHRC will coordinate program design, content, and execution. The Commission will monitor the implementation of agreed projects, maintaining ownership of outcomes and leadership of the process at all times, while the selected partners provide technical expertise. As an example, the Centre for Applied Legal Research (“CALR”), which drafts legal documents and offers legal and policy solutions, could be mapped under the Capacity Building and Institutional Development thematic focus area of the Commission and be requested to provide legal opinions and comprehensive proposals for alignment of key legislation to the Bill of Rights in the Constitution and relevant regional and international human rights instruments. (Action Plan Ref: Output 11A) 10.28.6 Media Liaison framework - In line with the Collaborative Approach, the Commission recognizes the media is an important stakeholder with the power not only to play a critical role in propelling the ZHRC’s human rights education and public awareness campaigns, but to influence the public image and perception of the ZHRC. To that end, as part of the public awareness strategy of the ZHRC, the Commission will develop a media-specific liaison and engagement framework, which will see the ZHRC engage members of the media community regularly to share information, as well as address any issues they may need clarification on. (Action Plan Ref: Output 11B) 10.28.7 Cooperation with other human rights institutions –The ZHRC will develop strong working relations with national human rights institutions (“NHRIs”) from other countries in the region and beyond, in order to create a platform for the mutual exchange of ideas and institutional development through exchange programmes and other forms of collaboration. (Action Plan Ref: Output 11D) 10.28.8 Strategic relationship with the business community - The business community in the private sector can partner with the ZHRC by sharing information, providing resources and channels for public awareness through advertising and marketing. These relations must be at arm’s length and should not compromise the independence of the Commission. (Action Plan Ref: Output 11B and 14B) 10.28.9 Monitoring And Evaluation Framework – Without compromising the independence of the ZHRC, a monitoring and evaluation framework will be developed to enable the Commission and its stakeholders to monitor the work of the ZHRC with a view to improving internal efficiencies.
