Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission Strategic Plan 2015-2020 to time review the number of Thematic Working Groups, their respective terms of reference and constitution thereof, currently the eight thematic groups for the Commission are: 1. Capacity Building and Institutional Development; 2. Children’s Rights; 3. Civil and Political Rights; 4. Environmental Rights; 5. Women’s Rights and Gender Equality; 6. International Treaties and Agreements; 7. Economic Social and Cultural Rights; and 8. Special Interest Groups (youth, elderly and persons living with disabilities). (Action Plan Ref: Output 3B) 10.8.2 Outreach framework for marginalized persons - Specific outreach programs will be implemented to safeguard the rights of minorities, marginalised or vulnerable persons, including the rights of people living with albinism, the rights of children, the youth, women, prisoners, refugees, persons living with different kinds of disability, victims suffering the on-going effects of historical human rights violations, as well as the rights of the poor, hungry, sick, homeless and vulnerable people living in abject poverty as a result of sustained economic malfunction. Without derogating from its obligations to execute the entire constitutional mandate without delay, the ZHRC will pay special attention to these stakeholders’ needs and address them appropriately. (Action Plan Ref: Output 11A and 13A) 10.8.3 Poverty Eradication as a human rights priority - The general economic mal-performance in all key sectors of the economy, and growing poverty at both the household and institutional levels, remain the biggest sources, if not causes, of human rights violations in Zimbabwe. The basic right to clean water for all, to food, to education, to decent shelter, and even the need to maintain decent prison conditions, for instance, are all dependent on financial capacity to establish and maintain the requisite infrastructure, capital expenditure, adequate working capital to keep institutions running effectively (i.e. for line ministries, independent commissions like ZHRC, municipalities, parastatals, utilities, health and education facilities). At a domestic level, the non-availability of employment and other sources of revenue limits the capacity of families to access food, water, decent health and school facilities. 26
