Synergies and Collaborations The majority of respondents (39.1% of the respondents) want to see the NPRC creating synergies with civic society organisations. While the NPRC will be leading the peace and reconciliation processes, study respondents suggested that they want civic groups to take an active role in the reconciliation process because they distrust the government acting alone. However, churches, political parties, individuals and the international community should take part in healing Zimbabwean communities from the past violations. Traditional leaders were least preferred actors in leading peace and reconciliation processes because of their partisan conduct and alignment to the ruling party (ZANU PF). Indicators of Success Without the ability to measure the accomplishments of the NPRC it could be difficult to judge the relevance of the NPRC. Therefore, research respondents provided different indicators that can be used to assess the performance of the NPRC. Some of these suggestions • include; the government’s provision of legal systems that operationalize the NPRC, development of early warning and early response systems, the NPRC’s material resource base, ensuring the presence of parliamentary oversight among others.
