Zimbabwe

Since 2018, IFIT has accompanied the interdisciplinary group of 16 Zimbabwean thought leaders committed to advancing the conditions for inclusive democracy and the rule of law in the country. As a result of the multifaceted nature of the expertise embodied in the group, this represents a unique national space for brainstorming and generating creative, realistic and homegrown ideas for overcoming the challenges afflicting Zimbabwe’s society, politics and economy.

By virtue of the groups’ unique high level composition and inclusive methodology, it has an unusual ability to engageย with diverse local, organised society and national level leaders and youth across the country. The groups main strategic focus ย is developing and promotingย more realisticย conditions and options for national and political dialogue, whilst considering other solutions that could overcome the long standing polarisation and other deep rooted crises that have hampered the realisation of reconciliation and constitutionalism.
