My Zim Dialogue is a creative multi-media platform where all Zimbabweans can form a community, exchange information and dialogue to increase citizen’s voice and participation – the necessary ingredients for the country’s peace and development
Background
My Zim Dialogue is a joint initiative between the Culture Fund of Zimbabwe Trust, UNDP and the Community of Practice, an umbrella body of peacebuilding policymakers and practitioners, in their best efforts to support Zimbabwe’s journey towards peace and development. It is a platform that allows Zimbabweans from diverse backgrounds to exchange and share valuable opinions and ideas on national issues, which form the basis for more resilient and cohesive community and lasting peace in the country.
The Community of Practice and its partners are seeking to enable sharing of experiences as well as development of knowledge on Peace building and Conflict Management issues in the country through the platform. In order to support on-going dialogue processes and to document existing initiatives, it is important for Zimbabweans to have a platform where they can present their work on peacebuilding and exchange ideas on national issues related to peace and social cohesion with dignity and respect. This platform provides such an opportunity for constructive exchange and dialogue while encouraging knowledge and information sharing through innovative media content.
Objectives
