Remarks delivered on July 8, 2021, by the APRM Secretariat on behalf of the Country Coordination Unit for Zimbabwe during the Zimbabwe APRM Popular Sensitisation (ZAPS) Civil Society Validation Workshop. The text emphasizes the critical role of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) process to enhance accountability and influence governance policies in Zimbabwe.

• The Zimbabwe APRM Popular Sensitisation (ZAPS) project aims to increase civil society participation in the Zimbabwean APRM process by building capacity, improving knowledge of APRM rules, and creating an evidence-based written submission regarding key governance issues in Zimbabwe.
• Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) are viewed as essential to the APRM process because they operate outside the state and can provide independent technical assessments of challenges and good practices across four thematic areas, including the private sector.
• CSOs serve as independent sources of information and recommendations for the APRM, particularly for assessing politically sensitive areas and monitoring the implementation of agreed-upon recommendations after reviews are finished.
• The APRM Secretariat encourages Zimbabwean CSOs to adopt a consensual and collaborative approach with national statutory bodies to foster governance debates without political contestation and to contribute to Country Review Reports.
