Since our inception in 2000, we have been monitoring the human rights situation in the country and recording human rights violations through human rights monitors across the country. Monitors have “Big ears, Big eyes, and a Small mouth”. Our team has experience verifying and reporting human rights violations. Our monitoring has two interrelated activities: collection and documentation. Through monitoring, we collect information and data to determine the truth as accurately and thoroughly as possible on particular allegations of human rights violations.
The monitoring work is evidence-based, and the ZPP team verifies and analyses all human rights violation reports before producing the organisation's flagship publication, the Monthly Monitoring Report (MMR), and other related products.

We also commission research on selected human rights topics as necessary; the MMR and ad-hoc reports inform our peacebuilding and social cohesion interventions and constitute the evidence base for our advocacy work. We distribute our MMR and ad-hoc reports using various offline and online platforms, with some reports targeted at specific audiences.

We place women at the heart of peacebuilding—ensuring they lead, decide, and influence policies in human rights, conflict resolution, and community security. Guided by UNSCR 1325 and related frameworks, we address the barriers to women’s participation and amplify their role as peacebuilders. We build women’s leadership capacity, link peacebuilding to economic empowerment, and create safe spaces for women to engage in conflict resolution. We work with state and non-state actors to promote inclusive decision-making and stronger gender-responsive policies.
