The Government of Zimbabwe launched a new economic blueprint, the National Development Strategy 1 which runs from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2025. The program puts into action government’s transformation agenda to turn Zimbabwe into a prosperous and empowered upper middle-income society by December 2030. To this end, the Office of the President and Cabinet, in collaboration with the Public Service Commission and the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, directed all ministries, departments and agencies to develop strategic documents that align with the national vision and agenda. The National Peace and Reconciliation Commission’s (NPRC) vision is to deliver a peaceful Zimbabwe for all generations. This strategic plan transitions from the previous economic blueprint, the Transitional Stabilization Program, which ran from 2018 to 2020 and reinforces the importance of promoting healing and reconciliation as a necessary condition for achieving the national vision and aspirations. Of the 14 National Priorities under the National Development Strategy, the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission is a contributing agency to the Governance National Development Results Framework (2021-2025) and is one of the Lead Players in achieving the National Key Result Area on National Peace, Unity and Reconciliation.

The Commission’s strategy is underpinned on achieving the national agenda on devolution and, shall, in keeping with the National Peace and Reconciliation Act [Chapter 10:32] ensure that its services are accessible from every corner of the country. Informed by the Constitution of Zimbabwe and the National Vision, the Commission’s work feeds into the aspirations of the Africa Agenda 2063; ‘The Africa We Want’ which emphasises the ‘…strengthening [of] mechanisms for securing peace and reconciliation at all levels.’ The Commission is also alive to the need to align its work with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 16 which calls for the promotion of peace, justice and strong institutions.
