PBNZ_Logo_flat_wide2_edited.png

The Peace Building Network of Zimbabwe is a network of organisations that have come together to coordinate peace-building initiatives in Zimbabwe. We aim to contribute to the building of sustainable peace and development. CCMT is the secretariat for PBNZ.

​

Background

 

The Peace Building Network of Zimbabwe was formed in August 2007 to create a space where organisations working in the conflict management and peace building field can share ideas and expertise. It was envisioned that from the knowledge acquired within this space, member organisations would be able to implement their activities in a coordinated way, which would benefit the communities within which they work. The Network provides a platform for CSOs to formulate joint responses to the needs of the communities and implement these in a coordinated way.
