Abstract:

As Zimbabwe extracts itself from years of turbulence, the Global Political Agreement (GPA) provides the map for the way forward. Thus, monitoring the implementation of the GPA provides some measure of understanding of progress in Zimbabwe.

This document gives a monthly overview of political developments in Zimbabwe, under the terms set out in the Global Political Agreement (GPA). The sections profiled in monthly outputs may vary depending on events and issues raised in that particular report. Where possible, the relevant article as stipulated in the GPA has been provided. As this documentation begins in April, there may at times be references to activities or events that took place in previous months. Issues are rated according to compliance with the GPA, noting where there are violations or decisions still to be taken. These assessments draw on reported activities and news media - the report is not intended to be comprehensive and is, to the best of our knowledge accurate at the time of release.

Article II - Commitment
