Civic Education Programme Activities
The CRD’s civic education program is conducted through rural and urban workshops, public meetings, community exchange programs and seminars where communities are educated and trained on the following 5 thematic areas;

II. Civil and political rights
Since 2006 the CRD has conducted several workshops in Rural Manicaland aimed at educating the communities on their civil and political rights. This is done against a background of sporadic episodes of political violence that have characterized politics of the day. Our civic education programme teaches communities on their political and civil rights and urging them to stand up for their rights. We also promote tolerance, non-discrimination on the basis of political affiliation and gender, de-politicization of traditional leadership structures and inclusion of rural women and youths in public policy making leading to peaceful coexistence. This aimed at creating an environment where people can exercise their rights without fear.
