About Us
The general goal of IPAZ to build a ‘hub’ which facilitates the development and output of public intellectuals researching on Zimbabwe capable of influencing public policy and drive evidence based civic engagement. To achieve this general objective the IPAZ will focus on Four Main Objectives that will act as a guide to the programmatic work:
- Facilitating collaborative independent and robust scholarly inquiry and exchange on important socio-economic issues in Zimbabwe
- Enhancing the role of Emerging Public Intellectuals capable of debating and influencing public policy processes
- Facilitate and increase public engagement in public policy processes through equipping citizens to shape public policy
- Promoting Engaged Public Dialogue on Public Policy through facilitating independent scholarly inquiry and publishing and disseminating this through various media.
