ICNL provides technical assistance to local partners on proposed amendments of key legislation affecting the freedoms of association, assembly, and expression. Most recently we produced a practical guide to help organizers of gatherings, processions, and public demonstrations in Zimbabwe comply with the new Maintenance of Peace and Order Act, 2019. ICNL partners with organizations including the National Association of Youth Organizations to advocate for increased youth participation in civic space issues and associated law reform efforts, and the Media Institute of Southern Africa – Zimbabwe to respond to civic space constraints introduced in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
