Over the five year period 2014 to 2019, DFID is providing approximately £24 million of support to civil society to increase transparency and accountability, promote and protect human rights and citizen engagement in Zimbabwe. This includes technical assistance to the Human Rights Commission and support to a number of human rights NGOs.
