What We Do
ERC has ongoing activities mainly focused on strengthening citizen engagement in democracy and elections.
Consistently, the organisation has since 2010 designed various programmes that impacted positively towards the participation of citizens in democratic processes, much as they contributed to significant reforms to electoral processes particularly in Zimbabwe especially during the transitional period ahead of the 2013 polls which marked the denouement of the coalition.
Currently the organisation has ongoing activities relevant to the obtaining pre-electoral period mainly focused on strengthening citizen engagement in democracy and elections. In an effort to make demand meet supply, ERC closely engages key electoral policy makers in particular the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission, the Parliament of Zimbabwe and the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, the SADC, AU and the international community at large.
Fundamentally, the organisation has positioned itself as a conduit of citizen electoral priority issues, a resource centre of electoral research findings and advocacy for comprehensive legislative, environmental and administrative electoral reform.
