Key Points
- Cross-party National Economic Council to oversee economic recovery efforts.
- Call for international sanctions to be lifted - important re: those that US sanctions prevent Zimbabwe from using IMF or World Bank support.
- Independent Land Commission to oversee redistribution in a non-partisan way. Compensation of dispossessed commercial farmers falls to UK.
- Draft Constitution to be prepared - no fixed timescale. Specific reference to “enhancement of full citizenship” - possible relaxation of current rules?
- “No outsiders have a right to call or campaign for regime change in Zimbabwe” - that would be a Zanu-PF clause, I’m guessing…
- “all Zimbabweans regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, political affiliation and religion have the right to benefit from and participate in all national programmes and events without let or hindrance.” - as a supporter of Zimbabwean cricket, but not of ZC - that could be interpreted as a proscription against racial quotas in national teams.
- Guarantee of free political activity
- Guarantee of freedom of assembly and association, with retraining mandated for security services to ensure they understand this
- Impartiality of the civil service
- Political neutrality of traditional leaders
- Political neutrality of National Youth Training Programme, and ban on use of programme participants for partisan work
- Political neutrality of aid programmes, including NGOs
- Press freedom - outstanding applications for broadcast / newspaper licenses to be processed immediately
- Dissolving parliament requires both President and Prime Minister agreement
- Joint Monitoring and Implementation Committee to oversee implementation (4 members from each of the three signatory parties)
- Annual review
Government structure:

If it seems a little cumbersome, that’s because it is. That said, if Northern Ireland can run with 4 opposed parties in enforced coaltion, then this can be made to work too - if there’s the will on both sides to make it happen. That’s a big if.
