1. Zimbabwe country Presentation on the AWPS Addis Ababa June 2016 Stephen Nyaruwata and Tinashe. Mwadiwa

2. Introduction The AWPS is qualitative in nature. It deals with issues that are not readily quantifiable such as women’s rights and violence against women. It focuses on those elements of the situation of women as enshrined in the various treaty body mechanism.(treaties, conventions and charters)

3. COMPILATION OF THE AWPS A credible AWPS will to a large extent depend on the composition of the National Advisory panel which should rationally look at the ratification, reporting and institutionalisation of the conventions, protocols,charter S given in the AWPS

4. In our case the compilation of state party reports is done within inter ministerial committees. There is always a lead ministry, usually a ministry mandated to deal with the major issues contained in the treaties. In the constitution of our NAP we made sure that all the ministries that chair inter ministerial committees are part of the NAP

7. Our current work on the AWPS will be informed by the current reports that have been compiled on the various treat bodies. It will also rely on the objective analysis of various sector policies, programmes, domestication processes and institutions that have been put in place.
