2024 IMPACT REPORT Report (3)-compressed
The ZITET Impact Annual Report highlights our organisation’s achievements and milestones over the past year, showcasing our commitment to driving positive change through innovative programmes and strategic partnerships. Through our flagship initiatives, such as digital and media literacy, community engagement, and research, we have empowered individuals and communities to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Our Capacity Building Programmes have trained over 1,000 people from diverse age groups on digital rights and safety, disinformation, constitutional literacy, and media literacy. Additionally, we have generated valuable knowledge products that serve as reference sources for policy and practice. To reach a wider audience, we leveraged social media to run campaigns on several issues, including combating gender-based violence, promoting cybersecurity, and enhancing media and information literacy which reached over 10,000 people. The success of our programmes was anchored on strategic partnerships with local, regional and international organisations.
Our priority areas for 2025 are driven by Zimbabwe’s Vision 2030, the African Union Agenda 2063 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, we are responsive to the evolving operating environment characterised by advances in technology, information overload, and natural and man-made disasters such as climate change. Our programming seeks to address these issues by empowering communities with the requisite skills and knowledge to resist shocks and develop sustainable solutions. Some of the priorities for our future programming include expanding our digital and media literacy training programmes to cover advanced topics such as artificial intelligence and data privacy, digital Literacy for rural communities, digipreneurship, media and information literacy. We also plan to launch new community engagement initiatives like intergenerational dialogues and community-led research projects as well as collaborating with international think tanks to produce cutting-edge research on the impact of technology on society.
