Local churches that came up with a national vision document, 'The Zimbabwe We Want', have once again, embarked on nationwide consultations to gather views of people and come up with a comprehensive document that spells out solutions to the current economic crisis. In a statement on Tuesday, the churches said the pilot phase of the consultations had already seen them holding a meeting in Bulawayo on Monday and will hold another meeting in the Midlands province on July 16. "The approach the national visioning process has chosen is constructive engagement," the churches said. "The aim of the process is to facilitate dialogue among all stakeholders culminating in the development of the National Vision and National Values for the Zimbabwe We Want."

Last year, the churches, under the umbrella bodies of the Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe, the Zimbabwe Council of Churches and the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops Conference, produced a document titled: The Zimbabwe We Want: Towards A National Vision for Zimbabwe, which they submitted to President Robert Mugabe for consideration. The document, which was also handed over to opposition political parties, called for dialogue among political parties, notably between the ruling Zanu-PF and opposition Movement for Democratic Change to resolve the problems that the country faces. - New Ziana/ZANIS
