This research study evaluates human rights support programmes offered by civic organizations in harsh political and economic community in a
hyper inflammatory environment. An evaluation of human rights support programmes with special reference to Restoration of Hum an Rights
Zimbabwe (ROHR Zim) was the main objective of this research study. A qualitative approach was used in the study focus using g roup
discussions and in-depth interviews as research instruments used. The study showed that human rights support programmes which were
offered after political, economic and social crackdown in a crisis ridden community using participatory approaches were quite effective and
timely relevant. In addition, more effort and commitment was needed to enhance and improve human rights support programmes. This
research study recommends that the importance of human rights and human rights support programmes should also include peace
education programmes for the literate and illiterate, young and adults, rich and poor.
