PUP president Hebert Chamuka said the new programme is designed to give communities across Zimbabwe a platform to participate in discussions about how the country should be governed. He explained that the IGA will focus on ensuring that different political players, civil society groups, and ordinary citizens are part of decision-making. “We want an agenda that opens space for everyone, the youth, the marginalised, and those who have been left behind by policies that are not working,” Chamuka said.
“Magunje will be the starting point, but our aim is to take this programme to every province.” The party said preparations for the Magunje event are already under way, with mobilisation teams engaging residents and traditional leaders. According to organisers, the launch will not be a one-off event but the beginning of a series of public meetings, consultations, and outreach activities aimed at building national consensus. Chamuka has previously argued that Zimbabwe’s socio-economic challenges, such as unemployment and poverty, require a broad, inclusive approach rather than partisan divisions.
The IGA, he said, would serve as a roadmap for power sharing, community involvement, and reforms that could bring stability and economic recovery. He also appealed to Zimbabweans from all walks of life, including other opposition parties and even ruling party members, to rally behind the initiative. “This idea is bigger than politics.

If we all come together and support the Inclusive Agenda, we can change the future of our country for the better,” Chamuka urged. The PUP’s efforts come after earlier attempts to launch the programme in Harare were delayed when police clearance was not granted.
