Masakhaneni uses a human rights approach in implementing its programs. Communities are educated on the provisions of the constitution regarding rights and freedoms. This is done through holding community dialogues, conducting constitutional awareness and mobile legal aid clinics. Improving citizens’ constitutional awareness and general civic education is fundamental for conflict mitigation and peace building in communities. As a multi party system Zimbabwe suffers from the absence of a culture of tolerance of diverse views. Democracy as a principle has to be promoted and protected in order to achieve sustainable development. Absence of democracy is a pointer to the infringement of certain rights and freedoms in the communities and the nation at large. Masakhaneni provides platforms of engagement between rights holders and duty bearers on issues that affect their rights.
