Who Are We?

Bulawayo Progressive Residents’ Association is a civil society membership based organisation that seeks to bridge the gap between the city’s duty bearers and residents. We also seeks to promote effective residents and stakeholder participation in local, democratic, and accountable governance. BPRA adopted a down-top approach in local governance where residents are the ones who communicate issues that affect them in wards, as there are the ones who are bare the day to day service delivery issues.
