Annabel Hughes

Annabel Hughes "is a Zimbabwean citizen who has run the ZDT since January 2001. With its initial focus concentrating primarily on London, she chose to spread the ZDT's advocacy to Brussels, Washington, New York and the Commonwealth. In September 2002 she relocated to Washington, D.C. after the ZDT's head office was moved to the United States. As Executive Director, Annabel oversees international strategy development, project management and fundraising. Her advocacy efforts focus mainly on the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Administration, the Washington- and New York-based NGO communities and church groups, as well as international institutions. She proactively builds the ZDT's networks in the hope of raising awareness of the Zimbabwean crisis to new constituencies around the world."
