Data Gathering Methodology
Information contained herein is based on reports from ZPP long-term community based
human rights monitors, who observe and record cases of human rights violations in the
constituencies they reside. ZPP deploys a total of 420 community-based primary peace
monitors (two per each of the 210 electoral constituencies of Zimbabwe). The monitors
compile reports that are handed over to ZPP Coordinators who man the different ZPP
regional offices in the ten administrative provinces of Zimbabwe. Upon receipt and
verification of the reports from the monitors, the Coordinators compile provincial monthly
monitoring reports, which are then consolidated at the national office into the ZPP Monthly
Monitoring Report published in retrospect.
This report contains some of the violations recorded by ZPP, the organisation has a data
base with the rest of the injustices and gladly shares it with interested stakeholders.
