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 communitybased 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.
