METHODOLOGY<br />
This report is based on<br />
reports from ZPP long-term<br />
community based primary<br />
peace monitors (two in each<br />
of the 120 electoral<br />
constituencies of Zimbabwe),<br />
who observe, monitor and<br />
record cases of human rights<br />
abuse.<br />
The monitors compile reports<br />
that are handed over to ZPP<br />
Provincial Coordinators who<br />
manage ZPP offices in the ten<br />
administrative provinces of<br />
Zimbabwe.<br />
Upon receipt and verification<br />
of the reports from the<br />
monitors, the Provincial<br />
Coordinators compile<br />
provincial monthly<br />
monitoring reports, which are<br />
then consolidated at the national<br />
office, into the ZPP monthly<br />
monitoring report. In addition,<br />
ZPP reviews relevant literature<br />
including acts of parliament,<br />
policy documents and<br />
newspaper articles.<br />
