Rapporteur per team. However, in order to deal with suspicions regarding the accuracy and integrity of the information recorded, the Select Committee resolved to have three Rapporteurs per each team, one drawn from each of the political parties in the GNU. This resulted in a total of two hundred and ten Rapporteurs who operated throughout the country. Two hundred and twenty Rapporteurs were trained in Harare at the ZESA training centre, ten more than the number to take into account drop outs in the process. The hallmark of the training was on ensuring that accurate information would be recorded during meetings. The training was also on reporting templates and how the Rapporteurs were to collaborate after a meeting in order to have one agreed report to be also signed by the Team Leaders. A guide for the meetings was also part of the training manual. The training was a huge success. The Select Committee also roped in the Provincial Administrators for their own training on the side lines of the training of Rapporteurs. The Provincial Administrators, whom the Select Committee titled Provincial Coordinators for the purpose of this work, were to be key during outreach meetings. They were to be instrumental in ensuring that meetings were held at the appropriate meeting points as agreed to by the Select Committee. They were also to be key in mobilising the District Administrators (titled District Coordinators) to secure accommodation and other service providers within their districts. With all the key participants fully aware of their responsibilities through the training programme, the stage was now set for the commencement of the outreach process. 2.
