On the morning of Thursday 17 January 2013, the Committee of Seven met as planned with the Principals and all the issues raised above were resolved, to pave way for the revision of the Draft, which your Committee has done. It is this Final Draft Constitution that your Select Committee adopted on the 31st of January 2013 that the Select Committee hereby tables before this Honourable House for its consideration. 8. Funding of the Process The Constitution making process was funded by the donors through a basket fund managed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Zimbabwe Institute (ZI) and the Government of Zimbabwe. During the planning phase, the process was meant to be funded by a total budget of USD$21 million, with donor earmarked to contribute $14 million and the Government of Zimbabwe $7 million. It turned out that this was a gross underestimation of the resources required for the process. a) Whilst the initial budget had considered only seventy (70) Rapporteurs, these were then revised to two hundred and ten (210). b) A team of seventy (70) Technicians had initially not been considered in the budget. c) The numbers of meetings were initially inadequate to cover the areas required. d) The fuel required had to be adjusted to take into account the increased number of meetings to be held. e) The outreach exercise was extended by more than a third of the original plan. f) The long drawn discussions on the Draft Constitution. In view of the above, as the process comes to an end, a total of $50,725,715 would have been consumed in the process, with the Government of Zimbabwe contributing $28,611,804 and the donors weighing in with $22,140,911. The contribution by the Government of Zimbabwe is significant given the financial situation the country finds itself in. The donor community must be commended for keeping faith in the process and channelling more resources to ensure the successfully completion of the process. 52 The Constitution Select Committee (COPAC) Report to Parliament, February 2013
