The Institutional Strengthening and Accounta­ bility programme further contributed to debate and research on alignment of laws with the new Constitution by producing analyses of draft laws and their compliance with the Constitution and international human rights norms and standards. These were published in simplified format and disseminated widely to the public by ZLHR’s civic and community partners. Copies were also provided to parliamentarians and used as a basis for ZLHR interactions with them in various parliamentary committee meetings, public hearings and seminars conducted in terms of the Memorandum of Understanding that ZLHR has with the Parliament of Zimbabwe. The analyses produced were complemented by policy and position papers on relevant issues, such as appointment of judges, the justice delivery system, and the independence of the judiciary. ZLHR also produced a comprehensive schedule of Priority Laws for Reform, as a basis for its continuing advocacy and policy engagement with government on the alignment of laws with the new Constitution.

The Legal Monitor has a weekly print run of 20,000 copies, and is distributed throughout the country, but with a particular focus and reach in peri-urban and rural areas in all 10 provinces. Issues covered included updates on cases taken up by ZLHR and its members, thematic human rights issues such as the right to water, shelter, and education, and simplified ‘Know Your Rights’ information. ZLHR also finalised research on three legal training manuals for lawyers and judicial officers – one on Socio-Economic Rights Litigation, a second on Trial Observation, and a third on Fundamental Rights Litigation.
