Development Watch Volume 4, Issue 2
Election observation is fundamentally an exercise in support of democracy. It helps to promote and protect the civil and political rights of participants in elections. Election observers aim to assess the conduct of an election process based on national and international election regulations. Even though they cannot prevent election fraud, they record and report suspicious practices that can lead to the correction of errors and weak practices. Civil Society Organisations have been recognised worldwide as having a significant role to play in promoting peace and democracy during elections. A recent study and publication by Dr Olivia Gumbo, a lead advisor and consultant with the Department of International Development, showed that CSOs disseminated information about the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) exercise across the country, contributing to high voter registration and high voter turnout in Zimbabwe's 2018 harmonised elections. This article seeks to summarise the requirements for voter education and election observer accreditation.

Development Watch Volume 4, Issue 1
Happy New Year to you all. It is our belief and hope that you rested, relaxed and managed to enjoy the festive holiday in preparation for yet another packed but promising year. We wish you all the success in whatever different thematic fields you are based in and the work you are doing in this new season. We welcome you to the new season with our first newsletter, Development Watch Volume 4, Issue 1. This is a continuation from our previous publications, Development Watch Volume 3, which ended on Issue 13. We hope we managed to satisfy everyone’s information hunger in the previous year with the various issues that our newsletter covered. We want to continue educating and informing you our members, colleagues and stakeholders so as to enhance your participation in national development processes. The newsletter also serves to share the different interventions being carried out in the community by both NANGO members and non-members as they continue to contribute towards sustainable development of the society. We are cognisant of the pandemic which is still among us and hence this issue continues to touch on Covid-19 related issues within the civil society and the country at large. The pandemic has and continues to detect our operations, our objectives and way of life. We continue to adapt to the new norm and, as usual reiterate for the need for strict adherence to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the government’s Covid-19 protocols and regulations by the general citizen. We also continue encouraging citizens to get vaccinated, and recommend for the government not to infringe the rights of the people in the COVID19 response measures and mechanisms.
