SUPPORT TO THE ELECTORAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION  OVERSIGHT AND CAPACITY BUILDING ZAMBIA

“Support to the Electoral Dispute Resolution Oversight and Capacity Building Zambia
(SEDROBZ)” project is a project implemented by the Southern African Institute for Policy
and Research (SAIPAR) and supported by the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa
(OSISA) aimed at assessing the compliance of Election Dispute Resolution (EDR)
mechanisms to regional and international standards governing electoral justice. It also
serves as a resource on how electoral stakeholders, especially the political parties, can
access both formal and informal EDR mechanisms in Zambia. In addition, the project will
track EDR cases before, during and after the elections. The aim of this activity is to provide
an in-depth understanding of any shortcomings in the existing legal framework as well as the
current practice in adjudication of electoral matters both within the Election Administration
and the Zambian judiciary.
