The monitoring of Campaign Spending is part of TI-Z’s longterm monitoring of the electoral process. This aspect of the monitoring is meant to give Zambians a rough estimate of how much political parties are spending on trying to convince the electorate to vote for them and will ultimately inform our ongoing advocacy on the pertinent issue of political party financing in Zambia. This report focuses on media advertisement during the month of July and presents key statistics on the level and cost of advertisement through private, community and public media houses.
