A Zambian society which upholds tenets of democracy which promotes people participation, rule of law, media reforms and respect of human rights .The programme engages with legislators, Ministry of Justice, Electoral Commission and CSOs on laws governing the electoral process; building the capacity of the dioceses to conduct voter education; engaging political parties on promoting women’s participation as candidates in the electoral process;

The State is transparent, accountable, and responsive to people’s needs by demanding justice and accountability on policy implementation, adoption, formulation and practice. This involves building stronger political pressure, by applying coordinated efforts of community mobilisation, dialogue and engagement with policy and decision makers.

Introduction and Background: The Catholic Centre for Justice, Development and Peace (CCJDP), inspired by the Gospel and the Social Teaching of the Church, and taking advantage of the pluralist dispensation brought about by the re-introduction of multi-party politics in 1991, has been operating a Parliamentary Liaison Programme (PLP) in Zambia since 2001.

Introduction: This is a report by CARITAS Zambia on the issues around the allocation, disbursement and utilisation of Constituency Development Fund (CDF) in Zambia.

Constituency Development Fund was introduced in Zambia in 1995 as a means of providing local authorities in Zambia with discretionary finances for projects identified and implemented with community participation.

The General objective of this research is to investigate the impact of the current land law regime on the livelihoods of peasants in Zambia.

The backdrop of this research is that one of the key principles of the social teaching of the Catholic Church is that of “option for the poor”.

Executive Summary

The advent of lead mining in Kabwe dates as far back as 1904 whilst the mining activities came to an end in 1994 after the closure of a number of mines in Zambia. However, the effects of lead mining though are still being felt and have generated discussions focused on three main areas of concern especially in the affected communities such as Makululu compound of Kabwe town.
