It was during this workshop that five thematic working groups on access to electricity; access to clean cooking solutions; energy efficiency; renewable energy; and regulatory framework and financing mechanisms, were set-up to help define the country’s SEforALL objectives and identify the priority areas for the SEforALL Action Agenda (AA) and Investment Prospectus (IP).

Yorke (Ph.D) 1 UNICEF, Lusaka, Zambia 2,3 Dag Hammarskjӧld Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies, Copperbelt University, Zambia Abstract In Zambia, the debate surrounding whether or not it is much more salutary to instruct children in their first language (L1) or mother tongue in the early stages of their academic development appears to have subsided in the last two decades, in favour of its proponents. Undoubtedly, this more valorizing and somewhat conflict-mitigating view of African languages is due, in no small measure, to the establishment of the African Academy of Languages (ACALAN) in Bamako, Mali, in 2001 under the theme, “African Languages for a Peaceful, Prosperous and Integrated Africa”. Scholars have consistently challenged the traditional practice by most African states of adopting ex-colonial languages as a medium of instruction in schools. This is because research has shown that native speakers forced to learn in a foreign language tend to lag behind in their academic development as they attempt to first learn the new (imposed) language. Based on this realisation, in 2013, Zambia set trends among many African countries by adopting a policy of teaching in local languages at lower grade levels (grades 1-4). This policy is reported to be working remarkably well in most parts of the country.

    Testtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt Country Office Annual Report 2019 Zambia Update on the context and situation of children Zambia is considered a stable country in southern Africa with democratic elections held every five years. The next elections will be in 2021. Zambia’s estimated population in 2019 was 17.4 million, of which 56.9 percent is rural and 43.1 percent urban[1]. The population is youthful, with children (under 18) representing 54.4 percent – a total of 9.4 million. 80 percent of the population are below the age of 35. This represents an opportunity for economic development, but also presents challenges due to the demand for social services and employment. The Human Capital Index (HCI) - a measure of the proportion of full potential children born today can expect to attain by age 18 years - for Zambia is 0.4[2]. Zambia’s HCI is slightly lower than the average for the sub-Saharan African region and lower than the average for lower-middle income countries. As of 2015, 58 percent of Zambians earned less than the international poverty line of $1.90 per day (compared to 41 percent across sub-Saharan Africa). Inequality remains high, with three quarters of those living in poverty being in rural areas. Income inequality, estimated by the Gini coefficient, remains high with a national average of 0.69 for rural areas and 0.61 for urban areas[3]. In 2019, the country continued to face economic challenges that have affected outcomes for children. Debt servicing impacted expenditures especially in the social sectors, with only 38 percent of the national budget disbursed to social sectors in 2019.

    Zambia HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Treatment (ZPCT) Partnership Cooperative Agreement No. 690-A-00-04-00319-00 Quarterly Report for July 1 – September 30, 2008 Submitted by Family Health International (FHI) October 31, 2008 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Zambia HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Treatment Partnership (ZPCT) works with the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Provincial Health Offices (PHOs), and District Health Management Teams (DHMTs) to strengthen and expand HIV/AIDS related services in five provinces: Central, Copperbelt, Luapula, Northern and North Western. ZPCT supports the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) goals of reducing prevalence rates and providing antiretroviral therapy (ART) by implementing technical, program and management strategies to initiate, improve and scale-up prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), counseling and testing (CT) and clinical care services for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA), including ART. This quarter, ZPCT supported implementation of HIV/AIDS services in 220 health facilities in 35 districts in the five target provinces, with 219 of these facilities now reporting results. The health facility in Milenge District in Luapula Province has started services but is not yet reporting. Key activities and achievements for this reporting period include: CT services are ongoing in 218 out of 219 reporting health facilities, with 40,859 individuals receiving CT services in these facilities. PMTCT services were provided in 209 ZPCT supported facilities. 34,783 women were provided with PMTCT services (including CT), and 4254 were provided with a complete course of ARV prophylaxis. Ongoing technical assistance was provided to expand and improve clinical palliative care services in all targeted health facilities.
