Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: A, ( Atlantic International University ) (School of Business and Economics), course: Project Planning and Management, language: English, abstract: The paper provides a critical analysis of a social development project in Zambia in terms of its sustainability after the cessation of donor or local financial support. Specifically, the paper focuses on the challenges experienced in the implementation of such a project and the measures devised for its sustainability. The Zambia Social Investment Fund (ZAMSIF) development project regarded as an all- embracing project with coverage of almost every aspect of a full –fledged social development project is used as the case study. The study underscores a number of significant achievements of the ZAMSIF project, suggestive of the project’s effectiveness as one single largest poverty reduction programme in Zambia. The project implementation process embraces upward and downward accountability with direct ownership and resource cost contribution into the project by most of the communities for effective implementation and sustainability. Some of the challenges encountered in the implementation process are elucidated in the paper.

Book excerpt: The Zambia Social Investment Fund (ZAMSIF) is part of a two phase program (over 10 years) intended to support two of the objectives outlined in the Government of Zambia's (GRZ) National Poverty Reduction Strategic Framework & Action Plan (1999-2004). The specific project objectives were to (i) achieve sustainable improved availability and use of quality basic social services by beneficiary communities and specific vulnerable groups; (ii) contribute to the building of capacity for improved local governance; and (iii) strengthen the capacity to provide timely information on poverty and social conditions and facilitate its use in policy making.

Download or read book Perceptions from governance committees on how fully furnished community run mother s shelters in rural Zambia could be sustained written by Misheck Bwalya and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, , language: English, abstract: Recently, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to guide member countries and development agencies in tackling poverty, inequality and injustice making the sustainability of Projects and Programs a critical point of discussion within the development community. With declining levels of global aid, donors of programs in public health and community development are increasingly concerned about the sustainability of changes they initiate. Zambia like many other African countries has received a substantial amount of aid. However, one of the most critical obstacles is the extent to which aid-supported projects continue after donor exit.This was an explorative research study into sustainability determinants of fully furnished community run Mothers’ Shelters in Siachitema, Kanchele, Simakutu and Masuku rural health facilities in Choma and Kalomo Districts of Zambia. It sought to establish the role of governance committees in the sustainability of the Mothers’ shelters and their perception of sustainability compared to project plans. Secondary data collected through In-depth Interviews (IDI) using a semi structured interview guide was analysed using NVIVO 12 to cluster emerging themes and sub-themes from the data. A total of 14 in-depth interviews (IDI) were analysed. The study adopted a subjectivist ontological viewpoint and an interpretivist epistemological outlook. It was predicated on the theories of participation and empowerment. The research established five (5) major sustainability determinants of fully-furnished community run Mothers’ shelters as: financial resources, community support and participation, community empowerment, leadership and good governance and mainstreaming of Mothers’ shelter activities into Ministry of Health strategy, policy and systems. The study also established that sustainability of Mothers’ shelters was at three levels namely financial sustainability; institutional/organizational sustainability; and programmatic sustainability.The study concluded that appropriate policy or legislation, sufficient institutional support, sustainable financing mechanisms, effective management systems and technical backstopping will led to sustainability of fully furnished Mother’s Shelters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zambia, the butterfly-shaped, central African country has a population of about 11 million people, and as other Sub-Saharan African countries, has been trying to democratize since the early 1990s. Clearly, though, the promise of political reform did not fulfill the expectations of the public, and with about 60 percent of the population living below the poverty line, many Zambians are no longer confident that more open political systems can improve their lives. But the problem may not be inherent in the political process itself, and could be found more in the apparent disconnection between people’s needs and the way the country’s affairs are run. It is with respect to these and related issues that this book emphasizes the crucial relationship between education and political participation, and specifically highlights citizenship education as essential for Zambia’s social development. Social development, which should comprise, inter alia, the economic, political, and cultural wellbeing of societies can be enhanced by citizenship education, which focuses on elevating people’s understanding of their rights and responsibilities vis-à -vis government institutions, structures and functions. Indeed, it is the centrality of the political component in people’s lives, especially its relationship with public policy and public programs that should underline the important role of citizenship education. In describing these issues, the book analyzes the role of the media, women’s groups and youth in enhancing the political, educational, and by extension, the economic lives of the Zambian people. The book should interest students and scholars of Zambian (as well as African) education, politics, and social development. It should also be useful for policy makers, institutional managers and both public and para-public leaders in Zambia and elsewhere in the continent.

This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study is to explore the distributional impacts on poverty and income of two programmes in Zambia, the Home Grown School Feeding (HGSF) programme and the Conservation Agriculture Scale-Up (CASU) project, complementing the impact evaluation findings by Prifti & Grinspun (2019). These programmes target different parts of the population but are partly overlapping; they aim to influence poverty and food security through different channels. In the World Food Programme (WFP)’s HGSF modality, school feeding or provision of free meals for schoolchildren is complemented with procurement of food used for the meals from local smallholders. The purchase scheme aims to provide market access for smallholders, hence improving income stability and incentives to invest, ultimately increasing their productivity and reducing poverty. The objectives of school meals alone are improvement in schoolchildren’s nutrition as well as improvement in school attendance and hence human capital accumulation. Conservation agriculture (CA) consists of production methods that reduce farmers’ vulnerability to climate risks and improve productivity. The CASU programme promoted the use of such methods among smallholders through training and demonstration and provision of inputs, aiming for adoption of more sustainable farming which increases farm productivity in the long run.
