DAY 2 | SOUTHERN AFRICA HUB

30 years of SDI. 30 years of learning from one another.

Today marks the start of the Southern Africa Hub Meeting, bringing together Slum Dwellers International (SDI) affiliates and partners from Botswana, Eswatini, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, with Zambia proudly serving as host.

Over the coming days, federations, youth representatives, savings and UPF leads, the SDI Secretariat, and key stakeholders will come together to **reflect, learn, share experiences and strengthen community-led development across Southern Africa.

The Hub provides an important space to take stock of progress, identify common challenges, share innovative approaches, and agree on practical actions around resource mobilisation, savings and UPF, housing, youth movement building, climate action and regional exchanges.

Beyond sharing experiences, the meeting is about turning lessons into action strengthening federations, amplifying the voices of communities and young people, and building more inclusive, resilient and sustainable cities.

As Zambia hosts this important regional gathering, we look forward to meaningful conversations, peer learning, stronger partnerships and collective action towards a stronger Southern African federation movement.

Together, we learn. Together, we organise. Together, we build resilient communities.

๐Ÿ“Š From Data Collectors to Evidence Champions!

As part of our efforts under the impact Innovation Initiative, 40 Knowledge Entrepreneurs from five settlements in Kafue have strengthened their practical skills in Microsoft Excel, including data cleaning, basic formulas, descriptive statistics, tables and charts. They can now transform community data into clear evidence to support advocacy, engage decision-makers and promote locally led solutions.

Beyond advocacy, these skills can support their livelihoods through data-entry opportunities, business record management, budgeting, and tracking income and expenses.

When communities understand their data, they are better positioned to influence change and create opportunities.

LOCAL SOLUTIONS, STRONGER COMMUNITIES!

PPHPZ is currently implementing community advocacy events and practical public forums in Kawama Settlement, Kitwe, and Kalulushi, creating spaces for slum dwellers to amplify their voices and champion locally led solutions.

At Kawamaโ€™s recently established communal garden, residents are gaining hands-on experience in nature-based solutions, including fruit-tree grafting and sack gardening. These practical approaches promote household food security, greener settlements and stronger resilience to the impacts of climate change.

Together, communities are turning local knowledge into climate action!

We are proud to announce that People's Process on Housing and Poverty in Zambia (PPHPZ), working hand in hand with the Zambia Homeless and Poor People's Federation, has been appointed to the Steering Committee for the Just and Climate-Resilient Urbanization and Decentralization in Zambia (Citizen+D) Programme.

This appointment is a recognition of the Federation's long-standing leadership in community-led urban development, climate resilience, and inclusive governance, as well as PPHPZ's commitment to supporting communities in shaping sustainable cities.

The programme, implemented by the Government of Zambia with support from GIZ, seeks to promote just and climate-resilient urbanization in informal settlements within the broader decentralization framework. It is being implemented in selected local authorities across Lusaka Province, Southern Province (Mazabuka, Choma and Livingstone), and Luapula Province (Mansa and Samfya).

The programme focuses on:
โœ… Strengthening municipal coordination, planning and implementation for climate-resilient urban development.
โœ… Enhancing the financial capacity of municipalities for sustainable urban development.
โœ… Promoting meaningful collaboration with civil society, particularly women, and strengthening dialogue across national, regional and local levels to advance evidence-based urban governance.

As members of the Steering Committee, PPHPZ and the Zambia Homeless and Poor People's Federation will contribute community perspectives and practical experiences to help review programme progress, strengthen stakeholder coordination, address implementation challenges, and ensure local voices inform national urban development policies.

We are honoured to represent organized communities on this important platform and remain committed to building inclusive, resilient, and sustainable cities where no one is left behind.

COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION IN BAULENI

On 20/07/2026 we interacted with Galamukani women from Bauleni to raise awareness on the upcoming Bauleni Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan project. Under the project, PPHPZ and ZHPPF with support from GIZ will join hands with Bauleni community, Lusaka City Council and the Lusaka Integrated Solid Waste Management Company and other stakeholders to develop a plan to guide solid waste management in the settlement. As per our ritual, we took this opportunity to mobilise the women to join the federation. There's always room for one more member in the federation ๐Ÿ˜Š. Slum Dwellers International - SDI.
