Livestock plays an important role in the lives of many families in Mongu and Limulunga, supporting livelihoods and food security. Challenges such as animal disease, pressure on grazing land, and limited access to technical knowledge can affect livestock productivity and resilience.

Through the Enhancing Livelihood Opportunities through Ecosystem Protection project, implemented with WWF Zambia and funded by Jersey Overseas Aid , we are working with local communities to strengthen sustainable livestock management.

In October 2025, 17 livestock farmers from five rangeland management committees, together with government livestock extension officers, completed a two-week Training of Trainers programme at the Natural Resources Development College in Lusaka. The training covered breed selection, breeding management, animal health, disease control, and sustainable rangeland management.

This year, those trained participants shared their knowledge with 250 local livestock farmers across Mongu and Limulunga districts, helping expand access to practical livestock management skills through peer-to-peer learning.

Alongside these activities, more than 20,000 cattle have been treated with Amitraz 12.5% to help prevent tick-borne diseases, supporting healthier herds and improved livestock productivity.

The project demonstrates how community-led approaches can strengthen livestock management while supporting sustainable use of natural resources.

Strong organisations don't just happen. They are built.

Behind every successful community project, advocacy campaign, or development initiative are the systems that help organisations plan, learn, grow, and deliver impact.

That is why Civil Society Now (CSN) exists.

CSN is a digital platform designed to enhance the capacity of civil society organisations through practical tools, learning resources, templates, webinars, and expert guidance. Whether you're looking to improve financial management, strengthen safeguarding systems, or design stronger programmes, CSN offers resources to help your organisation grow and thrive.

For civil society organisations in Zambia, participating in the Local Empowerment and Development – Civil Society (CSO LEADs) Project, membership to CSN provides additional pathway for continuous learning, networking, and institutional development.

And the good news is you don't need to be a CSN member to start accessing resources. CSN maintains a growing library of free, open-access resources that any organisation can use to improve its internal systems, strengthen capacity, and support long-term sustainability.

For example, you can see our featured Resource: Strengthening Recruitment Practices

Stronger organisations are better equipped to sustain their work and support long-term outcomes in their communities.

Strengthening Early Warning Systems for Early Action in Zambia

A new partnership between People in Need Zambia (PIN) and the National Disaster Risk Management Division (NDRMD) marks an important step towards strengthening disaster preparedness and early warning systems in Zambia.

Through a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), both institutions will collaborate on the pilot implementation of an Early Warning System (EWS) in Western Province, helping strengthen the connection between risk information, community preparedness, and anticipatory action.

Early warning systems are not only about monitoring hazards. Their value lies in ensuring that information reaches communities in ways that are timely, understandable, and actionable, giving people the opportunity to protect lives, livelihoods, assets, and essential infrastructure before disasters occur.

The pilot will bring together government institutions, local authorities, traditional leaders, and community structures to strengthen flood preparedness and generate practical lessons that can support broader disaster risk management efforts in Zambia.

It also contributes to Zambia's commitment under the Early Warnings for All agenda, helping ensure that vulnerable and at-risk communities have access to the information they need to prepare for and respond to hazards.

As climate-related risks continue to affect communities across the country, strengthening the systems that connect early warning information with early action will become increasingly important for building resilience.

Corridor Voices MoU Signings Across Angola, the DRC and Zambia

A major milestone for the Corridor Voices Initiative: civil society organisations across Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Zambia have formally signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), marking a new phase of structured, cross-border collaboration along the Lobito Corridor.

In Zambia, 14 civil society organisations signed the MoU in Lusaka, establishing a coordinated platform for community participation, evidence generation and inclusive dialogue on investments taking place along the corridor.

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, five civil society organisations that are members of the Corridor Voices Steering Committee signed the MoU in Lubumbashi, alongside consultations and participation in DRC Mining Week, reinforcing partnerships with civil society, local authorities and the private sector.

In Angola, six civil society organisations across five provinces — Bié, Luanda, Huambo, Huíla and Benguela — signed on as founding members following a series of consultations to identify shared priorities and opportunities for cooperation.

Together, these agreements bring civil society organisations across all three Corridor countries into a shared framework, working alongside communities, governments and the private sector to help ensure that the Lobito Corridor's growth translates into meaningful local benefits.

Civil society participation is not only important for inclusive development. It can also help create a more predictable and lower-risk investment environment. By connecting investors with community perspectives, local knowledge and early feedback on social and environmental concerns, Corridor Voices can help identify risks before they escalate, strengthen ESG and safeguards compliance, and build trust between companies and communities. At the same time, stronger local engagement can help identify local suppliers, skills and economic opportunities, supporting the social license and local partnerships needed for sustainable long-term investment.

As the Corridor moves forward, Corridor Voices continues to grow as a mechanism through which communities and civil society can help shape what that development looks like.

On World Humanitarian Day, we recognise the humanitarian workers, community volunteers, health workers, local partners, and frontline responders who continue to support people through crises around the world and here in Zambia.

This year's theme comes at a sobering moment for the humanitarian community. Globally, 350 humanitarian workers were killed in the past year alone, with the vast majority being national staff serving their own communities.

These are not just statistics. Behind every number is a colleague, a family, a friend, and a community that feels the impact.

Across Zambia, humanitarian action relies on people who work closest to communities. From volunteers supporting vulnerable families, to health workers strengthening preparedness, to local organisations and national staff responding to droughts and other shocks, their efforts help ensure support reaches those who need it most.

Today, we honour their dedication and stand in solidarity with humanitarian workers everywhere.

❤️‍🩹Humanitarian workers stand up for humanity every day. Now it is our turn to .

“If we continue planting sorghum, poverty would not prevail.”

For Lydia Nastiwitwi Muimui, a farmer from Lukulo in Mongu District, those are not just words, they are a reflection of what she has seen in her own field.

After receiving training in sorghum production, Lydia planted a red sorghum variety that is better suited to changing seasons and challenging growing conditions.
Today, she is seeing how the crop can provide both food and income for her family.

What excites Lydia most is not only what sorghum can do for her household, but what it could mean for her community. More farmers are showing interest in the crop after seeing its performance in the field, particularly its ability to grow well despite climate challenges.

Through the Enhancing Livelihood Opportunities through Ecosystem Protection in the Barotse Floodplains Project, 150 farmers across Lukulo, Mbuta, and Nakanyaa have been trained in sorghum production, helping communities strengthen food security while exploring new livelihood opportunities.

Watch Lydia share her experience and hear why she believes sorghum could play an important role in the future of farming across the Barotse Floodplains.

When malnutrition is identified early, children and mothers can be connected to the care they need sooner.

In Sikongo and Shangombo districts, People in Need, through the Integrated Action for Mitigating the Effects of Climate Change on the Most Vulnerable Communities in Zambia (AIM Zambia) Project, and health partners integrated malnutrition screening into Zambia’s National Oral Polio Vaccination Campaign, bringing screening closer to households and helping ensure that no vulnerable child or mother is left behind.

Over three days, Community-Based Volunteers (CBVs) and health workers screened 41,915 people, including:
• 36,422 children under five
• 16,739 boys
• 19,683 girls
• 5,494 pregnant and breastfeeding women

Those showing signs of malnutrition were referred to health facilities for further assessment and treatment where needed.

By bringing screening closer to households and integrating it with an existing community health campaign, the teams were able to reach more families, strengthen referrals, and help ensure vulnerable children and mothers are not missed.

This work is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS).

Every harvest begins with a farmer. 🌾

Behind every meal is a season of planning, labour, and adaptation.

From preparing the land to selecting crops and managing natural resources, farmers contribute to the wellbeing of communities and local economies.

This Farmers’ Day, we recognise the role of farmers across Zambia. Their work supports food production, livelihoods, and resilience in the face of changing conditions.

At People in Need Zambia, we work alongside farming communities as they adopt climate-smart practices, strengthen livelihoods, and support sustainable natural resource management.

Happy Farmers’ Day to farmers across Zambia.
