On 24th February 2026, the Network on Ending Child Marriage in Zambia (NECMZ) participated in the Gender Division’s Orientation on the National Strategy to End Child Marriage (2026–2030) and its Monitoring and Evaluation Framework.
As a Network of 67 member organisations, we remain committed to ensuring that this consolidated national roadmap translates into real, measurable change for girls across Zambia.
The Strategy aligns prevention, protection, coordination, and accountability efforts across sectors and the M&E Framework strengthens the systems that track progress and close gaps.
We commend the Gender Division - GD for its leadership in convening stakeholders and coordinating national action.
We also appreciate our 67 members for their sustained advocacy at community and national levels.
And to our all-weather partners Unicef Zambia and UNFPA Zambia , we thank you for helping us strengthening systems that protect girls and advance their rights.
Now, the focus is clear. We will implement, be accountable and produce results.
Ending child marriage requires collective action and we move forward together.
