Scaling Up Maternal Healthcare Excellence.

Currently underway! We are supporting an intensive 10-day training on Long-Acting Reversible Contraception bringing together frontline health professionals to strengthen access to quality, positive maternal health outcomes.

What happens when you bridge the gap between faith and science to tackle a nation's toughest social challenges such as ?

In Zambia, UNFPA Zambia is partnering with diverse faith leaders to drive real, lasting community progress. By meeting people where their trust already lies.

Here is a snapshot of how these UNFPA-supported initiatives are making an impact:

Collaboration: Uniting religious leaders from diverse backgrounds to deliver consistent, unified messages on community well-being.

: Equipping clergy with "model sermons" to advocate for children's rights, backed by a massive network supporting 98 schools and 72 health centers.

: Training faith leaders to provide safe, confidential counseling and health referrals for young people.

: Launching a 13-part radio series to integrate scientific public health perspectives into community faith dialogues.

: Promoting women’s meaningful participation in leadership and advocating for peace during electoral processes.

When faith, science, and human rights align, sustainable progress follows.
