📢 GOVERNANCE IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT!

Many times, we complain about projects being implemented in our wards and constituencies that do not reflect our priorities. We question decisions made by local authorities and even laws passed by Parliament. But have we taken the time to participate in the processes that shape those decisions?

At Young People for Positive Change Zambia, we believe that effective governance and sustainable development can only be achieved when citizens are actively involved. After all, there should be nothing for the people without the people.

As citizens, let us reflect:

✅ Do we attend community meetings when development issues are being discussed?

✅ Do we engage our elected leaders and share our concerns and aspirations?

✅ Do we understand the roles and responsibilities of our Councillors, Members of Parliament, and other leaders?

✅ Do we hold our leaders accountable for the decisions they make on our behalf?

Democracy does not begin and end on voting day. It is a continuous process that requires active citizen participation, engagement, and accountability.

The quality of development in our communities depends not only on our leaders but also on our willingness to get involved. When citizens participate, projects become more responsive to community needs, public resources are used more effectively, and leaders become more accountable.

🗣️ Your voice matters.
🤝 Your participation matters.
🏘️ Your community needs you.

Let's build a culture of active citizenship and people-centered development.

📚🇿🇲 CIVIC EDUCATION SERIES – EPISODE 3
🔍 Understanding the Role of a Member of Parliament (MP)

As campaigns begin, many candidates will visit communities, markets, homes, churches, radio stations, and social media platforms asking for your vote.

But remember — your vote is powerful.
Vote for someone you know, understand, trust, and can hold accountable.

One major problem during elections is that many citizens are misled by promises that are beyond the actual responsibilities of the office being contested for. That is why civic education is important.

So, what exactly does a Member of Parliament (MP) do?

✅ Makes laws in Parliament
✅ Represents the people of the constituency
✅ Raises community concerns in Parliament
✅ Provides oversight on government ministries and agencies
✅ Participates in the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Committee
✅ Advocates for development in the constituency

⚠️ IMPORTANT TO KNOW:

❌ MPs do not directly implement development projects.
❌ MPs do not directly create jobs.

However, they can advocate for development, investment, empowerment opportunities, and better services for their people.

An informed voter is a powerful citizen. Understanding leadership roles helps us make better decisions and hold leaders accountable after elections.

📌 Civic education is key to strengthening democracy.

CIVIC EDUCATION SERIES

As the election campaign period begins, many aspiring candidates will be visiting communities — in markets, going door to door, appearing on radio and television, and engaging citizens on social media and other platforms — all seeking your support.

Remember that your vote is powerful. It determines who will represent you and make decisions that affect your community. Because of this, it is important to vote for someone you know, someone you trust, and someone you will be able to hold accountable after the elections.

For citizens to participate effectively in elections, it is important to understand the roles and responsibilities of the office a candidate is contesting for. This helps voters avoid being misled by promises that fall outside what an office holder is legally mandated to do.

It is for this reason that Young People for Positive Change Zambia is bringing you a Civic Education Series aimed at helping citizens understand the roles of elected leaders so that they can make informed decisions.

Episode 2: Understanding the Role of a Mayor / Council Chairperson

A Mayor (for cities and municipalities) or a Council Chairperson (for district councils) is the political head of the local authority (council). Their main responsibility is to provide leadership to the council and help guide development in the district, municipality, or city.

Key Roles

• Providing political leadership to the council.

• Presiding over council meetings where decisions on local development and services are made.

• Representing the council at official functions and engagements with stakeholders.

• Promoting development and investment in the district, municipality, or city.

• Working with councillors to ensure development priorities from different wards are included in council plans.

Important to Know

• The Mayor or Council Chairperson does not run the day-to-day operations of the council. This is done by the Town Clerk or Council Secretary, who manages the administration of the local authority.

• The Mayor or Council Chairperson is not part of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) Committee.

• They also do not control national government ministries or national budgets.

An informed citizen makes better choices.

Empowering Youths, Building Stronger Communities.

As the election campaign period begins, many aspiring candidates will be visiting communities in markets, going door to door, appearing on radio and television, and engaging citizens on social media and other platforms all seeking your support.

Remember that your vote is powerful. It determines who will represent you and make decisions that affect your community. Because of this, it is important to vote for someone you know, someone you trust, and someone you will be able to hold accountable after the elections.

For citizens to participate effectively in elections, it is important to understand the roles and responsibilities of the office a candidate is contesting for. This helps voters avoid being misled by promises that fall outside what an office holder is legally mandated to do.

It is for this reason that Young People for Positive Change Zambia is bringing you a Civic Education Series aimed at helping citizens better understand the roles and responsibilities of elected leaders so that they can make informed decisions.

Episode 1: Understanding the Role of a Councillor

A Councillor is an elected representative of a ward in a local authority (council). Their primary role is to represent the interests and concerns of the people in their ward and ensure that community priorities are considered in council decisions.

Some of the key roles of a Councillor include:

(i) Representing the views, concerns, and development needs of residents in their ward.
(ii) Participating in council meetings where decisions about local development and service delivery are made.
(iii) Monitoring the use of council resources and projects within their ward.
(iv) Engaging with the community to identify development priorities.
(v) Working with the local authority to improve services such as roads, sanitation, markets, waste management, and street lighting.
(vi) Through the Ward Development Committee (WDC), Councillors provide a forum for dialogue, coordination, and community participation on ward development issues.

It is important to note that a Councillor does not run government ministries and does not control national government resources, but works within the local authority to ensure that the needs of the ward are included in council plans and budgets.

As a voter, ask yourself:

• Does this candidate understand the role they are aspiring for?
• Are the promises they are making within the responsibilities of a Councillor?
• Will this person be accessible and accountable to the people of the ward?

An informed citizen makes better choices.

Young People for Positive Change Zambia remains committed to empowering citizens with knowledge so that together we can build stronger communities and promote accountable leadership.

📢 CALL FOR SUPPORT – YOUNG PEOPLE FOR POSITIVE CHANGE ZAMBIA (YPFPC Zambia)

Over the past years, Young People for Positive Change Zambia (YPFPC Zambia) has appeared on various radio and television platforms sharing our vision of empowering young people to become responsible citizens and agents of positive change in our communities. The response from the public has always been encouraging.

In addition, stakeholders we have interacted with and communities we have reached through our outreaches have consistently given us positive feedback, appreciating the organisation’s efforts in promoting responsible behaviour, positive values, and youth participation in community development.

As an organisation, we have many programmes and initiatives that we intend to implement across the communities where we operate. These include community and school outreach programmes, youth mentorship initiatives, awareness campaigns, and leadership engagement platforms aimed at empowering young people to make well-informed decisions and contribute meaningfully to society.

However, like many community-driven organisations, we face limitations due to inadequate resources. For our programmes and activities to run effectively, we require support for logistics, outreach activities, communication platforms, and the motivation of our committed volunteers who dedicate their time to serving communities.

🙏 It is for this reason that we are launching an online call for support and donations to Young People for Positive Change Zambia.

Your contributions will enable us to accelerate and multiply our community and school outreach programmes, expand our impact, and strengthen programmes under our key thematic areas:

• Health
• Education and Leadership Development
• Human and Child Rights Protection
• Empowerment and Skills Development
• Environmental Justice
• Governance and Civic Participation

The support will also help us increase our radio programme engagements, produce more educational and advocacy videos, and amplify our message of positive change to reach many more young people and communities.

Your support will therefore play a critical role in helping us build responsible, empowered, and socially conscious young people who contribute to the development of their communities.

No contribution is too small. Support can be in the form of monetary donations or material assistance.

PRESS STATEMENT
For Immediate Release

Political Parties Urged to Adopt Credible Candidates Who Will Put Zambia First

As the country approaches the dissolution of Parliament ahead of this year’s elections, Young People for Positive Change Zambia (YPFPC) wishes to call upon all political parties to exercise responsibility and integrity in the adoption of candidates who will represent the people at various levels of leadership.

The period leading to elections is a critical moment for our democracy. It is during this time that political parties make decisions that will ultimately determine the quality of leadership in local authorities and in the National Assembly. We therefore urge political parties to prioritize the adoption of candidates with credible leadership, integrity, and a genuine commitment to public service.

Leadership is not merely about being popular or financially capable of running a campaign. While being well known in a community may have its advantages, it should not be the only consideration. What matters most is character, competence, and the ability to put the interests of the nation above personal or partisan considerations.

Young People for Positive Change Zambia strongly encourages political parties to adopt candidates who will put Zambia first. Whether they are representing their wards in council chambers or their constituencies in the National Assembly, their primary duty must be to serve the people and advance national development.

Political parties must also ensure that adopted candidates are individuals who have demonstrated commitment to community development and who understand the challenges faced by ordinary citizens.

As a youth-led organization that believes in responsible leadership and accountable governance, we remain hopeful that political parties will rise above narrow interests and adopt candidates who reflect the aspirations, values, and hopes of the Zambian people.

Zambia’s future depends on the quality of leadership we choose today.

Governance, Democracy and Citizen Participation

At Young People for Positive Change Zambia (YPFPC Zambia), we believe that governance is the relationship that exists between the state, state actors, non-state actors, and citizens. For governance to function effectively, there must be a strong connection among all these stakeholders built on accountability, transparency, and participation.

We also define democracy as the rule of the people, by the people, and for the people. The word people appears three times in this definition, clearly emphasizing that at every stage of governance, citizens must be involved. It reminds us that there should be nothing for the people without the people.

Citizen participation in matters of governance, democracy, and the protection of human rights is therefore extremely important. When citizens actively engage, they strengthen democratic institutions, promote accountability, and ensure that policies and development programs respond to the real needs and aspirations of the people.

Young People for Positive Change Zambia remains committed to promoting youth and community participation in governance processes, civic engagement, and human rights protection in order to build stronger and more inclusive communities.

📣 Get Involved!
If you are interested in matters of governance and civic participation, we invite you to join, support, partner with, or sponsor Young People for Positive Change Zambia so that together we can promote positive change in our communities.
