This project empowers marginalized youth, women, and people living with disabilities in rural communities across Copperbelt, Luapula, and Northwestern Provinces by strengthening their participation in governance and policy decision-making.
Many young people face barriers such as geographical isolation, limited economic opportunities, and lack of platforms to influence policies affecting their lives. Through leadership and advocacy training, youth-led advocacy hubs, policy dialogue sessions, and community awareness campaigns, the project equips youth with the skills and networks needed to engage with local authorities.
The initiative promotes collaboration between youth, policymakers, and community leaders to support inclusive governance and youth-friendly policies that improve livelihoods in rural Zambia.
Future-Preneurs Zambia (FPSZ) in partnership with Mufulira Municipal Council is implementing a civic education initiative to strengthen transparency, participation, and accountability in the use of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
Many citizens in Kankoyo, Kantanshi, and Mufulira Central have limited access to clear information about how CDF works. FPSZ is addressing this by simplifying and translating CDF guidelines into Bemba and conducting community engagement activities.
Through community meetings, roadshows, and simplified materials, the project empowers citizens—especially women and youth—to actively participate in planning and monitoring local development projects funded through CDF.
This initiative promotes sustainable livelihoods for women and young people through savings groups, entrepreneurship training, and access to small business opportunities.
The program helps participants develop financial literacy, improve household income, and strengthen community resilience through locally driven economic activities.
