PROGRAM

Advocacy and inclusive development

We believe in sustainable growth through inclusive policies and social empowerment, with a focus on advocating for fair policies and amplifying marginalized groups’ voices to effect long-term change.

At A Chance for Change Foundation, we believe that sustainable development is not only about addressing immediate needs, but also about creating long-lasting change through inclusive policies, community empowerment, and active engagement with marginalized groups. Our Advocacy & Inclusive Development efforts focus on advocating for equitable policies, empowering underserved communities, and amplifying the voices of those often left behind.

Our Approach

We work towards a society where everyone, regardless of gender, age, or socioeconomic status, has access to opportunities that enable them to thrive. Through promoting inclusive policies and supporting community-led development, we aim to build a more just, resilient, and sustainable future.

Advocating for Policy Change

Our advocacy work is centered around influencing public policy to ensure that marginalized groups; especially women, youth, and smallholder farmers are included in national development agendas. We believe that systemic change at the policy level is essential to address the root causes of poverty.

Key Initiatives

Promoting Gender Equality and Youth Empowerment

Through advocacy campaigns, we raise awareness of the critical roles women and youth play in economic development and agriculture. We actively engage with policymakers to ensure that policies reflect the realities and needs of these groups, pushing for reforms that support gender equality, youth participation, and access to economic opportunities.

Removing Barriers for Smallholder Farmers

Smallholder farmers face numerous challenges, including limited access to credit, markets, and training. We work with policymakers to reduce these barriers by advocating for better access to financial services, fair trade policies, and support for sustainable agricultural practices.

Empowering Communities through Advocacy

We are committed to engaging local communities in decision-making processes. We believe that for development to be truly sustainable, it must be led by the people it seeks to benefit. Through empowering communities to take ownership of their development, we ensure that solutions are both locally relevant and widely accepted.

Collaborating with Civil Society and Partners

Collaboration is key to advancing inclusive development. We partner with civil society organizations, international agencies, and other stakeholders to advocate for shared goals and maximize impact. Through these partnerships, we strengthen our collective ability to bring about positive change in Zambia and beyond.

Engaging Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

We encourage businesses to align their CSR strategies with our advocacy efforts, particularly in areas like gender equality, climate resilience, and community empowerment. Through these partnerships, we advocate for more socially responsible investments that contribute to the well-being of marginalized communities.
