INSIGHTS, EXPERIENCES, STORIES - ZAMBIA

" Through the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme, in partnership with UNDP Zambia, women miners are being supported to formalise their activities, form cooperatives, and access skills and technologies that improve livelihoods. By promoting formalisation and practical training, the Programme is enabling women to work more productively, create jobs, and expand opportunities for women in the mining sector across Zambia. " 
Thelma Nkowani

Vice Chairperson of the Women in the Extractive Industry Trade and Value Addition Association of Zambia (WETVAAZ)

" The ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme, implemented in partnership with UNDP, is transforming the mining sector by empowering women and youth, creating jobs, and increasing incomes at community level. By linking mineral development to the green economy and the SDGs, the Programme is contributing to Agenda 2030 and supporting the global green transition."
