The resettlement scheme under the Vice President’s office in Zambia has received a major boost through the provision of advanced digital infrastructure and intelligence equipment. This initiative, generously supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the World Food Programme (WFP), and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), marks a significant milestone in improving service delivery and community engagement nationwide.
The investment is set to enhance the Digital Information Management and Tracking System, enabling stronger linkages between government agencies and local communities. By integrating modern digital tools, the scheme will improve efficiency, accountability, and access to vital information, particularly in refugee settlements and marginalized rural areas.
The equipment will be distributed across all resettlement schemes in the country, ensuring that every community benefits from improved connectivity and information sharing. This development is expected to streamline operations, enhance monitoring, and provide timely data to support decision-making at all levels.
This achievement reflects a well-coordinated partnership between UNDP, WFP, and JICA, demonstrating a shared commitment to empowering vulnerable populations. The collaboration underscores the importance of international support in building resilient communities and promoting inclusive development.
Vice President Dr. W.K Mutale-Nalumango emphasized that this initiative lays the foundation for a digitally empowered society, ensuring that no one is left behind. The strengthened resettlement scheme will serve as a model for integrating technology into public service delivery, fostering transparency, and enhancing community participation across Zambia.
The digital infrastructure initiative positions Zambia as a forward-looking nation in leveraging technology for social development, reinforcing the country’s commitment to improving the lives of its citizens through innovative, inclusive solutions.
