Plan International has worked in Zambia since 1996 and currently working in over 46 communities. It has its Country Office in Lusaka and Program Area Offices (PAs) in Central, Luapula and Eastern Provinces.
The organization is guided by a Country Strategy (CS) 2022 – 2026, which outlines Plan International Zambia’s programmatic ambitions with a specific focus on SOYEE, IQE, SRHR and ECD. Gender, child protection, influencing, and climate change remain cross cutting issues. The CS has a specific focus vulnerable and excluded children particularly adolescent girls, as they are often the most marginalized and most often left behind.
Plan International Zambia aims to be perceived as the Go-to organization for girls’ rights in the country. In order to achieve the goal, Plan International Zambia through the Eastern Program Area established Sponsorship Communities in Chadiza and Vubwi Districts, whilst building long lasting relationships with Sponsorship Participants.

BACKGROUND

In the recent past, Chadiza and Vubwi Districts and the entire province have been plagued by persistent extreme poverty and hunger due to negative climate change effects. Owing to the delayed start of the rainy season and insufficient rainfall, the 2023/2024 rainfall season was characterized by late onset, prolonged dry spells, and high temperatures. This erratic rainfall pattern affected crop and animal production leaving over six million people in urgent & dire need of food assistance which was immediately and urgently declared as National Disaster by His Excellence the Republican President on the 29th of February 2024. He made a humanitarian appeal for assistance from varied local & international development organizations.
However, in order to respond to the crisis and provide relief food to the drought prone and affected families in the sponsorship communities, Plan International Zambia through the SPAD known as Integrated Early Childhood Development and Humanitarian Response will procure food suppliers to address the hunger crisis and prevent starvation of the people. Besides, the prolonged period of hunger has resulted in malnutrition especially in children and pregnant women. Girls have also resorted to transactional sex as a coping mechanism which has resulted into the increasing numbers of Teen Pregnancies and Child Marriages in districts.
