The Zambian Youth Platform (ZYP) whose vision seeks to see a “Zambia where young people are empowered and fully participate in social, economic and political development” was established in the year 2015 as a nonpartisan platform for youth leaders, youths and youth workers.

The Six (6) months Project which seeks to implement a youth friendly Social Accountability Framework to monitor and feedback successes and challenges related to services delivered under the Global Fund investments will be funded by GIZ Back-Up Health will be funded by GIZ Back-Up Health. Further, the projects will leverage the findings of Community Based Monitoring to influence national strategies and policies around the health, rights and needs of adolescents and young people. The Accountability Framework emphasises a spirit of community understanding and ownership of national programming. Unpacking personal perceptions and experience will contribute to better collaboration and partnership between communities and program implementers, leading to a more inclusive model of country ownership of national programs.
The Accountability Framework is to gather qualitative evidence (with support from the CCM and PRs) to inform implementers on the quality of programs, ensuring that interventions continue to be relevant and to support young people’s leadership for advocacy, meaningful participation and accountability. It uses simple language and available techniques that support young people in communities to monitor and feedback successes and challenges on program delivery implemented by Principle Recipients (PRs) and Sub Recipients (SRs), who report to the CCM on Global Fund interventions. The framework also supports young people already engaged to collect qualitative rights-based data to monitor the Global Fund’s role across Zambia. This would support the quantitative data collected to measure progress around young people and AGYW.
