The UPND Deputy Media Director Cheelo Katambo says the UPND and President Hakainde Hichilema is on course with its people centred development agenda.
Mr. Katambo says this is evidenced by the just released AFRO BAROMETER report to mark the International day for the eradication of poverty that places Zambia as the highest ranked African country whose efforts aimed at improving people’s living standards are gaining ground.
The report which covers the period between 2021 and 2023 and covers a total of 39 African countries gives Zambia the highest score at 54 percent followed by Tanzania at 51 percent.
The UPND Deputy Media Director says despite inheriting an economy reeling under heavy debt and mismanagement, the UPND led administration has demonstrated an impressive capacity for managing its resources wisely in the face of adversity.
Mr. Katambo has also assured the nation that despite the challenges being faced currently, the Zambian economy shall continue to offer significant opportunities for growth, particularly in sectors like agriculture, mining, and renewable energy because the government’s proactive policy measures are key to ensuring future stability and resilience.
