Government says it is committed to improving livelihoods and promoting climate resilience in Northern Province.

Northern Province Assistant Secretary, Jordan Mwenya says this is being done through working with partners such as the Community Climate Solutions Zambia limited, an organization dedicated to empowering local communities in addressing climate change through sustainable practices and innovative solutions. 

Speaking during the handover of calves to communities in Chinakila area, Mr Mwenya revealed that last year, the Community Climate Solutions Zambia delivered cattle to communities of Chinakila and Chitimbwa areas which have produced 19 calves which are being passed on to community members.

“These animals are more than a resource, they present a source of income, a symbol of hope and a testament to our collective efforts to combat climate change and they also embody the spirit of resilience and determination that defines our communities,” he said.

And Community Climate Solutions Zambia limited Chief Executive Officer, James Mwanza thanked government for creating an enabling environment for the organization to take part in improving the living conditions of the people in Chitimbwa and Chinakila areas of Mpulungu District.
