Highlights | Resource Mobilization Initiative Ideation Session Last week, the ZGF, alongside our partners STAR-Ghana Foundation , West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI) and Tilitonse Foundation , concluded a successful Resource Mobilization Initiative Ideation Sessions. The sessions provided a valuable platform for peer learning, critical reflection and the exchange of innovative ideas on strengthening resource mobilization for locally led development. Through collaborative discussions, participants explored practical strategies to enhance the sustainability and resilience of civil society organizations while advancing localization and community-led solutions. As we move forward, the insights, partnerships and commitments forged during the session will continue to inform our collective efforts to build stronger institutions, unlock local resources and create lasting impact across our communities. Together, we are turning ideas into action for a more sustainable future. #ZGF #ResourceMobilization #Partnerships #CommunityFoundations #Localization #CivilSociety

Heroes' Day reminds us that the future of a nation is built on the courage of those who choose service over self. Today, we honour the men and women whose sacrifices paved the way for Zambia's freedom, dignity and self-determination. Their legacy is not only found in our history books but in the responsibility we all share to build a more just, inclusive and prosperous nation. As we remember our heroes, may we also be inspired to become everyday champions of integrity, active citizenship and community leadership. Through our collective actions, we can continue the work of shaping a Zambia where every community has the opportunity to thrive. Happy Heroes' Day, Zambia.🇿🇲 #HeroesDay #Zambia #CommunityDevelopment #stp #ZGF @topfans

A few weeks after the Entrepreneurship Train Business Pitching Session in Livingstone, the participating youth groups reconvened for a Business Plan Review Workshop. The workshop provided an opportunity for the young entrepreneurs to revisit and refine their business plans based on the feedback and recommendations they received during the pitching session. The workshop formed an important follow-up to the Entrepreneurship Train, ensuring that the pitching process was not a one-off event but part of a continuous journey of learning, mentorship, and enterprise development. By incorporating the recommendations into their business plans, the youth entrepreneurs are better positioned to build sustainable businesses, strengthen their enterprises, and contribute to local economic development and job creation.
