At Twangale Resort and Spa, the ZGF team came together for a quarterly review meeting focused on reflecting, realigning and strengthening our impact. Moments like these remind us that growth comes from honest reflection, shared learning and a renewed commitment to the communities we serve. Here’s to greater impact ahead with Zambian Governance Foundation. 💙

Today, ZGF, Nyankanga Community Foundation and Plan International came together for a Reverse Call for Proposals Reflection Meeting. The conversation created space to openly discuss what worked well, the challenges we encountered and the lessons we can carry forward. Our conversations highlighted the importance of strong partnerships, better alignment of funding with community needs and strengthening accountability and communication. These insights are guiding the next phase of the work, ensuring a more responsive and community led approach. #ZGF #CommunityLed #Partnerships #LearningTogetherch.

Where water flows, equality grows 💧 This World Water Day, we highlight the connection between water and gender equality. Access to clean, safe water is not just a basic need, it is a matter of equity, dignity and inclusion. At ZGF, our work in strengthening communities and supporting civil society is rooted in the belief that development must be inclusive. When communities are freed from the burden of water challenges, they are better able to participate in decision-making, lead initiatives and drive sustainable change. Ensuring equitable access to resources like water is part of building stronger, more resilient communities where everyone has a voice. 🌍💙 #WorldWaterDay #WaterAndGender #ShiftingThePower #Equality

Thank you for this lovely gesture, Diamond Media Zambia 😍😍😍

We are only TWO EPISODES away from the finale! 🎤 Today’s episode brought the heat as UNZA and Mulungushi went head-to-head, debating the role of digital media in amplifying citizen voice and shaping governance. From social media activism to online accountability, both teams delivered powerful arguments on how digital platforms are changing the way citizens engage with leaders and participate in decision-making. The debate was intense, insightful, and a reminder that young voices are shaping the future of governance. What role do you think digital media should play in strengthening citizen participation and governance? 👇

Ideas clashed and voices were heard as Copperbelt University debated Mulungushi University on the motion: “Communities should have decisive influence over development projects that directly affect their environment and livelihoods.” A reminder that development works best when communities are not just consulted, but empowered to decide.

What happens when grants are designed with civil society, not just for them? This week’s Newsflash explores why co-creation in grant design matters. When civil society organisations are involved from the beginning, funding systems become more practical, inclusive and responsive to real community needs. Recently, the Zambian Governance Foundation brought together 15 CSOs to begin collaboratively shaping the Community Resource Mobilisation Fund — demonstrating how shared design can strengthen ownership, trust and sustainability across the sector. Because stronger systems are built through partnership, not prescription. Read more ➡️ https://mailchi.mp/zgf/can-csos-tell-funders-how-to-fund-them-news-for-from-civil-society
