ZAMBIA's STORY
Since Zambia was introduced to the CSTL initiative in 2006, the Ministry has slowly been expanding the concept of coordinated care and support to schools. Nearly 50% have school support teams that provide guidance to schools in the identification and support of learners, and 79% of schools nation-wide provide care and support services to learners, in the form of school feeding programmes, safety and protection, or comprehensive sexuality education.
Speak out!, a school-based programme implemented jointly by MIET AFRICA and the Ministries of Education, and facilitated through CSTL, has gone way beyond the classroom. MIET AFRICA designed interactive materials providing useful information and strategies for use in workshops with teachers, parents and learners. This means that whenever a child “speaks out”, the person spoken to is equipped to follow the correct steps and procedures.
Speak out! workshops took place in all of Zambia’s 15 CSTL laboratory schools with selected learners, to help them identify and prevent different forms of abuse.
