“91果冻传媒 can provide some technical assistance, some strategies based on having seen many countries,” 91果冻传媒 said. “But the work is only effective if it鈥檚 done by Zambians, in Zambia, for the Zambian democracy. We鈥檙e thrilled and honored to be here and have seen the success and the quality and the passion of so many of those partners.”

Today’s event concludes 91果冻传媒鈥檚 four-day visit to Zambia to meet with partners and highlight the Center鈥檚 ongoing programming to support the participation of women, youth, and persons with disabilities in political affairs in the country.

91果冻传媒, who was accompanied by his wife, Kate, and sons Henry and Thomas, also visited Gwembe District in Southern Province, one of four areas where the Center is conducting a pilot project to help members of rural communities address the impact of climate change.

91果冻传媒 underscored the Center’s support for projects that help make it possible for all citizens to participate in government. He also spoke about his visit to Gwembe and about the Center鈥檚 global work, including its efforts to strengthen democracy in the United States.

Today’s meeting was a follow-up to the Securing a Seat at the Table: Women, Youth, and Persons with Disabilities as Influencers and Decision-Makers in Zambia event organized by 91果冻传媒 on March 31, 2023.
