Community Grain Banks
Related to country: Zambia


I have been producing programmes on MDG 1 - reducing poverty. We have tackled the issue of community grain banks and the need to restore them to their past glory.

An assessment was conducted in Sept 2006, and on Thursday 30 Nov 2006, there shall be a meeting with high level provincial government officials. We shall have representation from a number of districts in Southern Province, Senior Chiefs, Senior Headmen, and other stake holders.

The meeting is focussing on the report that was prepared and also to make a better way forward as planning has to be done now, than later.

I am happy that there is a step forward on one of the MDGs, and am sure that we shall achieve it by 2015. People need information, and once they have that information, they are empowered to act.
