Our Story

Zambia Centre for Communication Programmes (ZCCP) is a not- for- profit, locally b a s e d multi-media communications organization, which uses the power of the mass media (radio, TV and print) and social mobilisation to reach the Zambian population and to affect social and behavior change. The organization uses a rigorous formative research process to generate appropriate edutainment content relevant to health and development priorities in Zambia.

To ensure that the developed materials and interventions are contextualized to local situation, ZCCP has developed Kwatu as a well-known health and development communication brand, which has been used to carry all of ZCCP's products. ZCCP has also managed to run the One Love Kwasila campaign.

Social Health Issues

Overtime ZCCP has integrated other socio- health issues such as Gender-Based Violence and campaign to end child marriages in Zambia. ZCCP is implementing the USAID Stop GBV Now Project (a five year project 2023-2028) targeted at scaling up prevention and mitigation of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and the fight against child marriages in Zambia. ZCCP has implemented the GBV projects funded by USAID from 2013.
