From Budget Cut to Budget Increase: Building Political Will for Civil Registration in Zambia

In Zambia, the national government increased funding for its civil registration services by 67%, following advocacy by the Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI) and our civil society organization (CSO) partner Maternal Health Action Zambia (MHAZ). Prior to civil society engagement, the initial budget proposal had called for a funding cut. 

This means more births and deaths will be registered, more Zambians will be able to enjoy their civil rights and access social services and the country will have a more secure legal identity system.

Reducing Demand for Unhealthy Food

Globally there has been an influx of ultra-processed products, which have negatively impacted diets and increased the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, among others. To shift these alarming trends, GHAI works with civil society organizations to push for mandatory policies that reduce the consumption of ultra-processed food and beverages.
