Zambia Centre for Communication Programs (ZCCP-Kwatu)

Non Governmental Organization

Zambia Centre for Communication Programmes (ZCCP) is a not-for-profit, locally
based multi-media communications organization, which uses the power of the
mass media (radio, TV, print and electronic media) and social mobilization to
reach the Zambian population and to affect social and behaviour change. The
organization uses a rigorous formative research process to generate
appropriate edutainment content relevant to health and development priorities
in Zambia.
Established in 2002, the core activities of ZCCP since then have taken place
under the auspices of a Regional Health Communication Programme involving 9
country partners in southern Africa, which is co-coordinated by the Soul City
Institute. To ensure that the developed materials and interventions are
contextualized to local situations, ZCCP has developed Kwatu as a well-known
health and development communication brand, which has been used to carry out
all of ZCCP’s products. Overtime ZCCP has integrated other socio-health issues
such as HIV/AIDS and Gender-based violence and campaign to end child marriages
in Zambia.

ZCCP is implementing the Zambia Community HIV Prevention Project (ZCHPP) in
Kabwe and Kapiri Mposhi districts in Central Province, Chipata district in
Eastern Province and Mufulira district in Copperbelt. The ZCHPP project is
funded by PEPFAR and USAID through PACT.

The goal of ZCHPP is to reduce new HIV infections in Zambia among Priority
Populations [Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW), People Living With HIV
(PLWH), Mobile workers, Discordant Couples and Non-Injectable Drug Users
(NIDU)] by increasing adoption of high impact HIV services and protective
behaviors among at-risk populations, using evidence-based and locally owned
solutions

ZCCP is therefore looking for suitably qualified individuals to fill up the
following vacancy.
