The government of Zambia recognizes the important role that women play in the attainment of development. Furthermore, we recognize that the empowerment of women and their inclusion in the decision making process has enhanced their role in development. It is for this reason, that Zambia has integrated women in all sectors of society in decision-making positions. We are committed to doing even more.
