Integrated Program and Policy Actions on State of Governance In Zambia THEMATIC AREAS OF FOCUS:  1. Influencing/Local governance 2. Civic engagement and participation /Convening/Networking 3. Media engagement/Public engagement  These three identified areas of focus are aligned to the country strategy where we seek to build a critical voice on issues of accountability through active citizens, and creating spaces for engagement through multi - stakeholder platforms, and using these spaces to generate advocacy actions and messages that will ultimately be used to influence policy actions by government that are pro -poor and responsive to the needs of the communities and citizens at large.  These needs, amongst many, include provision of quality social services, accountability in the allocation and use of public resources, gender mainstreaming and a focus on gender responsive budgeting, increased investment in key sectors like education, health and agriculture and improved governance systems that place citizens at the centre.  To achieve this, Oxfam has had to transition itself to being a ‘convening' organisation and using these competencies to draw in the various Civil Society Organisation's (CSO's), Community Based Organisation's (CBO's), local government departments, private sector and the communities who are the main beneficiaries of our work in the country programme into the pro -poor and development discourse.   To achieve impact, Oxfam has also had to develop strategic alliances and partnerships, and work through networks and coalitions to amplify the voice, widen the reach and impact as well as use the competencies within these partnerships to generate evidence for advocacy. Other strategies include the adoption of the ‘one programme approach' which intends to ensure that a strong correlation is created within the four programme teams and develop a common approach and vision towards meeting the strategic goal as defined on the Zambia Country Strategy.   Each of the 4 programmes have identified specific areas of action that fit within t

At a policy level, it is expected that laws and policies will be enacted that support a Mineral Revenue Sharing Mechanism (MRSM) to ensure beneficiation and equity in allocation of revenue from the sector. The project seeks to establish multi stakeholder platforms that will ensure that various stakeholders at the district level are engaged in the discourse on MRSM, beneficiation, transparency and accountability.
Citizen Participation in Adaptation to Climate Change The project will also aim at improving governance and accountability for resources for adaptation and mitigation as well as invest in productivity, resilience and sustainability of small scale food producers, particularly women as they are the main food producers even in the context of Climate Change.

Copper for Development Campaign The intended outcomes/results of this intervention are to advocate for policy reform on Mineral Revenue Management aimed at ringfencing mining revenues for spending/allocation to priority sectors (agriculture, health, energy, education) key to the improved socio -economic status of all citizens. The project has been implemented at two levels with a phased approach including the first part, which was a comprehensive research to understand the context on Zambia's extraction of the copper resource and use of revenue resources, and the second part being the campaign. The rationale for this was for the findings of the research to drive and propel the ‘copper for development' campaign.   The extension of the Copper for Development campaign is intended to implement actions on basis of commitments made for mineral revenue policy reform in Zambia's past general elections.
