Social Welfare Policy and Services in Zambia

This course provides a critical analysis of the history, structure, and implementation of social welfare policies in Zambia, including the Social Protection Policy, the National Gender Policy, and laws related to children, persons with disabilities, and victims of gender-based violence. Students evaluate the role of government bodies like the Department of Social Welfare, parastatals like NAPSA, and international donors in shaping service delivery. Understanding this policy landscape is crucial for Social Workers advocating for clients, managing cases, and influencing policy within NGOs or public institutions. 25schools offers distilled policy summaries, guides on navigating public assistance programs, and exam-focused materials on legislative frameworks, equipping students at UNZA and CBU to critically engage with the systems that define their future practice in the Community Development sector.
