The Monze District Disaster Management Committee (DDMC) has differed with the Vulnerability Assessment Committee’s (VAC) on the number of people who need needed relief food in the district.
The DDMC indicated during the meeting held at the district administration conference unit in Monze that the picture reflected in the VAC report on the number of households affected by hunger in the distict was contrary to what was obtaining on the ground.
The DDMC said that all the 22 wards in Monze were affected, but the VAC report stated that only six wards needed relief food.
And Monze District Commissioner, Joyce Nondo, has since appealed for more relief food from the Disster MAnagement and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) in order to cover all the affected areas in the district.
Mrs. Nondo said that the hunger situation in the district was very critical and needed urgent attention, adding that people in rural areas were feeding on wild fruits and roots.
She said that there was no more relief food that was coming to the district except the food for asset provided by Peri Urban Self Help (PUSH).
The district commissioner said that the food provided unde PUSH was not sufficient as it was only given to six wards that included Hatontola, Choongo West, Malundu, Bweengwa, Keemba and Mayaba, leaving 16 wards unattended to.
Under PUSH communities are engaged in activities such as crop production, construction and rehabilitation of crush panes, crossing points, dams and infrastructure development like construction of schools and rural health centres.
An initial 2,194 metric tonnes of relief food was allocated to the six wards in Monze under PUSH, but was later increased to 5,172 metric tonnes.

# 6 –Anatola IV…..You are quite sophisticated…….mwanakashi ati relief food!!!
#7-Muche,You know even if I decide not to link the anticipated visit of my woman to relief food,other terms used in the article above like “vac,vac” and the “push,push” would still take me back to the same concept!So in conclusion I’m still saying a woman can be relief food to her man.Perhaps even Baby C doesn’t realise that she is often been the much needed ‘relief food’ to her man on a number of occasions.Iwe ka Baby C can you tell us: you’ve never had the VAC VAC and the PUSH PUSH stuff with your man before?Come on tell us!

Is there a body controlling or monitoring acronyms in Zambia? I know two other Zambian organizations that use the acronym VAC; one is the Visual Arts Council (VAC). Let things be organised properly in Zambia otherwise we will not be better than a Banana Republic.
