Kabwe Municipal Council (KMC) has awarded skills development bursaries to 763 students under the 2025 Constituency Development Fund (CDF).
Kabwe Municipal Council Director of Planning Chansa Mwila said in an interview with the media that the beneficiaries have been sponsored to undertake various skills-related courses.
Mr Mwila said the sponsorship of 763 students was a clear demonstration of the seriousness that the government attaches to skills development among citizens.
“I am happy to announce that the Kabwe Municipal Council has awarded skills development bursaries to 763 students in the district. This has been done through the 2025 CDF allocation,” Mr Mwila said.
He said the onus is now on beneficiaries of training to use the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills that will better their living conditions.
He stated that the local authority will continue with its prudent management of CDF funds for the benefit of the residents of both Bwacha and Kabwe Central Constituencies.
Mr Mwila commended the two CDF committees for their commitment towards implementing impactful projects in the respective constituencies.
Government has increased the CDF from K1.6 million to K40 million to accelerate development at constituency level in line with the decentralization policy.
