The Republican Progressive Party (RPP) in Eastern Province is pleased to commend the transformative impact of the Cash for Work initiative, which has significantly improved the livelihoods of people especially in Kasenengwa District.
Under this programme, community members have actively participated in repairing roads,maintaining schools, and improving health facilities, which is aimed at fostering development across the district.
After just 10 days of work, participants receive payments that help them meet essential needs,including purchasing food for their families. This intervention has been a timely and life-saving.
*As UPND Alliance partner*, RPP commends His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema for his wise and compassionate leadership. His understanding of the challenges faced by ordinary Zambians, especially during times of hunger and hardship, is what has made this programme a success.
Beyond meeting basic needs, the Cash for Work initiative is also reviving agriculture in Kasenengwa. With the money earned, people are now able to buy fertilizer, seeds, and even hire labour, turning their earnings into productive capital that is driving local farming and strengthening food security.
This programme must continue as it is not just an economic intervention, but a symbol of dignity, opportunity, and hope.

Hopefully, this program is above board and not a conduit for theft.
Cash for work amount cannot enable one buy fertiliser, seed and hire labour. The statement is exaggerated. Let us build the industrial Base of the country and give our people meaningful and dignified jobs and stop this cash for work thing
People continue wallowing in poverty in Zambia. Economic decline started even before the drought. Drought had an impact but the decline was already there especially after 2021 where food and other essentials had prices going up, with politicians hiding in free education,As if free education puts food on the table. Cash for work is unsustainable
Forget the propaganda that prices are going down in Livingstone. I stay in Livingstone and the cost of living is still very high. We have cash for work here with very insignificant impact. Food for work is where you feed today and wait for the next handout
Oh so this is new is it ??? Is my memory failing ??
Poor souls on this site, constantly complaining. Get off your butt and work. Zambians out there are busy hustling and especially marketeers, l was shocked seeing a marketeer counting 20k in the streets. Zambia is bustling with investments and jobs are becoming easier to get.
