Minister of Community Development and Social Services, Ms Doreen Mwamba, has officially handed over 17 vehicles to 17 districts across the country in a move aimed at strengthening service delivery and bringing development closer to communities.
The vehicles, valued at K47,423,812, are expected to enhance mobility for district teams, enabling them to reach remote areas, respond more quickly to community needs, and improve the monitoring of development projects.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, Ms Mwamba emphasized that the vehicles are not merely assets, but critical tools for service, designed to ensure that no community is left behind regardless of distance or terrain.
She noted that the handover reflects Government’s continued commitment to community development, social protection, and sustainable livelihoods, in line with President Hakainde Hichilema’s vision of inclusive development.
The Minister urged recipient districts to use the vehicles responsibly and ensure they directly benefit poor and vulnerable communities through enhanced and quality service delivery.
She further expressed optimism that the additional logistical support will motivate districts to work harder and deliver tangible results for the people.
The 17 receiving districts include Kabwe, Kapiri Mposhi, Mansa, Mwense,Lundazi, Chipata and Chililabombwe.
Others are Lavushimanda, Lunte, Senga Hill, Mbala, Chavuma, Kalumbila, Choma, Chirundu, Mongu and Lukulu.
