Friends and Partners,

At Musokotwane Compassion Mission Zambia - MCMZ we realize that the 2023-2024 farming season droughts which destroyed over 1.3 Million Hectares of maize fields is a threat to our communities curbing violence and against women and children.

The Choma Small Scale Farmers Field Day is set as a model household food security strategy which can be adopted by the three thousand peasant and small scale farmers delegates who will attend this event on the 13th July, 2023 with each having access to under a hectare irrigated field.

Eventually, under a hectare of irrigated fields per household across Choma, Southern, Zambia will mean improved much needed nutritional foods for pregnant mothers and children, improved children's health, improved school attendance and performance for rural schools going children, increased district household food security, and reduced violence against women and children in Choma.

We are alive to the fact that food security at household level reduces the chances of women and children from enduring hunger, poverty and violence. The reduction in the prevalences of these vices positively contributes towards our country attaining the Sustainable Development Goals.

To everyone partnering in the actualizing of this event, we want to assure you that, you're not only participating in an event but contributing to the betterment of women and children in greatest need in Choma district in a sustainable way beyond the event.

To sponsor this event, exhibition of mechanized farming equipments, and demo plots planting email: [email protected]

We are happy to monitor your crop and stands from now till the 13th July, 2024. Click email button

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ZAMBIAN AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IS READY FOR EAST AFRICA MARKET, SAYS MUSOKOTWANE COMPASSION MISSION DIRECTOR

DAR-ES-SALAAM, 14/12/2023:

Musokotwane Compassion Mission Zambia (MCMZ) Executive Director, Sibbuku Genious Musokotwane says the Zambian agriculture sector has huge untapped potential to meet the East African demand for white maize and other crop produce through enhanced mechanisation of the sector and foreign partnerships in utilising the land for crop production.

Speaking when he paid a courtesy call on the Zambian Deputy High Commissioner to the Republic of Tanzania, Ambassador Anthony Bwalya at the Zambian Mission in Dar-es-salaam, Mr. Musokotwane said he is in the country to explore new market in East Africa.

"...I have noticed the region has huge potential for first grade white maize and other farm produce. I am here to ensure that what we produce at our farms back home has an available market beyond the borders of Zambia," he said. "I also want to guarantee would be partners of assured market and also government support."

He added that as an organization, MCMZ has a running three year strategic plan that covers 2022 to 2025 and aimed at Agricultural Machanization as a strong tool for enhanced response against child marriage and contribution towards achieving the Zambian government's agenda for zero child marriage by the year, 2030 through food security and reduced donor reliance for projects implementation and sustainability.

Mr. Musokotwane further informed the Ambassador that MCMZ is ready to work with anyone that wishes to partner with it, with farm machinery and inputs to enhance production.

Meanwhile, Mr Bwalya said the agricultural sector will only thrive and achieve its full potential through partnerships such as what MCMZ is embarking on building with the Private sector.

He commended MCMZ for going an extra mile in using agriculture as a tool, not only for food security but also as a sustainability tool in its quest to end child marriage and violence against children in Zambia.
