Council Churches of Zambia (CCZ) Social and Economic Justice Programme Officer Andisen Zulu has bemoaned the low percentage of Zambians who have birth certificate documents.

Mr. Zulu says the low percentage of Zambians who have birth certificates is due to the fact that the system is not decentralized.

He has urged Zambians to realize that acquiring a birth certificate is an important process which must be given attention.

Meanwhile Mr. Zulu says so far over  one thousand  six hundred  have been issued with birth certificates since the program started early this year.

This year Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) in partnership with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched children welfare hubs project that are being implemented in Lusaka province.

The project is being hosted by CCZ member churches namely united church of Zambia-mount olive in Chongwe, reformed Church of Zambia in Chawama, Reformed Church of Zambia in Libala and Salvation Army in George Compound with an objective of building bridges to foster Children’s Social Welfare and Health Services in Lusaka.

The project is aimed at establishing of church and community children’s welfare hubs which would act as a facilitating unit to monitor and promote basic child services and to create and enhance linkages of the community to main service providers of health, social welfare, and child protection.

And Mr. Zulu has also re-emphasized the importance of birth certificates saying it is a basic requirement for national documents such as national registration card and passports among others.
