The Speaker of the National Assembly of Zambia, Rt. Hon Ms. Nelly B. K. Mutti, SC., MP, FAPRA, has called on female Members of Parliament (MPs) to make full use of Constituency Offices as a means of bringing Parliament closer to the people.

Speaking during a meeting with all female Members of Parliament (MP) on Wednesday, 26th March, 2025, at Parliament Buildings in Lusaka. Speaker Mutti emphasised that the National Assembly of Zambia is the most decentralized institution in the country, with Constituency Offices serving as critical access points for citizen engagement.

The Institute of Parliamentary Studies and Training with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under the Democracy Strengthening in Zambia (DSZ) Project held a two day workshop for members of parliament aimed at  enhancing parliamentary oversight and cross-party cooperation.

The National Assembly of Zambia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the African Group of Negotiators Experts Support (AGNES) to strengthen parliamentary oversight on climate change.

The agreement is aimed at empowering Parliamentarians to track, assess and verify climate-related projects on the ground using the Climate Monitoring and Accountability Tool (CMAT), a digital platform designed to monitor climate change and related actions, ensuring transparency and accountability in resource utilization.

Speaker of the National Assembly of Zambia, The Rt. Hon. Ms. Nelly B.K. Mutti, SC, MP, FAPRA, has welcomed Her Excellency Ms. Rebecca Terzeon, the new High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Zambia, calling for strengthened collaboration and support between the two nations.
