About us
ZOCS joins hands with other civil society organizations in lobbying and advocating for rights of the child to education especially the girl child and those that are disabled. In the latest Strategic Plan advocacy is ZOCS major vehicle for achieving sustainable community schools in Zambia. ZOCS is currently networking with other likeminded institutions including government line ministries. Its community school memberships and affiliations gives ZOCS a unique position of concentrating efforts on issues that matter most to the OVC. ZOCS provides revolving funds to community schools, assisting them in ensuring financial sustainability through effective income generating ventures, enterprise development and implementation. Working with community schools, ZOCS facilitates community project planning and implementation to support the schools. ZOCS conducts training for PSCS and teachers and provides technical support to community school management especially in resource mobilization. Training of teachers is very critical as government is not in a position to provide teachers in all community schools. Capacity building of community school management includes setting up internal control systems and supporting their operationalization within the community school system. ZOCS also facilitates community mobilization, strategic planning and institutional building of community schools. This is done through capacity building of communities to enable them to provide education for their children.

This week, we launched the report “Early Childhood Education in Zambia: The Cost of Inaction”, written by DNA Economics for the Government of Zambia, together with the Ministry of Education. The report assesses the costs and benefits associated with the implementation of comprehensive universal Early Childhood Education (ECE) services for children aged 3 to 6 in Zambia, to inform decision-making processes and policy development by the government.
