Norwegian Church Aid (Zambia)

NCA was established in Zambia in 2002 and has since implemented programmes to empower the country’s citizens, particularly vulnerable women and youth. Through strong networks and alliances within Zambian civil society, including faith-based actors, NCA has upheld and protected people’s dignity and promoted their participation in the development of their country. For NCA, a rights-based approach to development and collaboration with civil society actors are the primary means to fulfil its mandate to strengthen civil society.

Since 2011, NCA in Zambia has been part of a Joint Country Programme (JCP), together with Action by Churches Together (ACT) sister agencies, DanChurchAid and Christian Aid. The JCP fosters positive synergies among the ACT agencies, increasing the effectiveness and sustainability of member agencies’ long-term development and humanitarian response programmes.
