What is the Way Forward to Improve the Lives of All Zambians?

The Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR)realises that the debate around what should be contained in the final Constitution (content) and how to adopt the Constitution (process) is not only a political debate or discussion, but is very fundamentally an ethical one. This is why the JCTR believes that there is a value-added dimension that the Church’s Social Teaching (CST) can contribute to the on-going constitutional debate. JCTR considers CST to be realistically very important, contextually very worthwhile, and potentially very influential. This brochure is designed to help you know more about what the Mung’omba Draft Constitution proposes with regard to the inclusion of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ESCR) in the new Zambian Constitution’s Bill of Rights.
