Abstract
At 55 years of independence, Zambia claimed to have made a lot of economic advances both in urban and rural areas. However, these advancements were supposed to translate to the improvement of living standards of the people of Zambia living in both rural and urban areas. It is against this background that JCTR conducted a study in Chishipula community to ascertain the extent to which the people of that community access economic, social and cultural Rights with particular attention to Education, Health and Water & Sanitation. The findings however, revealed that Chishipula was far from accessing of these rights. Against these findings, JCTR had for the previous six months been engaging the community and the service providers to see how best these rights can be accessed by the people living in Chishipula Community.
Description
