Indigenous evaluation blog
A 4-part blog series about the drought in Zambia, by John T. Njovu |
The call by most of the people of the Nyalugwe chiefdom that I met during my study tour was for more supplies of food from the DMMU (Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit). They also called on their high net-worth relatives, civil society, and well-wishers to come to their assistance. TUpon returning from the Kasansamula, I joined the big crowd of villagers that had gathered at Chamilala Primary School. The next distribution point to the one in Chamilala was about 40-50 km away at Uyanya Primary School. They were on Great East Road and some 3-5 kms from the Luangwa bridge. |
Conclusion: A call for assistance, unity and ceremony

There is not much data on the effects of climate change and economics of climate change in Zambia or the rest of Africa. I have been using my own resources to start studying and filming the effects of climate change in the Luangwa basin. I am grateful to receive a pledge of support from EvalIndigenous to support my efforts. This has been made possible through its receipt of a 2024 grant from the Ford Foundation.
