What We Implement
Programs
Advocacy and Policy Engagement
KPAZ actively engages policymakers, government institutions, and civil society to advocate for inclusive health policies and rights-based legislation that protect and serve key populations across Zambia.
Capacity Building
We strengthen community-led organizations through training, mentorship, and resource mobilization. Our programs build leadership skills and organizational capacity to ensure sustainable impact.
Health and HIV Prevention Services
Through partnerships with CIDRZ, CIHEB, JSH, and MOH, we link key populations to comprehensive HIV services covering prevention, testing, treatment, and care across multiple provinces.
Research and Data Collection
KPAZ generates critical evidence through community-based research and data collection to inform programming, policy decisions, and resource allocation for key population services.
Stigma Reduction and Sensitization
Our sensitization campaigns engage healthcare providers, law enforcement, community leaders, and the public to reduce stigma and discrimination against key populations.
Legal and Human Rights Support
We provide legal assistance, rights education, and documentation of human rights violations to protect key populations from violence, abuse, and discrimination.
