Minister of Labour and Social Security Brenda Mwika Tambatamba has urged citizens to embrace productivity as a personal and collective responsibility, stressing that Zambia’s development cannot be driven by government alone.

It is a call for citizens to embrace productivity as a personal and collective responsibility, with every action contributing to national growth.

Speaking at the launch of the 100 Days of Productivity Activism in Lusaka, Tambatamba stressed that development is not only about large industries or government projects, but also about the daily contributions of ordinary citizens.

“Our national development is the sum of our individual choices and actions, Mindset Shift for a Productive Zambia: Every Positive Action Counts.” she said

Ms Tambatamba explained that productivity can be expressed in simple but meaningful ways, such as growing food in a backyard garden, running a small business, or performing professional duties diligently.

“100 days may seem short, but it is enough time to turn a behaviour into a permanent habit,” she said. The campaign is designed not just as a temporary initiative, but as a catalyst for long-term behavioural change.

The Minister emphasized that the programme aligns with President Hakainde Hichilema’s vision of citizen-driven development.

She noted that the President has consistently encouraged Zambians to take an active role in building the economy.

“A productive Zambia is not a dream; it is a decision. Every second matters. Every task matters. Every action count,” she said.

To reinforce the campaign, Ms Tambatamba unveiled six National Productivity Ambassadors, including Dr. Rozious Siatwambo, CEO of Great North Road Group of Companies, and Brigadier General Mwizukanji Namwawa, Director General of Army Legal Services.
