What the paper say.

1. Zambia Secures USD 30 Million Climate Change Fund

Zambia has secured over USD 30 million in climate financing to support smallholder farmers against climate shocks. The funding will promote climate-smart agriculture, risk protection mechanisms, and improved resilience, helping to strengthen food security and rural livelihoods.

2. VEEP Nods South Korea’s Village Concept

The Vice President has acknowledged South Korea’s Village Movement (Saemaul Undong) as a model for Zambia’s rural development. The approach emphasizes community-driven development, self-reliance, and infrastructure improvement to transform rural economies.

Overall

Both highlight Zambia’s focus on strengthening rural resilience through climate adaptation financing and adopting proven development models from South Korea.
