::	Editorial
	2005 : A year of implementing MS-Zambia Partnership Programme

::	Partnership against Poverty

::	Communication Breakdown Causes Confusion
	The debate on the national constitutional review process has ended up in accusations and even violence due to poor communication.

::	Lack of Political Will Increases Poverty Levels
	Political will is needed if Zambia is to break the chain of poverty, says CSPR.

::	Corruption - A Major Setback to Development
	Corruption undermines deve-lopment especially in the rural areas, where people don’t only know where to complain about corrupt practices but also unaware that they are victims of corrupt practices.

::	Kamoto Showed Us What Communication Is All About
	Kamoto’s play was an eye-opener to many of the participants at the MS-Zambia Annual Meeting 2005. The play illustrated the importance of communication for development.

::	Communication: Key to Involvement
	Many people in Zambia depend on the natural resources for sustaining their livelihoods, yet very few have access to or control over the valuable resources. The work of one of MS-Zambia’s partners shows, that when the local community is involved in natural resource management it benefits are not only enjoyed by the people but by the environment as well.

::	Challenges Ahead for MS-Zambia Partners
	MS-Zambia partners have expressed interest in the Communication for Empowerment concept, saying it was an important tool in the involvement of communities in implementing development programmes.

::	Siavonga Remembered

::	Where Were The Women?
	Only one partnerorganisation at the MS-Zambia Annual Meeting 2005 was represented by a woman. MS-Zambia and its partners needs do much more on gender. Communication for empowerment could help boost women’s confidence and self-esteem

::	MS-Zambia Support Takes New Twist
	The Danish Government has seen it preferable to concentrate more on domestic issues in Denmark rather than spending money on Foreign Development Assistance. This also affects MS-Zambia partners.

::	Contentment and Proposals Encircle MS-Zambia AM

::	MS-Zambia PAB Expands
	MS-Zambia PAB members are no longer representing a province but one of the three Policy components. This means that for a transition period of one year, partners will have one more representative in the PAB than they normally have.
