He is the author of two books: An Issue-Based Journalism Handbook and Show Me The Money, a study of how government spends and accounts for public money in Zambia. He'll talk "about the so-called Diaspora and what Africans abroad have to do to earn the respect they deserve. I think the biggest challenge we face as peoples from Africa is to keep our culture alive to a point where it becomes a civilisation. Look at Indians, the Chinese. They have exported their cuisine, their martial arts, their work ethic, their religion. What did it take? What does it take? I think that even as the world globalises and become one big village, we ought to see our footprints on it. How we do it is by exporting our cultural institutions and practices."

"The most important capital a society can have is human capital. Assessing the quantity and quality of this capital at small areas, regional and national levels is an essential component of modern government.Aside from the answer to the question “How many are we?” there is also a need to provide an answer to “Who are we?” in terms of age, sex, education, occupation, economic activity, and other crucial characteristics, as well as to “Where do we live?” in terms of housing, access to water, availability of essential facilities, access to the Internet. The answers to these questions provide a numerical profile of a nation which is sine qua non of evidence-based decision making at all levels, and is indispensable for monitoring universally recognized and internationally adopted Millennium Development Goals."

Children as an Investment - Jan 30,2010

JamesMwape — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 05:00:00 GMT

Some people in Zambia consider children as an investment. The more children you have the secure you retirement is. This is because, one or more of the children might be successful and take care of you in your old age. In Western Culture, having one or two children is common, because children tend to be expensive. How do poor families in Zambian villages afford to have 6 or more children and never complain about them being expensive? Our Cultural Warriors look at this question and explain the cultural crash experienced by Zambia immigrants in the diaspora.
