The Human Rights Commission of Zambia, in partnership with the Ministry of Justice, held a Validation Workshop for Zambia’s first National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights from 11th to 12th December 2025 at Mulungushi International Conference Centre in Lusaka, where stakeholders from various sectors reviewed and validated the draft National Action Plan.

The draft Action Plan was developed following nationwide stakeholder consultations which conducted earlier this year.

The validation process marks a significant step toward strengthening the protection of human rights within Zambia’s business and economic environment.

Through collective stakeholder input, the National Action Plan will provide a clear framework for promoting responsible business conduct and ensuring that development is aligned with respect for human dignity and human rights.
