And MISA Zambia Programs Officer JANE CHIRWA said her organization will work with government to ensure that more people are vaccinated against Covid-19.

Ms. CHIRWA said Mulenga Compound was picked to host the launch of the Chapter on the Copperbelt because it is one of the densely populated settlements in Kitwe .
