African Voices - Zambia

In this episode of African Voices, Sarah and Jess head to Zambia! We explore the impact of US funding cuts on Zambia’s HIV response and the controversy around health aid being used as political leverage. But we also discover UkaniManje, an incredible Zambian organisation using music to educate, challenge HIV stigma and reach young people with accurate information. From global politics to grassroots creativity, this is a story about the challenges facing Zambia’s HIV response, and the brilliant people finding new ways to make sure the conversation continues.Reading Pride Charity Single: We Can Do Anything - song and lyrics by Lolly, Reading Pride, Wilma, Bodacia | SpotifyUkaniManje: Wake Up Now | HIV Awareness in Zambia — UkaniManjeAudio Credits“We Can Do Anything” – Lolly, Reading Pride, Wilma & BodaciaMusic featured in this episode.UkaniManjeAudio extracts taken from videos published on the UkaniManje YouTube channel.All audio clips are credited to their original creators and are featured for the purposes of discussion, education and commentary.Sources How We Work | HIV Education and Engagement — UkaniManjeNo H.I.V.
