On behalf of program conveners, the ZCTU is honored to invite you to what is sure to be a lively, interactive, daylong discussion in Lusaka, Zambia.

"Amplifying the Voices of Workers to Safeguard Democracy in Africa" falls during the second Summit for Democracy, a global democracy initiative co-hosted by Costa Rica, the Netherlands, South Korea, the United States and Zambia from March 28-30, 2023. The second Summit will showcase progress made by Summit partners on commitments during the Year of Action. M-POWER is one of the largest commitments made by Summit partners.

ZCTU and M-POWER have invited representatives from organized labor on the continent at the subregional and national level as well as officials from the governments involved in M-POWER to observe and participate. Interactive sessions will focus on strengthening democracy and opening rapidly closing civic space in Africa.

The event will be in person in Zambia and streamed online. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in French.

M-POWER is a global initiative that includes steering committee members from governments, philanthropy and labor organizations, including the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), International Domestic Workers Federation (IDWF), International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the governments of Argentina, Canada, Spain and the United States.
