Mukubesa calls for child-focused growth

Mwaka Mukubesa, the Ministry of Finance and National Planning Permanent Secretary for Budget and Economic Affairs in Zambia, has advocated for a child-centered approach to the nation’s economic development. During a recent address, she emphasized the necessity of aligning the 'Grow Zambia Agenda' with the tangible improvement of living conditions for the country's most vulnerable populations.

According to Mukubesa, national economic growth is only considered meaningful when it directly benefits children and other vulnerable citizens. The statement highlights a strategic push to ensure that macroeconomic progress translates into practical social welfare improvements.
