More About Us
At PRIM-Zambia, we consider stakeholders' engagement to be a key aspect of the process. We
consider those who are affected by a problem, served by a public program, employed
by an organization or provide services to primary actors as key players in each stage of
services delivery. For instance, participating stakeholders are involved in the initial
identification of the problem to be studied; the design of the research process or
methods; the collection, documentation, and analysis of data; and the implementation
of new approaches that result from the insights, lessons, and findings that emerge from
the research.
To adequately engage stakeholders, we create awareness and improve the knowledge of individuals
and communities about the topics and research project. In addition, we build the capacity of
local data collectors who facilitate the acceptability and conducting of our research in a
culturally fit model. This dialogue with stakeholders makes PRIM-Zambia unique among researchers,
with strict adherence to accountability to primary actors and transparency in our actions.
