The Zambian government through the Ministry Of Community Development and Social Services has conceptualized a model, in partnership with the Korean Government that seeks to enhance community development, in a bid to reduce poverty and change lives.
The Saemaul Undong (SMU) concept is a strategy to accelerate the development of communities especially in the rural areas of Southern Korea, which the Zambian Government seeks to replicate and localize, in an effort to improve community development back home.
The two countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the Saemaul Undong Concept on 28th October which signified the beginning of the collaboration between the two countries.

The Saemaul Undong is an integrated development approach that was used by South Korea to modernise its rural communities and develop the country. The ideology focuses on improving the living standards through mind-set transformation, agriculture, infrastructure development among others in rural communities.
The Ministry is working with the Government of Korea in localising and preparation for the implementation of the Saemual Undong Concept which will be called Community Led Transformation Project in Zambia in selected pilot villages of Chikankata, Mazabuka, Kafue and Chibombo Districts.
Ministry Of Community Development and Social Services Permanent Secretary, Ms. Angela Kawandami who is representing Zambia in Korea at the Saemaul Undong invitational training, notes that apart from reducing poverty, it is envisioned that once fully actualised, the concept will further increase incomes among community members.

She told the meeting that an agreement has been reached that they use this concept in Kafue District of Lusaka Province, Chibombo District of Central Province, Mazabuka and Chikankata Districts of Southern Province respectively to see how much progress can be recorded.
“It is worth noting that as the concept is adopted and enshrined in our National Development Plan and National Social Protection Policy, the concept will contribute remarkably in transforming the country through improved living standards of the people in rural areas” she said.
Ms. Kawandami who is accompanied by Director For Community Development, Mrs. Patricia Muyamwa, is happy that the concept will enhance protection of the environment, improve rural infrastructure such as roads, bridges and housing and equally improve other areas such as water and electricity supply, installation of communication and creation of communal facilities which will continue improving the lives of the people in communities.
