Ministry of Home Affairs has decentralized birth certification and the system is now available at provincial level.
Under the new system, birth certification is
available in Central, Southern and Copperbelt provinces.
According to the most recent survey DHS for a period between 2013 and 2014, only around 11 per cent of children under 5 in Zambia have registered for birth certificates.
And Emeldah Musonda, one of the first beneficiaries at the launch in Kabwe said its more than better now.
“We can save money, it's convenient and we no longer need to travel to Lusaka. We have the info on our doorstep now,” she said.
Ms Musonda received the certificate on behalf of her niece from the Minister of Home Affairs, Hon. Stephen Kampyongo MP.
