Johannesburg: AfricUpdate – News Desk
The Ministry of Technology and Science has embarked on the development of a comprehensive Communications Strategy, aiming to enhance public understanding of its work across key sectors. The initiative was formally launched by the Permanent Secretary, Eng. Dr. Brilliant Habeenzu, who highlighted the importance of effective communication in advancing the Ministry’s objectives.
Dr. Habeenzu emphasized that the Ministry’s mandate spans three critical areas: Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and Digital Technologies, Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI), and Skills Development. These sectors are central to Zambia’s socio-economic transformation agenda, though their full value is often underappreciated by the public.
He concluded by urging participants to contribute insights, offer constructive critique, and propose bold, solutions-oriented ideas to ensure the strategy includes all departments and institutions under the Ministry. Dr. Habeenzu thanked the Director of Human Resources and Administration, the Principal Public Relations Officer, and officials from the Ministry of Information and Media for their support before officially opening the workshop.
