President Hakainde Hichilema has congratulated German international broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) on its partnership with Zambia’s Diamond TV to launch Eco Africa, a program focused on climate change and environmental sustainability.
The President met with a DW delegation led by Managing Director Carsten von Nahmen, where he acknowledged the critical role of the media in fostering informed decision-making and development. He commended DW for its efforts in promoting Zambia, the region, and global issues, emphasizing the need for accurate and credible information in the digital age.
As part of the discussion, President Hichilema encouraged DW to showcase Zambia as an attractive investment destination, reaffirming the country’s openness to global business partnerships. He highlighted the importance of such collaborations in driving economic growth and positioning Zambia on the international stage.
The Eco Africa program, which DW produces in collaboration with various African media houses, aims to highlight key environmental challenges and solutions across the continent. Its launch on Diamond TV is expected to enhance awareness of climate change issues in Zambia while providing a platform for discussions on sustainability and conservation.
The partnership comes at a time when Zambia is prioritizing green policies and climate resilience efforts. By featuring stories on innovation, conservation, and sustainable development, Eco Africa is set to contribute to national and regional conversations on environmental protection.
