Where We Work

Right to Care Zambia is headquartered in Lusaka, Zambia, which is the base for our USAID Action to HIV Epidemic Control project.

The USAID Action to HIV Epidemic Control project is being implemented in the Northern, Muchinga and Luapula provinces.

Facilities and districts

We operate in 281 facilities, 31 districts and three reference laboratories in both urban and rural areas.

Our goal is to reduce HIV transmission, morbidity and mortality byproviding comprehensive HIV prevention, care and treatment maintenance services in the project provinces.

Decentralisation

We have a decentralised technical team which operates from district hubs to provide support, supervision, technical assistance and roving teams. These teams are supported by a regional team based in Kasama Town.

To improve responsiveness and maximise impact, Right to Care Zambia has:
  • established four district hubs in each province which means our expertise and technical support is close to health facilities and communities and
    set up a regional daily situation room which serves as an early warning indicator to direct technical assistance and resource allocation quickly.

Northern

Northern Province covers approximately one sixth of Zambia in land area, with a total area of 77,650 square kilometres. It shares borders with two other provinces – Muchinga and Luapula, and also with two countries – the Democratic Republic of Congo in the north and Tanzania in the north-east.

The provincial capital is Kasama. The province consists of 12 districts. It is widely considered to be the heartland of the Bemba, one of the largest tribes in Zambia.

Notable landmarks in Northern Province include Lake Tanganyika, Lake Bangweulu, and the corresponding wetlands, Lake Mweru-wa-Ntipa, and a number of waterfalls including Lumangwe Falls, Kabwelume Falls, Chishimba and Kalambo Falls.

Luapula

Luapula Province is named after the Luapula River and its capital is Mansa. The chief artery of the province is the Samfya-Mansa-Mwansabombwe-Nchelenge highway known informally as ‘Zambia Way’.

The province has an international border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) and domestically extends along the northern and eastern banks of the Luapula River from Lake Bangweulu to Lake Mweru. The province is inhabited by the Bemba, who are the major tribe in the country.

Bemba is also the most spoken language in the province. Luapula is home to the Mutomboko ceremony, and major landmarks such as Lumangwe Falls, Mumbuluma Falls, Mumbotuta Waterfalls, Ntumba Chushi waterfalls, Kundabwika Waterfalls, and Chilongo Waterfalls.

Muchinga

Muchinga is located in the northeast of the country and borders with Tanzania in the north, Malawi in the east, Eastern Province in the south, Central Province in the southwest, Luapula Province in the west, and Northern Province in the northwest. The administrative centre of the province is Chinsali. The name of the province originates from the Muchinga Escarpment, on which it predominantly sits.

Lusaka

Lusaka is the capital and largest city of Zambia. It is one of the fastest developing cities in southern Africa. Lusaka is in the southern part of the central plateau at an elevation of about 1,279 metres (4,196 ft). As of 2019, the city’s population was about 3.3 million.

Lusaka is the centre of both commerce and government in Zambia and connects to the country’s four main highways, heading north, south, east and west. English is the official language of the city administration, while Nyanja and Bemba are the commonly spoken street languages.
