Director of the National Arts Council of Zambia Appointed to IFACCA Board

The Director of the National Arts Council of Zambia has been appointed to the Board of the International Federation of Arts Councils and Cultural Agencies (IFACCA), marking a significant milestone for Zambia's cultural and creative sector.

The appointment was confirmed during IFACCA’s 9th General Assembly, held on Tuesday, 27 May 2025, in Seoul, South Korea, alongside the 10th World Summit on Arts and Culture.

With this appointment, Zambia joins South Africa as one of only two African countries currently represented on the IFACCA Board. This prestigious recognition not only elevates Zambia’s profile on the global cultural stage but also opens doors to international collaboration, funding opportunities, and policy exchange in the arts and cultural industries.

As part of IFACCA’s governance structure, the Zambian representative will contribute to strategic decisions that shape global arts and culture development, working closely with a diverse network of national arts councils, cultural ministries, and creative sector leaders.

As the Association of Musicians in Zambia, we wish to extend our heart felt congratulations to you Mr Chipindi on this huge achievement for our arts sector.

Congratulations to the National Arts Council of Zambia

Summary of the First Session: Promoting Zambia’s Tourism for Sustainable Growth

Today’s session was a pivotal moment for Zambia’s tourism industry, setting the tone for a future focused on sustainability and strategic growth.

The event began with warm and energizing opening remarks from the Master of Ceremony and Zambia Tourism Agency CEO, Mr. Matongo Matamwandi, who emphasized the agency's commitment to revitalizing tourism and showcasing Zambia’s rich natural and cultural heritage.

This was followed by an address from the Board Chairperson of the Zambia Tourism Agency Daan Brink, who reinforced the importance of strong leadership and collaboration across sectors to position Zambia as a premier destination in Africa.

The highlight of the morning was a compelling keynote presentation by Gillian Saunders, a renowned Independent Tourism and Hospitality Adviser. Her talk, "Enhancing Tourism Promotion for Sustainable Growth," was both insightful and timely.

She outlined innovative strategies for marketing Zambia’s unique offerings while emphasizing the critical balance between development and conservation. From harnessing digital platforms and data-driven promotion to strengthening community-based tourism and environmental stewardship, her presentation served as a roadmap for transforming Zambia’s tourism sector into a more competitive, inclusive and resilient industry.

This session reminded us all of the immense potential Africa holds and the urgent need for thoughtful, forward-looking promotion to ensure tourism remains a pillar of sustainable national development.
