Objectifs :
The National Cultural Policy of Zambia aims to promote positive local traditions while discouraging negative practices, embedding democratic values and national unity at the heart of cultural identity. Its objectives focus on fostering respect for Zambia’s diverse cultural heritage, which encompasses over 70 ethnic groups, and ensuring cultural expressions contribute to social cohesion and development.
Mesures de restitution :
Restitution measures include increasing equitable access to cultural infrastructure for all citizens, regardless of gender or disability. The policy emphasizes the protection and viability of intangible cultural heritage elements, such as traditional ceremonies and acceptable rituals like initiation rites, through logistical support and safeguarding mechanisms. This approach ensures that these cultural practices continue to thrive and remain relevant in modern society.
Limites:
Limitations are implied through the discouragement of harmful traditions, promoting only those cultural values that align with democratic principles and national unity. The policy balances cultural preservation with the need to eliminate practices that undermine social progress or human rights.
