In a continued partnership between the Zambia Police and Standard Chartered Bank, 50 female junior police officers and civilian staff have undergone training in Financial Literacy under the bank’s Diversity and Inclusion Council.
Speaking when she graced the Financial Literacy Education at Lusaka’s Pamodzi Hotel, Inspector General of Police, Ms Stella Libongani said her office has prioritized officers welfare, stating that financial literacy was a catalyst for personal financial discipline and management.
The Inspector General urged the female police officers to take advantage of the many opportunities being offered to women to participate in the economic growth of the nation and make financial literacy education as the first step in preparation to participate in the programs that favour women development.
“It is a well acceptable fact that when you educate a woman you educate the whole nation, so I urge all the participants of this training programme not to overlook the importance of financial literacy and financial education in their individual lives, the welfare of their families and the wellbeing of all individuals in the country,” Ms Libongani said.
