ZAMREG educates Zambians on the government social programs that exist for them — CDF bursaries, Social Cash Transfer, FISP farming support, and more. Free information. Free forms.
The CDF is managed by the Constituency Development Fund Committee (CDFC) and applications are first reviewed at ward level by the Ward Development Committee (WDC).
It supports individuals through bursaries for vocational training and boarding school fees, and empowers groups through grants and loans for community projects.
📌 All CDF forms are FREE. Never pay anyone to obtain or process your form.
Four distinct categories — each with its own form, requirements, and target beneficiaries.
Vocational & technical training at TEVETA-accredited institutions.
Fees & boarding support for public secondary school learners.
Seed money for registered groups, cooperatives and clubs.
Repayable business loan for economic development.
Follow each step carefully — missing documentation is the most common cause of rejection.
Choose the correct fund — bursary, boarding, grant, or loan — based on your specific situation.
Collect your form from the WDC office or download it below for free. Never pay for a form.

CDF targets vulnerable citizens. Here is a quick guide.
The Social Cash Transfer programme provides regular, predictable cash payments to ultra-poor and labour-constrained households across Zambia. Payments are made monthly or bi-monthly depending on the district.
The cash is unconditional — meaning households can spend it on whatever they need most, whether food, school fees, medicine, or farming inputs.
Beneficiaries are identified through a community-based targeting process involving Community Welfare Assistance Committees (CWACs) and verified by the Ministry.
💡 SCT is NOT a loan. You do not repay it. It is a government support payment for qualifying households.
SCT beneficiaries are selected through community targeting — you do not apply alone. Here is how the process works.
Your Community Welfare Assistance Committee identifies ultra-poor households in your community through community meetings.
A government officer conducts a Proxy Means Test (PMT) to verify your household's poverty and vulnerability level.
Verified households are registered into the Social Protection Management Information System (SP-MIS).
The District Social Welfare Office confirms eligibility and approves beneficiary status.
Monthly or bi-monthly cash is received via mobile money (Airtel, MTN, Zamtel) or pay point depending on your district.
Requirements are assessed by the CWAC and government officers. Prepare the following.
FISP provides subsidized fertilizer and certified seed to small-scale farmers at the beginning of each farming season. The goal is to boost food production and improve the livelihoods of rural farming households.
Under the e-voucher system, eligible farmers receive a digital voucher that they redeem at approved agro-dealers for inputs of their choice within a set value.
Registration is done through your local Agriculture Camp Officer (ACO) before the season begins.
🌾 FISP runs each farming season. Registration typically opens between June and August. Do not miss the registration window.
Registration is done before the farming season opens. Here is the full process.
Visit your local Agriculture Camp Officer (ACO) when registration opens — typically June to August each year.
Fill in the FISP registration form with your personal, farm, and mobile money details.
The ACO verifies your eligibility: land size, residency, and that you have not benefited from duplicate programmes.
An e-voucher is sent to your registered mobile number for the subsidized input value for that season.
Take your e-voucher to an approved agro-dealer and select your fertilizer and seed within the voucher value.
