Why we chose CAFA Young Ambassadors?
The name of our group comes from a prominent copper slag dump in Zambia. This site- black mountain- is located in Kitwe, Copperbelt Province which is the same town as our university’s main campus is located.
We were drawn to this name for a number of reasons namely:
- The ‘ Black Mountain’ is a place that stands out whenever one is in Kitwe and we would like our advocacy to mitigate Antimicrobial Resistance to be something that stands out and no one can miss.
- The ‘Black Mountain’ is something that causes the ordinary Zambian to think of Kitwe and we would like to acknowledge the town since it is where our university is located.
- Black Mountain has been a site where a good number of youths have sought to mine so as to better their fortunes and we think of this program of being a treasure that if we mine wisely will make us better people- through interactions with others and the skills and knowledge that we will pick up throughout the course of the program

OUR STORY
We all happen to have a common interest in becoming a part of the positive change that goes on in our communities and the world. This is something that we have recognized in each other and so influenced our decision to do this together when the opportunity came about. Aside from the fact that we’re at the same University, we all happen be part of The Copperbelt University Debate Society, where we got acquainted with each other. In November 2021, we had the opportunity to be part of the Zambia National Public Health Institute‘s (ZNPHI) World Antimicrobial Awareness Week Debates. At the end of the program, we expect to gain adequate knowledge on the subject of AMR so that our advocacy and being ambassadors will be backed by a well-rounded understanding of the subject. To this end, we will also be able to carry out AMR education in different communities starting from our most immediate environments and beyond.
Another expectation is to be equipped with the relevant skills that will enable us in championing the fight against AMR by providing novel solutions to the antimicrobial resistance threat in our country and indeed, the globe. Graphic design: We can use this skill to project visual communications about AMR in a creative way that will ensure AMR awareness reaches everyone. This could be further done by the use of infographics, social media posts, t-shirt prints, flyers and putting up banners, billboards and posters not only in hospitals but also in many other public places. Healthcare practitioners, the agriculture sector and associated professionals have been the focus of AMR campaigns of the past. Community-centred approaches have the advantage of reaching populations directly, and eye-catching/informative information goes a long way in changing mindsets.
