Preventing alcohol-related harm, together.
Alcohol Concern Zambia is a non-governmental organisation working with schools, employers and communities to raise awareness and promote prevention.
Who we are
Clear information, honest conversation, real partnership.
Alcohol Concern Zambia (ACZ) exists to prevent alcohol-related harm in Zambia. We believe that clear information, honest conversation and partnership can help people make informed choices and build healthier, safer environments at school, at work and at home.
There is growing concern in Zambia about the wide availability of inexpensive, highly potent alcoholic beverages — including products sold through informal and unregulated outlets near schools and workplaces. ACZ responds through prevention and awareness rather than blame, and works alongside the people and institutions best placed to make a difference.
