Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Chirundu District Commissioner, Patrick Kasambila says the newly introduced digital payment of Social Cash Transfers to the beneficiaries will enhance accountability and credibility of the programme.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kasambila said the Department of Social Welfare is using the automated payment system called \u201cZambia Integrated Social Protection Information System (ZISPIS) in order to improve the delivery system.<\/p>\n

The District Commissioner was speaking when he officially flagged off the automated Social Cash Transfer to the beneficiaries in Kapululira area, in the outskirts of Chirundu district.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Chirundu District Social Welfare Officer, Charity Tembo outlined some of the benefits the automated payment will bring to the beneficiaries.
