He said ethical and professional responsibility underscore the importance of maintaining transparency, honesty and integrity in communication practices.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Hamaundu was speaking in Lusaka on Friday, February 16, 2024, at Legacy Resort when he officially opened a two-day Continuous Professional Development (CPD)<\/p>\n<p>Training on Ethics and Professional Responsibility in PR. More than 70 PR and Communication Specialists across Zambia attended the Training which was hosted by the Zambia Institute of Public Relations and Communication<\/p>\n<p>(ZIPRC) in partnership with University of Zambia (UNZA). Mr Hamaundu said ethical conduct is more critical in today\u2019s fast paced and<\/p>\n<p>interconnected world where information spreads rapidly across various channels. \u201cAs PR and Communication practitioners in Zambia, you must uphold the highest<\/p>\n<p>standards of professionalism and ethical conduct in your communication endeavors for the betterment of society and the nation at large,\u201d Mr Hamaundu said.<\/p>\n<p>He also reiterated his call for PR practitioners in local authorities to enhance the dissemination of accurate and balanced information to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Hamaundu said communicators are cardinal as they are the ears and faces of different institutions in the country. He said effective communication serves as a catalyst for social cohesion, economic<\/p>\n<p>growth and good governance. Mr Hamaundu said PR and Communication play a pivotal role in engaging citizens, fostering community participation and promoting sustainable development initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the same event, ZIPRC Vice President Mwiika Malindima said the Training is a milestone in the Institute\u2019s ongoing commitment to enhance the standards of the<\/p>\n<p>profession. Mr Malindima said ethics and professional responsibility are key pillars of the PR and Communication profession. He thanked the Government of the Republic of Zambia for its unwavering support to<\/p>\n<p>ZIPRC and its commitment to advancing the field of PR and Communication in the country. ZIPRC Registrar and Chief Executive Officer, Nimon Muleya, thanked facilitators and attendees for supporting the first CPD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
