Birth registration coverage for Zambians currently stands at only 11.2 per cent, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Ministry of Home Affairs Permanent Secretary Pamela Kabamba revealed this during a media workshop on civil registration in Chisamba yesterday where she also cited the UN Economic Commission for Africa in disclosing that millions of children under the age of five in Africa were not protected with legal documents.
