Restless Development is the global leader in youth-led development, with over 10 years of successful work in Zambia. Restless Development works in 11 countries.
Restless Development Zambia with a 5 year Memorandum of Understanding works in direct partnership with the Ministry of Education, implementing best practice youth models of development. Our latest model was included in the Bank of Zambia’s National Financial Education Strategy for Zambia, and also cited as a good practice model in National Assembly Report of Committee on Labour, Youth and Sports;
“Your Committee observes that the approach by the Restless Development Programme was unique in that it used the youths to work with fellow youths. The active participation of youths in the welfare of others was very encouraging and should be emulated by other organisations. Your Committee recommends that there should be more interaction between the youths and the leadership (traditional and political).” National Assembly Report of the Committee on Labour, Youth and Sport (adopted by the House on 22nd June 2012. We are RESTLESS DEVELOPMENT - The youth-led development agency. We are RESTLESS because, the problems of the world persist and we want to resolve them. Restless Development, a UK based Charity is the leader in the mobilisation of young people (and through the youth populations at scale) focused on their leadership in global development. Our strength comes from being led by young people and young professionals, from the boardroom right through to the field.
• Almost one in five persons in the world is aged between 15 and 24, the majority living in developing countries
• 64% of all Zambians, and 78% of rural Zambians, live below the poverty line, with little change over the last decade.
• More than 70 per cent of the Zambian population are young people
And, this huge cohort is most affected by the persistent problems facing the world, yet, frequently overlooked as being the ones to help work these issues out. We believe that young people are the solution. And we are here to channel the indisputably positive power of young people in order to bring about real progress. Our Goals Are
1. A VOICE
A nation where young people are active citizens, where institutions are accessible and responsive to young people, and where young people can influence those with power.
2. A LIVING
A nation where young people can drive sustainable economies, where businesses and governments invest in and learn from young people’s enterprise, and where young people achieve a decent, sustainable living
3. LEADERSHIP
A nation where young people build resilient and sustainable communities, where the agency of young people and communities is at the heart of both preventing and solving arising challenges and emergencies.
4. SEXUAL RIGHTS
A nation where young people realise sexual and reproductive rights for all, where policies, attitudes and services advance people’s sexual and reproductive health and rights, helping to end AIDS and enabling young men and women to be free from discrimination.

It is with deep sadness that Restless Development Zambia joins the family, friends, colleagues, and the wider community in mourning the passing of Mr. Innocent Nyambe, a valued member of our Board.
Innocent served with dedication, integrity, and a deep commitment to advancing opportunities for young people. His guidance, leadership, and passion for positive change made a lasting contribution to our organisation and the communities we serve.
Beyond his role as a Board Member, Innocent was a respected leader, mentor, and advocate whose warmth, wisdom, and generosity touched many lives. His unwavering commitment to service and community development will be remembered by all who had the privilege of working alongside him.
During this difficult time, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. Our thoughts are with you as you mourn and celebrate a life of purpose, impact, and service.

🙌 Shifting power also means shifting resources.
In 2025, we unlocked £2,076,813 to support 252 youth-led organisations and groups, putting resources directly into the hands of young people to lead.
📝 Behind that figure are young people tackling challenges they know best, strengthening their communities, and building solutions that reflect local realities. Because when young people have access to funding, they have the opportunity to lead on their own terms.
🌱 This investment is one example of how we're backing youth-led change around the world and why shifting resources is essential to shifting power.

No need to tear down or vandalise posters and campaign materials of any political party or candidate just because you don’t support them. Let’s keep it civil! Don't even tear down Electoral Commission of Zambia Voter Education Materials.
