The Citizens Democratic Party holds paramount the need for active participation of the citizens in governance. The success of the Seven Point Agenda rests in the effective implementation of the decentralization of political and economic power in Zambia. With greater autonomy, Provinces and Districts will adopt CDP's Seven Point Agenda and refine it to be regionally specific and relevant. The Citizens Democratic Party will also utilise the expertise and knowledge of our Zambian professionals and academicians in refining the intricacies and application of the national plan.

| The Citizens Democratic Party is more of an idea than the ordinary political party. Whilst we are to be described in the conventional terms as a political party, the way we intend to operate will be nothing close to the everyday politics as they currently exist in Zambia. We refuse to let our country’s future, be the victim of a history riddled with economic sabotage through the foreign scramble of our natural resources, misallocation of tax-payers’ money and corruption. Rather we choose to be the makers of a brighter future by altering the current political and economic structures, through the use of political power. Notice that we use the term “we” deliberately, as this will be a joint effort of the people, you as an individual included. It has been over four decades since our country attained its independence. The joy and future hopes which came with it have slowly diminished over the years, and Zambians have once again been marginalised to the position occupied before independence. Proper health care is more of a privilege rather than a right. Governance is limited to privileged elite. Our economy is dominated by foreign forces that are given preference over capable Zambians. We refuse to wait for grand happenings to initiate a change; rather we are getting the ball rolling this very moment. We appeal to you to get involved today by joining hands with CDP and reclaim your rightful place as a Zambian citizen. |

| If nothing else, the kind of political parties in Zambia are not resonating with the Zambian people. The real test of political parties in Zambia is not the personalities governing the party, but the values that the political parties believe in and stand for. The good news is that out of the ordinary Zambians, The Citizens Democratic Party, whose ideology is Putting People First, is born. Zambians are looking for something new. They are hungry for a different kind of politics, and The Citizens Democratic Party is here to provide that. Citizens, you deserve leadership that's commensurate to the challenges we face in our country, and we look forward to working with you to make this happen in the days, months and years to come. Get involved and join The Citizens Democratic Party today. |
The vision of the Citizens Democratic Party is to Put People First in a decentralized national government system that will be compatible with an economy that will guarantee Zambians a life of hope, freedom, and opportunity.... Read more... |

| Role of the CDP Government |
| The CDP government’s central role in a decentralized government system will essentially be that of formulating national policy, finance national public infrastructure, maintaining macroeconomic stability and strict enforcement of rules, laws and standards. Most of the implementation and regulation will be relegated to the private sector, provincial and local government. The Citizens Democratic Party government will work towards correcting the culture of the so-called policy mistakes which actually are deliberate and purposeful programs promoted by opportunistic, but not necessarily incompetent, civil servants and politicians seeking ways to enrich them. Red tape and bureaucracy will be reduced to a minimum and information flow maximized through the implementation of e- government at all levels. However, enforcement of laws, rules and regulations will be emphasized. The Citizens Democratic Party recognizes that without forceful enforcement, no matter how good the rules are in themselves, they are meaningless. |
