The National Heritage Conservation Commission[lower-alpha 1] formally known as Commission for the Preservation of Natural and Historical Monuments and relics (National Monuments Commission) until 29th December 1989 is a governmental body concerned[1]
History
Untill 1996, the Commission only operated from Livingstone. However, after 1996, it decentralised its operations by opening four regional offices. The East Central Office based in Lusaka is responsible for the management and conservation of all heritage resources in Eastern, Central and Lusaka Provinces while the Northern Region, with its office based in Kasama, covers Luapula and Northern Provinces. The North West Office covers North-Western and Copperbelt Provinces and its regional office is based in Solwezi. Finally, Livingstone's based South West Office is charged with the task of managing heritage resources in Southern and Western Provinces. Among other objectives for this decentralisation programme was to bring conservation staff closer to where the heritage resources were located. Its long term objective was to enhance the effective conservation and management of Zambia's unique heritage.
