Declarations
:
: This study was part of the PhD project that received ethical approval from the Excellence in Research Ethics and Science Converge Ethics Committee as well as the Zambia National Health Research Authority (ref. no. 2019-Dec-007) in 2021. This approval was renewed in the 2023 (ref. no. 2023 – Jul – 045). Additionally, we obtained permission from the respective ministry permanent secretaries, CSO heads, and quasi-government institution leaders to conduct the interviews. We provided the participants with information to clarify the benefits and risks of the study. All interviews were held at the participant’s places of work so there was no requirement for transport refund. To maintain confidentiality, we used participant codes.
