Preface The 2000 Census of Population and Housing was undertaken from 16th October to 15th November, 2000. This was the fourth census since Independence in 1964. The other three were carried out in 1969, 1980 and 1990. The 2000 Census operations were undertaken with the use of Grade 11 pupils as enumerators, Primary School Teachers as supervisors, Professionals from within Central Statistical Office and other government departments being as Trainers and Management Staff. Professionals and Technical Staff of the Central Statistical Office were assigned more technical and professional tasks. This report presents detailed analysis of issues on evaluation of coverage and content errors; population, size, growth and composition; ethnicity and languages; economic and education characteristics; fertility; mortality and disability. The success of the Census accrues to the dedicated support and involvement of a large number of institutions and individuals. My sincere thanks go to Co-operating partners namely the British Government, the Japanese Government, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the Norwegian Government, the Dutch Government, the Finnish Government, the Danish Government, the German Government, University of Michigan, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Canadian Government for providing financial, material and technical assistance which enabled the Central Statistical Office carry out the Census. Finally, we would like to show gratitude to the people of Zambia for co-operating in providing the valuable information, to the enumerators, supervisors, master trainers, provincial census officers, district census officers and to all others who contributed to the collection, processing and compilation of this valuable information in one way or another.

  • CHIEFS and the STATE in INDEPENDENT ZAMBIA Exploring the Zambian National Press
    CHIEFS AND THE STATE IN INDEPENDENT ZAMBIA Exploring the Zambian National Press •J te /V/- /. 07 r s/ . j> Wim van Binsbergen Introduction In West African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone, chiefs have successfully entered the modern age, characterized by the independent state and its bureaucratie institutions, peripheral capitalism and a world-wide electronic mass culture. There, chiefs are more or less conspicuous both in daily life, in post-Independence literary products and even in scholarly analysis. In the first analysis, the Zambian situation appears to be very different. After the späte of anthropological research on chiefs in the colonial era,1 post-Independence historical research has added précision and depth to the scholarly insight concerning colonial chiefs and the precolonial rulers whose royal or aristocratie titles the former had inherited, as well as those (few) cases where colonial chieftaincies had been downright invented for the sake of con- venience and of systemic consistence all over the territory of the then Northern Rhodesia. But precious little has been written on the rôle and performance of Zambian chiefs öfter Independence. A few recent regional studies offer useful glances at chiefly affairs in 1. The colonial anthropological contribution to the study of Zambian chieftainship centered on, the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute and the Manchester School, and included such classic studies of chieftainship as Barnes 1954; Cunnison 1959; Gluckman 1943, 1967; Richards 1935; Watson 1958. Cf. Werbner 1984 for a recent appraisal. e Copyright 1987 - Wim van Binsbergen - 139 - CHIEFS IN INDEPENDENT ZAMBIA Wim van Binsbergen selected rural districts,2 but by and large they fail to make the link with the national level they concentrât« on the limited number of chiefs of the région under study.

    ZAMBIA Food Security Outlook Update February 2012 Food security conditions remain stable as the lean seasons ends Key Messages Figure 1. Most likely food security outcomes, February - March 2012 Acute food insecurity is minimal as the lean season comes to an end in February. Large in‐country stocks and continued maize sales by the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) at fixed prices have kept maize and meal prices stable, benefiting poorer, market‐dependent households. Maize prices are expected to remain stable up to April and thereafter fall steeply as the new harvest starts entering the market and seasonal foods become increasingly available, reducing market demand. Isolated flash floods have been reported in Mambwe district and Kabwe Urban. District Disaster Management Teams under the coordination of the Regional Disaster Management Office are conducting assessments and assisting affected households. Source: FEWS NET/ZVAC Figure 2. Most likely food security outcomes, April - The country will carry large stocks of maize (~ 1 million MT) June 2012 into the next marketing season. Effective planning for storage of the new harvest is needed. Updated food security outlook through June 2012 Food security in Zambia remains stable following three consecutive surplus production seasons. Nine months into the 2011/2012 marketing and consumption season, the acute food security situation is generally favorable with only minimal food insecurity (IPC Phase 1). Maize supplies are good and no staple food shortfalls have been reported in any part of the country. This late in the marketing season, most households (both urban and rural) are dependent on the market for staple food. Market prices and supplies Source: FEWS NET/ZVAC For more information on the IPC Acute Food Insecurity Reference During the first half of the marketing season (May to October), Table, please see: www.fews.net/FoodInsecurityScale the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) purchased about 1.7 million MT of maize from small scale farmers, 30 percent above their target of 1.3 million MT.

  • Livelihood Zones Analysis Zambia
    Improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers LIVELIHOOD ZONES ANALYSIS A tool for planning agricultural water management investments Zambia Prepared by Mukelabai Ndiyoi & Mwase Phiri, Farming Systems Association of Zambia (FASAZ), Lusaka, Zambia, in consultation with FAO, 2010 About this report The AgWater Solutions Project aimed at designing agricultural water management (AWM) strategies for smallholder farmers in sub Saharan Africa and in India. The project was managed by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and operated jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI) and International Development Enterprise (IDE). It was implemented in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia and in the States of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal in India. Several studies have highlighted the potential of AWM for poverty alleviation. In practice, however, adoption rates of AWM solutions remain low, and where adoption has taken place locally, programmes aimed at disseminating these solutions often remain a challenge. The overall goal of the project was to stimulate and support successful pro-poor, gender-equitable AWM investments, policies and implementation strategies through concrete, evidence-based knowledge and decision-making tools. The project has examined AWM interventions at the farm, community, watershed, and national levels. It has analyzed opportunities and constraints of a number of small-scale AWM interventions in several pilot research sites across the different project countries, and assessed their potential in different agro-climatic, socio-economic and political contexts. This report was prepared as part of the efforts to assess the potential for AWM solutions at national level.

  • CITIZENHEARING REPORT on SDGS INITIATIVE for ZAMBIA. a CITIZEN DRIVEN INITIATIVE to MONITOR Sdgs IMPLEMENTATION in AFRICA
    CSO SDG Campaign/GCAP Zambia CITIZENHEARING REPORT ON SDGS INITIATIVE FOR ZAMBIA. A CITIZEN DRIVEN INITIATIVE TO MONITOR SDGs IMPLEMENTATION IN AFRICA. BY Dennis Nyati 6/29/2018 Project summary: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a continuation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that were implemented from 2000 to 2015. The new SDGs are different in that they are broader in their scope of eradicating all forms of poverty by calling for action by all countries, rich and poor, to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. More than 150 countries have pledged to mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities, and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind. The project by the African Monitor is about putting citizens at the centre of driving accountable implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The project will use citizen generated data, working with citizens’ groups and youth champions, to engage decision makers to demand delivery and accelerate e policy change. The project will support citizen-driven monitoring for policy change, where citizen-generated data informs SDG implementation, strengthens national and regional SDG review processes, and supports civic action for policy change at the national level. In addition, the project will support a regional civil society advocacy platform on SDGs, where the Africa CSO Working Group engages with and effectively shapes the agenda (policies, plans, and monitoring) for the implementation of the SDGS in Africa and globally.
