  • Farmlime FARMLIME
    FarmLime FARMLIME SUMMARY: armLime (Low-cost lime for small-scale farming) is a multidisciplinary research project that aims to increase the food security of small-scale farmers by improving their access to agricultural lime. FThe basic concept was to locate suitable carbonate rocks in farming districts and produce agricultural lime using a low cost method, eliminating the high transportation costs that farmers currently incur if they use lime. The work was carried out in the small-scale farming districts of Solwezi and Mkushi in northern Zambia. Perceptions The commonly held view is that small-scale farmers do not use agricultural lime because it is expensive, difficult to get hold of and they don't appreciate its benefits. A socio-economic survey carried out in Solwezi and Mkushi confirmed some of these views but indicated that farmers knew the benefits of using lime and that uptake of agricultural lime could be encouraged. The main constraints on the use of lime were the absence of soil testing and a lack of cash in the rural economy. Lime Resources Carbonate rocks occur throughout Zambia including the farming districts with highly acidic soils. A technical evaluation programme found that the dolomite from Solwezi and Mkushi is suitable for the production of agricultural lime. It has a Neutralising Value (NV) of 103–104% Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CCE) and a magnesium oxide (MgO) content of 19–21%. Dolomite suitable for agricultural lime (minimum 80% NV and 6% MgO) occurs in seven of the nine Zambian provinces. Lime Production A low cost production method would be an ideal way to provide agricultural lime for small-scale farmers.

  • The Contribution of Dry Forests to Rural Poverty Reduction and to the National Economy: Zambia
    The Contribution of Dry Forests to Rural Poverty Reduction and to the National Economy: Zambia Technical Report Samuel Mulenga Bwalya Department of Economics, University of Zambia, Box 32379, Lusaka Tel# 260 1 290475, [email protected] The Contribution of Dry Forests to Rural Poverty Reduction and to the National Economy: Zambia Draft summary We have shown that forests and woodland resources contribute, on average, 21% to total production and income of rural households. Aggregating forest production and income to a national levels based on sample information is challenging task and by no means likely to be very precise and accurate. But scaling up sample estimates to the national level facilitates inter-sectoral comparisons and would sharpen our insights about the importance of forests and woodland resources in rural development and poverty reduction. Sample estimates and national statistics on the number of rural households is used to scale up and estimate the contribution of forest and woodland resources to the national rural household sector. We multiply the proportion of households harvesting a particular forest product by the total number of rural households in Zambia. This gives us an estimate of the number of rural household across the country that harvest forest a given forest product both for consumption within the household and for sell to obtain cash income. This estimate is then multiplied by the average value of each forest product harvested to obtain the total contribution of the forests sector to rural household economy. Because we ignore value addition along the supply chain and other forms of income and services households derive from forests, this estimate should be seen to represent the minimum contribution of forest resources to rural household sector.

  • Corporate Affairs and Business Development
    CORPORATE AFFAIRS AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT THE PROPOSED CONNECTION OF NORTH WESTERN PROVINCE TO THE NATIONAL GRID AT 132kV PREPARED BY THE ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS UNIT 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the Northwestern Province (NWP) ZESCO Limited supplies electricity to five districts namely Mwinilunga, Mufumbwe, Kabompo, Zambezi and Chavuma from isolated Diesel Generation Stations located in each district. The older districts (Mwinilunga, Kabompo, and Zambezi) have been on diesel power supply for over forty years now. Solwezi and Kasempa are the only two districts in the province that are supplied from the national hydro power grid. Power supply from the diesel power stations is characterized by high operational costs, inadequate capacity, very low reliability and high emissions. ZESCO Limited has therefore long sought to replace diesel generated power supply with reliable and cost effective power from the national grid by connecting all the diesel power stations to the grid. By the year 2000, ZESCO Limited was operating ten diesel stations country wide, but by 2007, four such stations had been replaced by grid supply while two new stations were installed in two newly designated districts. Despite having great potential for mining and agricultural development, NWP generally remains underdeveloped due to insufficient and unreliable power supply. It is against this background that the Government of the Republic of Zambia through ZESCO Limited, intends to connect the 5 NWP Districts still on diesel, to the National Grid at 132 kilo Volts (kV) through a transmission line network from Kasempa T-Off (Nselauke) to Chavuma and linking Mwinilunga to Lumwana. The main objective of the project is to replace the diesel generated electricity with hydro electricity by constructing a 132kV transmission line network which would be linked to the main national power grid.

Briefly describe any significant highlights/accomplishments that took place during this reporting period. Please limit your comments to a maximum of 4 to 6 sentences. During this reporting period, MCSP Zambia: Supported MOH to conduct a data quality assessment to identify and address data quality gaps that some districts have been recording due to inability to correctly interpret data elements in HMIS tools. Some districts lacked the revised registers as well. Collected data on Phase 2 of the TA study looking at the acceptability, level of influence, and results of MCSP’s TA model that supports the G2G granting mechanism. Data collection included interviews with 53 MOH staff from 4 provinces, 20 districts and 20 health facilities. Supported 16 districts in mentorship and service quality assessment (SQA) to support planning and decision-making. In the period under review, MCSP established that multidisciplinary mentorship teams in 10 districts in Luapula Province were functional. Continued with the eIMCI/EPI course orientation in all Provinces. By the end of the quarter under review, in Muchinga 26 HCWs had completed the course, increasing the number of HCWs who improved EPI knowledge and can manage children using IMNCI Guidelines. In Southern Province, 19 mentors from 4 districts were oriented through the electronic EPI/IMNCI interactive learning and had the software installed on their computers.

  • Geology and Correlation of the Central Irumide Belt B
    Journal of African Earth Sciences 35 (2002) 385–397 www.elsevier.com/locate/jafrearsci Geology and correlation of the central Irumide belt B. De Waele a,*, B. Mapani b a Tectonic Special Research Center, School of Applied Geology, Curtin University of Technology, Hayman Road, Bentley, WA6102, Australia b Department of Geology, University of Zimbabwe, P.O. Box MP 167, Mount Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe Accepted 2 October 2002 Abstract The Irumide Fold belt of Zambia consists of a Palaeo to Mesoproterozoic complex of gneisses and granite gneisses and a su- pracrustal sequence of quartzites and pelites. Although no direct correlation is possible, the metasedimentary sequence is tentatively equated with the Manshya River Group described in the NE. The basement to the Irumide belt consists of the Bangweulu Granites to the North, and the Mkushi gneiss basement (MGB) to the Southwest. Age constraints on the Bangweulu Block are limited, but the Mkushi Gneiss has been dated at 2050 Ma. A detrital provenance study on a quartzite of the Manshya River Group near Mkushi indicates derivation from terranes of up to 3180 Ma, with a maximum age for the Manshya River Group set by the youngest detrital grain at 1941 Ma. Detrital cores from paragneisses and migmatites in the Serenje area indicate a more uniform detrital source for the sedimentary protolith of 2050–2000 Ma. A more direct age constraint on the Manshya River Group has been provided through an age of 1880 Ma on a concordant rhyolite in the metasedimentary sequence near Chinsali. The Manshya River Group consists of a succession of four pelite and four quartzite Formations.
