Backed by rich natural resources such as copper and cobalt, the minerals sector has for many years been at the forefront of Zambia’s expanding economy. Another prominent sector of the Zambian economy is agriculture, thanks to the country’s good soil and large tracts of fertile arable land. There is also an abundant hydropower resource to be found in the numerous lakes, dams and rivers. Efforts to further diversify the economy mean that increased attention is being given to the manufacturing sector for increased value addition to mineral and agro products and the tourism sector on the backdrop of abundant wildlife, numerous waterfalls and scenic beauty having great potential for further development.

Cattle sales, ploughing by oxen, the increase in cattle numbers and milk production appeared to be the most important returns (26, 21, 19 and 16 % of total gross returns, respectively). Local slaughter, manure and ox- power for transport played a minor role. The calculated costs were about a third of the gross returns. The net economic efficiency was calculated at RESSOURCES ANIMALES US$ 1.4 per ha per year. The kraal keeper's household (KKH), who owned 60 % of the herd, accrued 64 % from the total gross returns, incurred 73 % of total costs and accrued 58 % of the net returns. Average net returns to the KKH from cattle keeping, crops, sales of other farm produce and off-farm income were 50, 31, 6 and 13 % of the total household income, respectively.

  • 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.

    STRATEGY AND CORPORATE SERVICES DIRECTORATE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED LUSAKA TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION REHABILITATION PROJECT: WATERWORKS-LSMFEZ-CHAWAMA-CHILANGA-LUSAKA WEST SUBSTATION 132KV TRANSMISSION LINE PREPARED BY THE ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS UNIT ZESCO LIMITED FEBRUARY, 2018 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ZESCO Limited is a vertically integrated electricity parastatal registered under the Companies Act. ZESCO was established in 1970 and is wholly owned by the Government of the Republic of Zambia. However, ZESCO operates as an autonomous entity that is monitored by the Government, through the Board of Directors, to ensure that performance benchmarks are met. The Company is mandated to generate, transmit, distribute and supply electricity throughout Zambia. ZESCO proposes to undertake an electricity transmission and distribution system rehabilitation program with the view of improving the transmission and distribution infrastructure in the Country throughout ZESCO’s four Divisions namely Lusaka, Copperbelt, Northern, and Southern. Of critical importance under this project is the urgency to address the rehabilitation needs of Lusaka, considering that 40% of the non- mining loads are concentrated in this area. These rehabilitation works in Lusaka will be implemented through the Lusaka Transmission and Distribution Rehabilitation Project (LTDRP). Therefore, the proposed project will support the reinforcement of the existing transmission and distribution networks in ZESCO’s Lusaka Division, which includes Lusaka City and its surrounding areas. The rehabilitation works in Lusaka will have two sub components which are: (i) Component 1: Reinforcement of the 132kV Transmission Network; and (ii) Component 2: Rehabilitation of the 33kV and 11kV Distribution Network. This Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) addresses an activity under Component 1, which will be the construction of the Waterworks – LSMFEZ – Chawama – Chilanga – Lusaka West Substation 132kV transmission line.

  • Ministerial Statement the Status of FMD Countrywide.Pdf
    MINISTERIAL STATEMENT ON STATUS OF FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE COUNTRYWIDE BY THE MINISTER OF FISHERIES AND LIVESTOCK, MS MULENGA, MP Madam Speaker, I wish to thank you and the Leader of Government Business in the House, Her Honour the Vice-President, for giving me this opportunity to render a ministerial statement to update this august House and, indeed, the nation on the status of the foot and mouth disease (FMD) in the country and the measures taken so far to control the disease. This statement will also address the concern of the general public on this disease of socio-economic importance to the country. Madam Speaker, I wish to inform the House that there is an ongoing outbreak of FMD in the country. The House may wish to note that the first case was reported on 22 nd March, 2018, in Chisamba District and the disease was reported on fourteen farms. Later in the same month, the disease spread to Chibombo District. Experts from my ministry conducted laboratory diagnosis and confirmed the disease to be FMD caused by FMD virus serotype ‘0’ which was closely related to that isolated in Eastern Africa. This was the first time this particular virus was isolated and identified in the Central Zambia. Previously, FMD control programmes in the country were targeted at the FMD serotype SAT 1, SAT 2 and SAT 3. For this reason, the livestock population in the affected districts were highly naive, since they have never been exposed, to this new serotype and they had no previous vaccinations. Madam, allow me now to dwell on FMD symptoms and risk factors.
