This is mainly through development of Railways, Roads, Air and Water Transport networks via trade development corridors under spatial development initiatives. This initiative connects Zambia‟s local transport networks with those in its region hence promoting both domestic, regional and international trade.

  • 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.

IRB protocol # 13090619 iii ABSTRACT They Have To See Us: an Ethnography of Deaf People in Tanzania Jessica Lee Department of Anthropology Thesis directed by Professor J. Terrence McCabe This dissertation explores the relationship between Tanzanian deaf people and mainstream society, as well as dynamics within deaf communities. I argue that deaf people who do participate in NGOs and other organizations that provide support to deaf people, do so strategically. In order to access services and improve their own lives and the lives of their families, deaf people in Tanzania move comfortably and fluidly between identity groups that are labeled as disabled or only as deaf. Through intentional use of the interventions provided by various organizations, deaf people are able to carve out deaf spaces that act as places for transmission of information, safe areas to learn and use sign language, and sites of network and community development among other deaf people.

However, ZAC has continued to make significant progress to contribute to the reduction of the malaria morbidity and mortality in line with the Government vision of a “malaria free nation” by 2015 and ZAC has been part of this progress with support from Episcopal Relief & Development. At community level, ZAC has continued to work with Malaria control agents and also with other stakeholders in the fight against malaria. Community engagement has contributed to this success over the years. In the recent past, there have been some new strategies to combat malaria in Zambia and ZAC has adopted these strategies that are aimed at pre elimination of malaria in selected districts namely Kazungula, Sesheke, Shangombo, Livingstone, Kalabo, Senanaga and Sikongo. These strategies include the “Testing, Treating and Tracking” of each malaria case. This is complemented by active surveillance of malaria cases by use of active and passive registers that have been introduced.

  • 2.4 Zambia Railway Assessment
    2.4 Zambia Railway Assessment Travel Time Matrix Railway Companies and Consortia Capacity Table Key Route Information Key Stations The Zambia National Railways are very important to the economy of the country as it is a bulk carrier with less effect on the environment than many other transport modes. The Government intends to expand its railway network in the country to develop the surface transport sector. Through the Ministry of Transport, a new statutory instrument (SI) was passed, which requires industries to move 30% of their carriage by rail. This is in a bid to decongest the road sector and possibly reduce the damage done by heavy duty trucks on Zambian roads. The development of rail routes linking important exit points is not only vital for facilitating smooth access to the outside but also for the overall boosting of trade in the sub-region and making Zambia a competitive country for business. Traditionally, the Zambian railways have generally operated well below their original design capacity, yet significant investment is underway to increase their volumes by investing in track conditions, increase locomotive and wagon availability and increase operating capital. The rail network remains the dominant mode of transportation for goods on the local and international routes but is under-utilized. The main railway lines are the Zambia Railways, owned by Government and the TAZARA line, linking Zambia with Tanzania, and jointly owned by the Zambian and Tanzanian governments. The opening of the Chipata-Mchinji railway link provides connectivity into the Malawi and Mozambique railway network and further connects Zambia to the port of Nacala.

Country and sector issues Public Disclosure Authorized 1. Tanzania’s Economy. From 2002 to 2008 Tanzania has experienced sustained growth of around seven percent thanks to the implementation, since the mid nineties, of a comprehensive economic reform program that has produced good macroeconomic performance and stability characterized by relatively high economic growth and low inflation. The global financial crisis has resulted in a decline in growth from 7.4 percent in 2008 to five percent in 2009. One of the country’s main challenges remains to translate economic growth into poverty reduction, with the country registering only a small decline in poverty incidence from 35.7 percent in 2000 to 33.5 percent in 2007. Key growth sectors are mining, construction, manufacturing, and tourism—all sectors that strongly depend on and generate transport.
