  • Environmental Project Brief
    Public Disclosure Authorized IMPROVED RURAL CONNECTIVITY Public Disclosure Authorized PROJECT (IRCP) REHABILITATION OF PRIMARY FEEDER ROADS IN EASTERN PROVINCE Public Disclosure Authorized ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT BRIEF September 2020 SUBMITTED BY EASTCONSULT/DASAN CONSULT - JV Public Disclosure Authorized Improved Rural Connectivity Project Environmental Project Brief for the Rehabilitation of Primary Feeder Roads in Eastern Province Improved Rural Connectivity Project (IRCP) Rehabilitation of Primary Feeder Roads in Eastern Province EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Government of the Republic Zambia (GRZ) is seeking to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the management and maintenance of the of the Primary Feeder Roads (PFR) network. This is further motivated by the recognition that the road network constitutes the single largest asset owned by the Government, and a less than optimal system of the management and maintenance of that asset generally results in huge losses for the national economy. In order to ensure management and maintenance of the PFR, the government is introducing the OPRC concept. The OPRC is a concept is a contracting approach in which the service provider is paid not for ‘inputs’ but rather for the results of the work executed under the contract i.e. the service provider’s performance under the contract. The initial phase of the project, supported by the World Bank will be implementing the Improved Rural Connectivity Project (IRCP) in some selected districts of Central, Eastern, Northern, Luapula, Southern and Muchinga Provinces. The project will be implemented in Eastern Province for a period of five (5) years from 2020 to 2025 using the Output and Performance Road Contract (OPRC) approach. GRZ thus intends to roll out the OPRC on the PFR Network covering a total of 14,333Kms country-wide.

  • Strategy and Corporate Services Directorate
    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.
