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.

National Investment Plan to Reduce Deforestation and Forest Degradation (2018-2022)
Republic of Zambia Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources National Investment Plan to Reduce Deforestation and Forest Degradation (2018-2022) November 2017 -i- Executive Summary Zambia has approximately 49.9 million hectares of forest, representing approximately 66 percent of its total land mass and is subsequently one of the most forested countries in southern Africa. However, deforestation is a major problem, with annual rates estimated at around 250,000 to 300,000 hectares. Such numbers amount to the potential loss of 10 million hectares of forest in the next 30 years (IDLO, 2014). The key drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in Zambia are agricultural expansion (commercial and subsistence), heavy reliance on wood fuel – energy demand (charcoal and firewood), unsustainable timber extraction (both legal and illegal) and infrastructure development (e.g., mining and other large infrastructural developments). A study by UN-REDD, (2015) on the economic value of Zambia’s forest ecosystems showed that the direct and indirect values of forests are estimated to make a direct contribution equivalent to about 4.7% of gross domestic product (GDP) or US$957.5 million (using 2010 figures). However, when the multiplier effects of forestry and tourism-related activities on other sectors are considered, the overall or economy-wide contribution of forests to GDP is estimated to be at least 6.3% or US$1,277 million (Table 1). Forests are estimated to provide at least 1.4 million jobs, supporting 60% of rural Zambian households, heavily dependent upon the use of natural resources to supplement or sustain their livelihoods (UN-REDD., 2015).

Mwami Adventist Hospital, Zambia Photo courtesy of Moses M. Banda. Mwami Adventist Hospital MOSES M. BANDA Moses M. Banda , M.A. (Zambia Open University, Lusaka, Zambia), B.A. in theology (Rusangu University), serves as president of East Zambia Field of Seventh-day Adventists. He is an ordained minister and has served in various positions for 20 years. He is married to Eness with whom he has two children. Mwami Adventist Hospital is a medical institution of the Southern Zambia Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Developments that Led to the Establishment of the Institution As early as 1913, C. Robinson yearned to secure a foothold in north-east Rhodesia; somewhere near Fort Jameson (now Chipata).1 On October 2, 1925, G. A. Ellingworth of Malamulo Mission acquired a farm of 3,035 acres, on which Mwami Mission station was established.2 Between 1925 and 1927, Samuel Moyo served as the mission station director. He was respected and regarded as one of God’s gentlemen. In 1927, the final transaction for the tract of the farmland situated between Fort Manning and Fort Jameson was concluded. The farm had three streams, good soil, and pastureland that could support a small herd. It had previously been a tobacco farm, with many old brick buildings. The unusable buildings were still valuable in that they contained 200,000 good bricks, needed for mission buildings.3 Mwami Adventist Hospital was established as an extension of medical missionary work conducted at Malamulo Mission in Malawi.4 Mwami is 480 kilometers from Malamulo, and 30 kilometers southeast of Chipata, the provincial capital city of the Eastern Province of Zambia, in the Luangeni constituency along Vubwi Road.5 The mission was named after the Mwami stream, which flows through the mission farm.6 The Mwami stream originates from the eastern side of Mkwabe mountain, then deviates northwards through the Mwami Dam until it crosses Vubwi Road near Lufazi Village.

Terms of Reference for Chipata/Mchinji Dry and Liquid Port
LOT N° 2: REQUEST N° SPECIFIC TERMS OF REFERENCE FEASIBILITY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERMODAL DRY PORT IN CHIPATA, ZAMBIA 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 Sugar Reform The sugar industry plays a crucial role in the Zambian economy. The industry provides an important source of income ands employment in rural areas, as well as foreign exchange, thanks to the sale of large proportion of the industry's output to export destinations, including the EU. In Zambia, the sugar sector contributes to 3-4% of the GDP and 6% of the National Export Earnings1. As a low cost producer, the sugar industry has the potential to increase its contribution to Zambia's socio- economic development. The 2006 EU sugar sector reform has involved a reduction of EU sugar prices and has required significant adjustment in ACP countries signatories to the Sugar Protocol, which was providing duty free access for sugar, at a guaranteed price. In the light of the reform, Zambia has initiated a reorientation and restructuring of its sugar industry. An adaptation strategy for the Sugar Industry in Zambia has been developed in 2006. It sets out relevant projects that will consolidate and improve the future competitiveness of the Sugar Industry in Zambia. The main areas of intervention include: • The expansion of sugar production through Outgrower Schemes; • A diversification strategy: particularly based on ethanol production for fuel blending and gel fuel, and encouragement of the co-generation of electricity; • The facilitation of improvements to and cost reductions on sugar trade routes; • The development of a sugar trade policy. On this basis, the European Commission has allocated €562,000 to Zambia as "Accompanying measures 2006 for Sugar Protocol Countries".
