2.3 Zambia Road Network Distance Matrix Road Security Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits The country shares its borders with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, and Angola. About one half of the population is concentrated in a few urban zones strung along the major transportation corridors, while rural areas are under- populated. Zambia has a road network of approximately 67,671 km, of which 40,454 km is core road network and only about 15% is paved. The hub and spoke design of the road network has Lusaka as the hub. Virtually all trunk highways go through Lusaka. Traveling from the north to south or vice versa, is extremely difficult as the road conditions prevent by passing Lusaka to a great extent. The trading corridors are paved and in good condition. Main trading corridors 1. Chirundu border with Zimbabwe in the south via Lusaka to the Copperbelt Province (Ndola, Kitwe in the center north – T2 to T3). T3 continues to Mwinilunga on the Angolan border in the northwest. 2. Chirundu border via Lusaka along the T2 to Tanzania at Tunduma. 3. Lusaka via T4 to Chipata on the Malawi border Secondary corridors 1. Livingstone in the south west at the border with Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe to Lusaka (T1 to Lusaka - Tourism main industry). 2. M1 from Mpika in Muchinga Province (at the intersection of T2 and M1) to the northern border with Tanzania at Mbala. Extensive investment was made by the World Bank on the rehabilitation of about 105km of a section of trunk road between Lusaka and the Zambia /Zimbabwe border town of Chirundu, as well as the construction of Chiawa and Mufuchani bridges. The main natural resource is copper and the road network is integral for the export of the copper from the north central Province called the Copperbelt. This road network from Ndola to the south will be undergoing significant investment by the Zambian Government. Copper mining companies move copper from the Copperbelt Province by road to Ports throughout the Southern Africa region year round using all of the border crossings in the west, and south. Secondary roads are mostly gravel or a mix of gravel/sand/dirt and subject to damage from the rainy season floods and usage. These roads while essential for internal distribution of goods for the country are reasonably maintained. However, the Tertiary roads require off-road capability especially in the rainy season and can be impassable, maintenance is not as regular. Page 1 Main challenges are in the rural areas and especially along the border areas. In the south west the roads tend to be primarily sand/gravel mix and are very difficult to navigate even in the dry season. Along the eastern border with Malawi the roads are hilly to valley bottom and subject to washout and flooding in the rainy season with only 4x4 car access for the most part.

In border areas with DRC security issues tends to be more visibly present. Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits The Zambian Load Limits policy dates from 2007. The Road Development Agency (RDA) through the Axle Load Control Unit operates the static and portable weighbridges. It employs a Vehicle Overload Management Information System where all electronic weighbridges are linked to a database at the RDA Headquarters enabling real time monitoring and access to all weighbridges remotely. CCTV cameras are at all weighbridges as well as speed cameras in highway roads The Unit operates eight fixed weighbridges spread around the critical points on the road network and more expected to be commissioned in some provinces. Six of the eight weighbridges, namely Kapiri Mposhi, Kazungula, Livingstone, Solwezi, Kafue and Mpika weighbridges are electronic, while the rest namely Kafuluafuta and Mwami are mechanical. In addition the unit has three Mobile Inspectorate teams which carry out highway spot checks using portable weighbridges. Two Inspectorate teams are based in Lusaka and one is in the Copperbelt Province.

    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.

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.

  • National Investment Plan to Reduce Deforestation and Forest Degradation (2018-2022)

    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).
