We welcome you to take a snap-shot of some accomplishments of the Project: “Support to Civil Society Organisations in Environmental Management in Zambia”, jointly funded by Finland and Denmark. The Project started as a novel way of channeling support to Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in the environment and natural resources sector. There was a lengthy planning period, which provided a platform for debate on how best CSOs in environmental management could be supported without compromising the independence to realise their role in society and at the same time working within Zambian Government policy guidance. Though for only 3 years in implementation, the project has provided useful lessons learnt. CSOs demonstrate their strength in complementing government through implementation of projects as well as advocating Zambian government, private sector and other stakeholders to fulfill their roles in contributing to a sustainable environment and natural resource sector. We hope you will be excited about the accomplishments presented in this booklet. We look forward to seeing similar type of innovations and green technology increasing in implementation as well as spreading all over Zambia. Growing green as a nation requires participation of all stakeholders and this booklet intends to strengthen the aspirations of Zambians to continue to work for a better and healthier environment for current and future generations.

  • Industrial Mineral Resources of Zambia
    Industrial Mineral Resources of Zambia Clive Mitchell, British Geological Survey, UK & Boniface Muibeya, Geological Survey Department, Zambia Abstract Zambia has for many years been heavily dependent upon the mining of copper which, combined with cobalt production, represents over 98% of mineral sales and 75% of export earnings (1997 figures). The industrial minerals industry within Zambia has therefore been inevitably tied to the fortunes of these two metals. The recent privatization, and break up, of ZCCM (Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines) has led to a resurgence in investment in the mining sector. Many analysts have predicted that there will be a positive effect on the Zambian economy, stimulating construction and infrastructure development and increasing the demand for industrial minerals. This paper summarises the available information on the industrial mineral resources of Zambia. Ten industrial minerals are described, with reference to some of the work carried out over recent years by the British Geological Survey, in conjunction with the Geological Survey Department of Zambia. Introduction Zambia is a landlocked country in central southern Africa which is bordered by Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia (Figure 1). It is a large country (752,614 km2) with a population of about 11 million people, mostly found within the urban centres of Lusaka, the Copperbelt, Kabwe, Kapiri Mposhi and Livingstone. Zambia is divided into nine provinces (Central, Copperbelt, Eastern, Luapula, Lusaka, North-Western, Northern, Southern and Western). It is dissected by four major river systems (Zambezi, Kafue, Luangwa and the Luapula). The road network is limited but well maintained between the main centres and there is a well-established infrastructure of domestic and international telecommunications.

JICA sent to the Republic of Zambia the Study Team from March 12 to 31, 2006. The Team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of the Republic of Zambia, and conducted a field study at the study area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made and the present report has been finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the Project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries.

Box 90444 Baluba Road, Luanshya ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF KAFUBU FARM NDOLA DISTRICT OCTOBER, 2013 PREPARED BY GREENLINE ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS LTD, LUSAKA +260 966/977-656697 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF KAFUBU FARM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview The government of the Republic of Zambia has in the past made pronouncements to make the agricultural sector the main economic earner following instabilities in copper prices and it being a non-renewable resource. GoldenLay limited is Zambian registered company incorporated on 6th July, 2007. In the last five years, GoldenLay Limited has undergone increased expansion coupled with high demand in its table eggs across the country. Due to this expansion, GoldenLay Limited identified Kafubu Dairy Farm as a potential site for the implementation of its expansion program given the fact that the farm had not been fully utilised to its potential in the last ten years. The Kafubu Farm project was also necessitated by the increased demand for Soya beans, Maize and Wheat which form a significant portion of raw material requirements for feed production for its poultry operations in Baluba. Project ownership status The project will be undertaken by GoldenLay limited. The following are the shareholders and directors of the company; NAME POSITION NATIONALITY Mohammed Bushary Managing Director Sri-Lankan Fletcher Michael Broad Operations Director Australian Peter Macsporran Non- Executive Director Zimbabwean Paul Wythe Non- Executive Director British NAME NATIONALITY % SHAREHOLDING GoldenLay Agri Limited N/A 99 Fletcher Michael Broad Australian 1 Project location Kafubu farm (formerly Kafubu dairy farm) is located in Ndola District of the Copperbelt Province.

Signed Date ……………………………………. …………………………………… …………………………………….. ……………………………………. …………………………………….. ..…………………………………. ……………………………………… ..………………………………….. iii ABSTRACT The post-independence political landscape of Zambia has been characterised by incidences of ethnicity and regionalism in party politics. However, ethnicity has not been the main defining factor in party preferences. Accordingly, there has been an important debate on whether some political parties were perpetuating ethnic politics. This study finds that, like elsewhere in a multiethnic country, the voting pattern in different provinces was not significantly different. Available evidence suggests that candidates usually performed better in the regions where they hailed from. While this was mainly the case in most elections, particularly at the presidential level, some political parties in general and politicians in particular applied the ethnic tag as a strategy of weakening their opponents‟ political base while at the same time mobilising support for their parties. Under such circumstances, the ethnic label was used as a political resource.
