The proposed project consists of the reconstruction of the Mpika- Tunduma section (235 miles) of the Great North Road and of the detailed engineering of the Luangwa river-Nyimba section (63 miles) of the Great East Road. The Great North Road forms a part of the Tanzam Highway linking the Zambian Copperbelt with the sea at Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Construction is already being executed under two contracts awarded in 1967 through inter- national competitive bidding, and was 35 percent complete as of July 1968. ii. This would be the second loan for highways in Zambia. In 1966, a loan of US$17.5 million equivalent was made to help finance the reconstruc- tion and/or engineering of other sections of the Great North Road and of parts of the Great East Road. Execution is proceeding satisfactorily, and was 60 percent complete as of June 1968. iii. Retroactive financing of part of the Second Highway Project is recommended. The possibility of Bank financing of the road sections was considered during negotiations of the first highway loan in 1966. At that time the political and transport situation in Central Africa was so uncer- tain that a Bank appraisal was impractical. However, execution of the project could not be delayed because of the transport crisis facing Zambia, and the Government proceeded with it late in 1966, on the understanding that the project would subsequently be appraised on its merits and that if proved to be justified retroactive financing would be recommended to the Executive Directors. In January 1968, the Zanbian Government submitted an application and the project was appraised in 14arch/April. iv. The total cost of the project is estimated at US$17.5 million equivalent. The UK has provided a grant of US$2.2 million equivalent toward the project, which covered total expenditures up to about March 1, 1968. The proposed Bank loan of US$10.7 million would cover the estimated foreign exchange costs of the part of the project not defrayed from the U.K. grant. Retroactive financing would amount to about US$3 million by October 1968. v. Execution of the project is the responsibility of the Roads Depart- ment. Construction is being supervised by consultants satisfactory to the Bank. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 1969. vi. The project forms part of a larger international program to improve the entire Tanzam Highway to suitable standards, with a view to developing transport capacity to the sea for landlocked Zambia. Because of the uncer- tainty with respect to various developments which could affect traffic de- velopment on the project road, a probability analysis of the economic rate of return was conducted. The results of this analysis indicate that the project can be expected to earn a rate of return of 15 percent, which is satisfactory. - ii - vii. During negotiations, satisfactory assurances were obtained from the Government that (1) the progran for the technical education and training of Zambian nationals will be increased with a view to ensuring an appropriate supply of Zambians qualifying for professional and other positions within the Roads Department, and (,2) the pavement on th.e project rcard will he strengtlened by overlay,s when an(' it'necessarz.. viii. The project is suitable for a Bank loam of UJ$,10.7 million to) the Government of Zambia. iAn appropriate loan term would be 20 years including a two-year period of grace. ZAMBIA APPRAISAL OF THE SECOND HIGHWAY PROJECT 1. INTRODUCTION 1.01 The Government of the Republic of Zambia asked the Bank in January 1968 to help finance the reconstruction of the Serenje-Tunduma section(382 miles) of the Great North Road and of the Rufunsa-Nyimba section (113 miles) of the Great East Road. The possibility of Bank financing of the road sec- tions was considered during negotiations for the first highway loan (469-ZA) in 1966. At that time, the political and transport situation in Central Africa was so uncertain that a Bank appraisal of the above road sections was impractical. However, due to the transport crisis facing Zambia, the Government undertook execution of the project on the understanding that the project would subsequently be appraised on its merits and that if proved justified, retroactive financing would be recommended to the Executive Directors. 1.02 A Bank appraisal mission visited Zambia in March/April 1968 and found the reconstruction of the 235 mile Mpika-Tundumna (Tanzanian border) section of the Great North Road ready for appraisal and suitable for Bank financing. The reconstruction works on the Serenje-Mpika section (147 riles) of the Great North Road, and the Rufunsa-Luangwa section (48 miles) of the Great East Road were let to contracts on a negotiated basis and are therefore not eligible for Bank financing. The detailed engineering of the Luangwa-Nyimba section (63 miles) of the Great East Road is not ready, and a preliminary economic analysis indicates that its reconstruction would yield only a marginal return. However, as the analysis is sensitive to costs, proceeding with the detailed engineering is considered Justified at this time in order to establish accurate cost estimates. Therefore, the detailed engineering of the Luangwa-Nyinba section is included in the proposed project. 1.03 This appraisal was carried out in conjunction with the appraisal for possible Bank/IDA lending of improvements to further sections of the Great North Road in Tanzania which links Zambia to the Tanzanian port of Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean. The Tanzanian part of the project will be submitted for consideration by the Executive Directors shortly. The appraisal is based on the findings of a Bank appraisal mission consisting of Messrs. E.V.K. Jaycox and L. Pouliquen, economists, and F. Soges, engineer, which visited Zambia in March 1968. Mrs. J. Comer, programmer-analyst, contributed substantially to the appraisal. 1.04 This would be the second loan by the Bank for road projects in Zambia. The first loan (469-ZA) was made in 1966 and covered the recon- struction of one section of the Great North Road and of two sections of the Great East Road. Performance under the first loan is satisfactory, and the project is expected to be completed on schedule and within the original cost estimates. Previously, the Bank made two loans for railways (NR-74 and RN-197) in Northern and Southern Rhodesia and two loans for power (RN- 145 and RNS-392) to the Central African Power Corporation jointly owned by Zambia and Rhodesia. Zambia has assumed responsibility for its share of these loans. - 2 - 2. BACKGROUND A. Economic Setting 2.01 Zambia is a landlocked country in Central Africa. With an area of about 291,000 square miles, it is comparable in size to France and West Germ.any combined.

  • 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.

  • Agrarian Changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia
    7 Agrarian changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia Davison J Gumbo, Kondwani Y Mumba, Moka M Kaliwile, Kaala B Moombe and Tiza I Mfuni Summary Over the past decade issues pertaining to land sharing/land sparing have gained some space in the debate on the study of land-use strategies and their associated impacts at landscape level. State and non-state actors have, through their interests and actions, triggered changes at the landscape level and this report is a synthesis of some of the main findings and contributions of a scoping study carried out in Zambia as part of CIFOR’s Agrarian Change Project. It focuses on findings in three villages located in the Nyimba District. The villages are located on a high (Chipembe) to low (Muzenje) agricultural land-use gradient. Nyimba District, which is located in the country’s agriculturally productive Eastern Province, was selected through a two-stage process, which also considered another district, Mpika, located in Zambia’s Muchinga Province. The aim was to find a landscape in Zambia that would provide much needed insights into how globally conceived land-use strategies (e.g. land-sharing/land-sparing trajectories) manifest locally, and how they interact with other change processes once they are embedded in local histories, culture, and political and market dynamics. Nyimba District, with its history of concentrated and rigorous policy support in terms of agricultural intensification over different epochs, presents Zambian smallholder farmers as victims and benefactors of policy pronouncements. This chapter shows Agrarian changes in the Nyimba District of Zambia • 235 the impact of such policies on the use of forests and other lands, with agriculture at the epicenter.

  • Can Design Thinking Be Used to Improve Healthcare in Lusaka Province, Zambia?
    INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE - DESIGN 2014 Dubrovnik - Croatia, May 19 - 22, 2014. CAN DESIGN THINKING BE USED TO IMPROVE HEALTHCARE IN LUSAKA PROVINCE, ZAMBIA? C. A. Watkins, G. H. Loudon, S. Gill and J. E. Hall Keywords: ethnography, design thinking, Zambia, healthcare 1. Background ‘Africa experiences 24% of the global burden of disease, while having only 2% of the global physician supply and spending that is less than 1% of global expenditures.’ [Scheffler et al. 2008]. Every day the equivalent of two jumbo jets full of women die in Childbirth; 99% of these deaths occur in the developing world [WHO 2012]. For every death, 20 more women are left with debilitating conditions, such as obstetric fistula or other injuries to the vaginal tract [Jensen et al. 2008]. In the last 50 years, US$2.3 trillion has been spent on foreign aid [Easterly 2006]; US$1 trillion in Africa [Moyo 2009]. Despite this input, both Easterly and Moyo argue there has been little benefit. Easterly highlights that this enormous donation has not reduced childhood deaths from malaria by half, nor enabled poor families access to malaria nets at $4 each. Hodges [2007] reported that although equipment capable of saving lives is available in developing countries, more than 50% is not in service. Studies have asked why this should be so high [Gratrad et al. 2007], [Dyer et al. 2009], [Malkin et al. 2011] the majority focussing on medical equipment donation. They suggest that it is not feasible to directly donate equipment from high to low-income settings without understanding how the receiving environment differs from that which it is designed for.
