  • 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).

This review focuses on analysing railway freight services and provides a departure from other similar reviews through a critical review of the Zambia railway sector gaps. The study sought to review existing literature, reports, and online information sources on Zambia railway freight services by grouping challenges into thematic groups. Causal loop analysis is used to identify cause and effect relationships among challenges specific to Zambia. Findings indicate that Zambia’s railroad infrastructure quality score (2.4) benchmarks below the average mean score (3.5) of all countries in 2017 and further benchmarks below the income group ‘eight-year average’ mean scores on infrastructure quality and train efficiency. Zambia has been recording declining railway volumes in terms of ton-km over a 37-years period. Five main thematic areas are identified as the main challenges for the railway sector in Zambia.

  • 2.3 Zambia Road Network
    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.

  • Zambia's National Experience on Transport Corridors by Mrs. Irene Bm
    Republic of Zambia ZAMBIA’S NATIONAL EXPERIENCE ON TRANSPORT CORRIDORS BY MRS. IRENE B.M. TEMBO CHIEF PLANNER ULAANBAATAR, MONGOLIA 29 TO 30 OCTOBER 2019 1 Introduction Zambia is a landlocked country which is centrally located in South Central Africa and is surrounded by eight (8) neighbouring countries, namely Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The overall land mass of the country stands at 752, 614 Square Kilometres and has an estimated population of 16 million people. Zambia is categorised as a lower middle- income country with its Gross Domestic Product estimated at US$20 billion whose economy is largely dependent on copper mining. Efforts have been stepped up in the recent past to ensure a diversified economy and reduction in the Urban-Rural divide. Zambia’s central geographic location in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and Southern African Development Community (SADC) Regions has presented an opportunity for the country to be exposed to multiple import and export trade routes. These trade routes have been designated as regional development corridors by the Regional Economic Communities of COMESA, SADC and in the recent past including the East African Community (EAC) under the Tripartite arrangement. These trade routes traverse Zambia and provide access to all SADC Sea Ports, but remain largely unexploited. TRANSPORT DEVELOPMENT CORRIDORS In order to speed up regional integration and achieve development, the RECs decided to develop joint
