  • 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.

  • Self-Financing of Public Universities in Developing Countries: a Case of the University of Zambia
    SELF-FINANCING OF PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: A CASE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ZAMBIA BY AUDREY K. CHISENGA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ZAMBIA IN COLLABORATION WITH ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF EDUCATION IN EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITY OF ZAMBIA 2016 APPROVAL This Dissertation of Audrey K. Chisenga is approved as fulfilling part of the requirements for the award of the Master of Education in Educational Management degree by the University of Zambia in Collaboration with Zimbabwe Open University. Examiners' Signatures: Signed Date Signed Date Signed Date ii ABSTRACT This study was conducted in order to assess self-financing of Public Universities in Developing Countries, with a special focus on the University of Zambia (UNZA). The main purpose of the study was to explore the potential for self-financing and fixture prospects of UNZA. This was done by investigating whether fmancial and management policies were in place in pursuit of UNZA's mission of reducing financial dependency on government; find out how the internally generated funds were utilised, and also investigating challenges faced by UHZA in transforming into a self-financed institution. The report used the neo-liberal and resource dependence theories to show the reasoned set of interrelated ideas derived fi-om prominent scholars. The study employed a mixed embedded method, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Further, a study sample of 140 respondents was used. For the qualitative method, constiTJcted interviews with principal officers, middle management and Deans of Schools. Interviews were also conducted to collect data from two officers at the Ministry of Education as key stakeholders of UNZA.

  • A Critical Reflection on Imagining a Better Pentecostal Theology
    EXPLORING ECONOMICS NEO-PENTECOSTALISM AND SCIENTIFIC RATIONALITY: A CRITICAL REFLECTION ON IMAGINING A BETTER PENTECOSTAL THEOLOGY by PAUL SIMANDALA MAPANI submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF THEOLOGY in the subject Practical Theology at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROF. BALOYI MAGEZI ELIJAH YEAR OF FINAL REGISTRATION 2019 DECLARATION I PAUL SIMANDALA MAPANI Declare that Exploring Economics Neo-Pentecostalism and Scientific Rationality: A Critical Reflection of Imagining a better Pentecostal Theology in Livingstone is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of competence references. Paul S. Mapani Date: 16. January 2020 (Signature) ABSTRACT This study explored the lack of integrating a scientific imagination and rationality in the hermeneutic and theological practices of neo-Pentecostal churches in the town of Livingstone, Zambia. Although the vantage point of the study was primarily practical theology, the researcher adopted both an interdisciplinary and a multidisciplinary approach. This assisted the researcher in understanding the different theoretical nuances that inform neo-Pentecostal theological practices as propagated by its proponents. An in-depth scientific analysis premised on the critical theory approach was conducted to find out whether or not neo-Pentecostal communicative practices contribute positively to the economic conditions of local church members in Livingstone. The theological framework for this study was based on the “pastoral cycle”, which ought to be at the very heart of any contemporary practical theology (Ballard & Pritchard 2006). The research methodology consisted of data collection, interpretation and analysis (comparing and contrasting primary sources in the light of the data collected).

  • 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.

  • The Role of Private Higher Education Provision in Zambia: Changing the Higher Education Landscape in Africa
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 8 • No. 6 • June 2018 doi:10.30845/ijhss.v8n6p11 The Role of Private Higher Education Provision in Zambia: Changing the Higher Education Landscape in Africa Daniel L. Mpolomoka, Z Ambian Open University AMBIA Selina Band Mbono Vision Dube Zambian Open University Akombelwa Muyangana University of Zambia Esther Kanduza, Zambian Maina Kaleba, Zambian Open University Abstract This paper is anchored on the assumption that the world is approaching the end of two important international initiatives, the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2014) and the Millennium Development Goals (2015). Given such a scenario, Africa is gaining increased attention due to the innumerable challenges it faces in striving to achieve sustainable development. There is unanimity that African countries should improve their capacities to cope with emerging challenges. As a result, their higher education institutions need to drastically improve their own educational programmes and associated research facilities for training future generations of skilled personnel. This paper concludes by making critical observations on the general populace’s expectations of private higher education learning institutions. Keywords: Private higher education, Africa, Zambia, Learning Introduction The world we live in is radically changing from that of a couple of decades ago. It is an era of globalization, with growth of economic and social activities across national boundaries being common features. Berdahl (2008) outlines some of the major changes today, which include technological revolution in communications (the internet and large‐scale computerized information systems). Given such circumstances, both public and private institutions of higher learning face many challenges of local, national and global context.

  • 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.

  • Enhancing the Standard of Legal Education in Zambia: Challenges and Prospects
    ENHANCING THE STANDARD OF LEGAL EDUCATION IN ZAMBIA: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS BY DR CHIPASHA MULENGA, LLD, AHCZ EXECUTIVE DEAN – SCHOOL OF LAW, UNIVERSITY OF LUSAKA, ZAMBIA ABSTRACT The core of legal education should be to prepare students for the different roles they will assume after law school. This seemingly modest idea, however, actually creates a daunting challenge as lawyers’ roles are multifaceted. Where there is little attention paid to legal education, the result is a deterioration of standards thereby affecting the quality of law graduates produced by legal education institutions. It has been asserted that the standard of legal education in Zambia has not attained the required heights but has, on the contrary, over the years, gradually deteriorated. This contention mostly centres on fundamental aspects that legal education institutions have not, over the years, been addressed. To address this perception, accreditation of schools of law has been introduced as a mandatory requirement. It is argued, with optimism, that accreditation could be a panacea. Regrettably, however, accreditation does not appear to fully ameliorate the present state of legal education in Zambia especially that the empowering statute is fraught with frailties. There are, however, some positive aspects which, if addressed properly, would spur legal education to greater heights. The article, therefore, argues that legal education in Zambia is under siege and if the situation remains unaddressed, it could eventually lead to the collapse of legal education, however, the situation is not beyond reprieve. KEYWORDS: Accreditation; Higher Education Authority; Legal Education; Legal Education Institutions; Zambia Institute for Advanced Legal Education. 1 INTRODUCTION Legal education has a fundamental part to play in society.
