    Republic of Zambia REPORT OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL ON THE REVIEW OF OPERATIONS OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2013, 2014 and 2015 Price: 60.00 REPUBLIC OF ZAMBIA REPORT OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL ON THE REVIEW OF OPERATIONS OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2013, 2014 and 2015 K60.00 REPORT OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL - REVIEW OF OPERATIONS OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES Preamble Local Authorities are public institutions established by an Act of Parliament under Section 3 of the Local Government Act, Cap 281 of the Laws of Zambia and are Government institutions. The main objective of establishing Councils is to provide services on behalf of Central Government to residents within their areas of jurisdictions. Currently, there are one hundred and five (105) councils spread out in all the districts. In this regard, Local Authorities are a key factor in socio-economic development because their operations are directly linked to community activities. An effective monitoring of their operations is, therefore, inevitable in ensuring sustainable economic and environmental development in the country. The Constitution of Zambia Amendment Act No. 2 (2016) devolves powers to the Local Authorities (LA) in the quest to decentralize the operations of Government as all the Government departments and institutions will now be managed at the local authority level. This therefore, entails that there should be greater accountability on the part of the local authorities as they will now be responsible for a lot of government resources for onward service delivery to the general citizenry. In this regard, Article 250 (1) (i) of the Constitution of Zambia Amendment Act No.

  • OP6 SGP Zambia CPS , Baseline Assessment
    1 GEF-SGP OP6 ZAMBEZI LANDSCAPE BASELINE ASSESSMENT REPORT Mulungushi University Kabwe March 2016 1 2 Executive Summary This GEF-SGP OP6 Zambezi Landscape Baseline Assessment report is a response to the call by the United Nations Development Programme Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (UNDP GEF SGP) for managing the environment and resources in Zambia. The call aims at supporting the creation of global environmental benefits and the safeguarding the global environment through community and local solutions that complements and adds value to national and global level actions. The baseline report attempts to provide the general environmental outlook of the Zambezi Catchment referred to as Zambezi landscape. Key areas of focus included Biodiversity, International Waters, Climate Change, Land Degradation and Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). These were analysed in the Zambezi Landscape covering Mwinilunga in North-Western, Sioma- Nangweshi in Western and Sinazongwe and Chirundu in Southern Provinces. This coverage represents the most parts of the Zambezi river catchment which is very important for cultural, fishery, touristic and hydro power generation for Zambia. Under this study, the landscape was categorised into three parts, Upper Zambezi, Middle and Lower Zambezi Landscapes. The baseline study findings reveal the status of the Landscape. In the upper Zambezi landscape of Mwinilunga district in North Western Province, the biodiversity is rich with thick forests, receiving high rainfall of over 1000 mm annually. There have been no significant variations in the amount of rainfall received over the past decade. Beekeeping is the one of the major livelihood activities with over 5000 beekeepers who largely practice traditional beekeeping by making hives using tree barks.

  • Opportimising Use of the Barotse Flood Plain for Socio – Economic Development of Western Province, Zambia (Conference ID: CFP/703/2018)
    The International Journal of Multi-Disciplinary Research ISSN: 3471-7102, ISBN: 978-9982-70-318-5 Opportimising Use of The Barotse Flood Plain for Socio – Economic Development of Western Province, Zambia (Conference ID: CFP/703/2018) Author: Mr. Siyupwa Kabisa [email protected] Student: BSc Agriculture Sciences, School of Engineering Information and Communications University, Zambia Abstract The natural environment of the Barotse Flood Plains is characterised by annual floods that occur between December and July with loss of crops due to flooding being a common annual occurrence that results in food insecurity. The main economic activities on the Barotse flood plains are crop husbandry, livestock rearing and fishing. However, these activities have been conducted at subsistence level for hundreds of years as people have not found the best way of dealing with floods. With the increase in the number of people there is need to look at more sustainable ways of accelerating socio – economic development on the flood plains. This paper seeks to discuss the possibility of opportimising use of the Barotse Flood Plain for socio – economic development of Western Province, Zambia. The vulnerability and resilience of the people of Barotse land are examined particularly to suggest how best we could improve production and productivity with regards to crop cultivation, livestock farming and fishing as major socio-economic activities that can be easily adapted to this environment. This study is about the flood plain that stretches from Lukulu in the north to Senanga in the south found on either sides of the might Zambezi River. The actual study area is Limulunga, Mongu, Kalabo and Nalolo districts.
