During this time, Gudbrand was responsible for Norwegian support to LIRDP/SLAMU and was instrumental in securing financial support and encouragement for this work. Fidelis Lungu and Richard Bell were co-Directors of LIRDP during its initial stages. They pioneered the project through its birth and faced the difficult political and institutional challenges that characterized the introduction of this experimental new approach Flywell Munyenyembe was project Director through Phases 3 and 4 and steered LIRDP/SLAMU through the huge task of re-structuring and refocusing. Wherever they are now, we hope they will remember the ‘Valley’ through this poem. THE LUANGWA RIVER Look over there. What can you see? Luangwa River, flowing from the north east to the south of our lovely Luangwa Valley. Look at its beauty, the grass and trees which grow so lush. Buffaloes will graze, birds will swim, feed and bathe. But what do I see or hear? People disturb the catchment area. Please, please man. Stop doing that and live as one forever.

  • Country Profile Republic of Zambia Giraffe Conservation Status Report
    Country Profile Republic of Zambia Giraffe Conservation Status Report Sub-region: Southern Africa General statistics Size of country: 752,614 km² Size of protected areas / percentage protected area coverage: 30% (Sub)species Thornicroft’s giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis thornicrofti) Angolan giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis angolensis) – possible South African giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa) – possible Conservation Status IUCN Red List (IUCN 2012): Giraffa camelopardalis (as a species) – least concern G. c. thornicrofti – not assessed G. c. angolensis – not assessed G. c. giraffa – not assessed In the Republic of Zambia: The Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) is mandated under the Zambia Wildlife Act No. 12 of 1998 to manage and conserve Zambia’s wildlife and under this same act, the hunting of giraffe in Zambia is illegal (ZAWA 2015). Zambia has the second largest proportion of land under protected status in Southern Africa with approximately 225,000 km2 designated as protected areas. This equates to approximately 30% of the total land cover and of this, approximately 8% as National Parks (NPs) and 22% as Game Management Areas (GMA). The remaining protected land consists of bird sanctuaries, game ranches, forest and botanical reserves, and national heritage sites (Mwanza 2006). The Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA TFCA), is potentially the world’s largest conservation area, spanning five southern African countries; Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, centred around the Caprivi-Chobe-Victoria Falls area (KAZA 2015). Parks within Zambia that fall under KAZA are: Liuwa Plain, Kafue, Mosi-oa-Tunya and Sioma Ngwezi (Peace Parks Foundation 2013). GCF is dedicated to securing a future for all giraffe populations and (sub)species in the wild.

  • 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.

  • Wildlife Policy in Zambia's Second Republic, 1972-1982
    DEFYING A DICTATOR: WILDLIFE POLICY IN ZAMBIA'S SECOND REPUBLIC, 1972-1982 by Clark C. Gibson Paper to be presented at the Fall 1994 Mini-Conference, Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis, December 10 and 12, 1994. 2 DEFYING A DICTATOR: WILDLIFE POLICY IN ZAMBIA'S SECOND REPUBLIC, 1972-1982 A precipitous fall in the price of copper significantly decreased the Zambian government's revenues in 1975. To counteract these losses, the government pursued monetary policies that fueled inflation. Incomes dwindled. Many Zambians chose to augment their incomes by entering the market for wildlife products. As a result, a wave of poaching swept through Zambia as hunters killed animals for trophies and meat. Coincident with the wildlife crisis, Zambia switched from a multiparty to a one-party system of government, concentrating power in the President. President Kaunda and his closest advisors became the dominant policymakers in Zambia at the expense of other government and party officials. Similar to the politics of other African one-party states, Kaunda's proposals sailed through party and parliament, whose members feared the President's considerable power. But President Kaunda faced consistent opposition to his wildlife policy. The incentives generated by the new economic and political institutions encouraged members of both the Party and government to sabotage Kaunda's call for stiffer penalties and broader regulation. From 1972-82 President Kaunda attempted to stem the illegal hunting of animals by threatening potential poachers with the loss of their government or party jobs, circumventing normal bureaucratic channels to increase anti-poaching activities, appointing strong individuals to key political positions, pushing for a new government agency to investigate poaching crimes and introducing stronger anti-poaching legislation to the National Assembly.
