This was the fourth census since Independence in 1964. The other three were carried out in 1969, 1980 and 1990. The 2000 Census operations were undertaken with the use of Grade 11 pupils as enumerators, Primary School Teachers as supervisors, Professionals from within Central Statistical Office and other government departments being as Trainers and Management Staff.

  • By Managing Authority and District, Zambia 2010
    1 Zambia Service Availability and Readiness Assessment 2010 Summary Report 2010 Foreword Zambia has noted that among the top causes of morbidity and mortality are the following diseases and conditions: HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Other conditions that have recently been added to the causes of morbidity and mortality are non-communicable diseases such as diabetes etc. With international support in the recent past, there has been a huge scale-up in interventions to control these diseases. In order to assess sector readiness to deliver health care to the population, a service availability and readiness assessment was conducted on the availability and provision of health services and programmes. The results of the assessment indicate that there are some gains in the availability of equipment, medicines and commodities and laboratory diagnostics towards the provision of Child Health, Maternal Health, PMTCT, HIV/AIDS, TB, Malaria and Diabetes services. It is a clear testimony that a lot has been done in these areas i.e. the infrastructure has been laid and plans to improve these are underway. Consensus on programs has been reached, denial is slowly disappearing, stigma has been exposed and have targeted interventions towards these aspects. Major successes are foreseen in the prevention of infections to newly born children as PMTCT services have been scaled up to all levels of service delivery. The number of clients testing and being enrolled on ART is increasing. The only challenge remains among adults hence the need to ensure a major shift in the populations’ perception of sexuality and sexual relations. Malaria services have also been scaled up with almost all facilities confirming the Malaria cases through either RDTs or Microscopy tests.
