Zambia Page 1 of 8 Zambia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2003 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 25, 2004 Zambia is a republic governed by a president and a unicameral national assembly. Since 1991, multiparty elections have resulted in the victory of the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD). MMD candidate Levy Mwanawasa was elected President in 2001, and the MMD won 69 out of 150 elected seats in the National Assembly. Domestic and international observer groups noted general transparency during the voting; however, they criticized several irregularities. Opposition parties challenged the election results in court, and court proceedings were ongoing at year's end. The anti-corruption campaign launched in 2002 continued during the year and resulted in the removal of Vice President Kavindele and the arrest of former President Chiluba and many of his supporters. The Constitution mandates an independent judiciary, and the Government generally respected this provision; however, the judicial system was hampered by lack of resources, inefficiency, and reports of possible corruption. The police, divided into regular and paramilitary units under the Ministry of Home Affairs, have primary responsibility for maintaining law and order. The Zambia Security and Intelligence Service (ZSIS), under the Office of the President, is responsible for intelligence and internal security. Civilian authorities maintained effective control of the security forces. Members of the security forces committed numerous serious human rights abuses. Approximately 60 percent of the labor force worked in agriculture, although agriculture contributed only 15 percent to the gross domestic product. Economic growth increased to 4 percent for the year. -

Generally, each period of land tenure administration provided local people relative opportunities and challenges. The aim of this study was to establish the history of, opportunities to and challenges faced by local people in Chibombo district emerging from the 1995 Lands Act. Primary data was obtained through questionnaires, interviews and observations between August 2008 and 2012 involving 60 smallholder farmers around Chibombo (39 respondents) and Mungule (21 respondents) areas of Chibombo district. Through this study it was concluded that several individuals, from within Chibombo district and elsewhere, had obtained title deeds on customary land based on the 1995 Lands Act. Dominantly, among the local people who managed to obtain title deeds to their pieces of land over 70 percent were men. -

ZAMBIA Situation Report Last updated: 29 Jul 2020 HIGHLIGHTS (29 Jul 2020) The COVID-19 situation has deteriorated rapidly in July, with the Ministry of Health reporting a 175 per cent increase, from 1,632 cases on 6 July to 4,481 on 26 July. The number of deaths has quadrupled from 30 deaths on 6 July to 139 deaths as of 26 July, indicating a higher community transmission and severe cases not seeking treatment. Three new districts have confirmed COVID-19 infections, bringing the total to 38 out of 116 districts countrywide. On 21 July, Zambia’s Parliament was forced to adjourn as two Members of Parliament (MPs) died after Handwashing demostration at the Zambia National Public Health Institute (ZNPHI) reportedly testing positive for COVID-19 within the preceding week. Poor compliance by the public to recommended prevention measures, such as use of masks, hand hygiene and limited laboratory testing, remain key challenges to the COVID-19 response.

SUMMARY REPORT Assessment of the Zambian Barbet for Red Listing Purposes
SUMMARY REPORT Assessment of the Zambian Barbet for Red Listing Purposes Lizanne Roxburgh December 2007 Zambian Ornithological Society, PO Box 33944, Lusaka, Zambia AND Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch, South Africa Email: [email protected] Sponsored by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, the UK Partner of BirdLife, and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and the African Bird Club Assessment of the Zambian Barbet for Red Listing Purposes 1. SUMMARY The Zambian barbet is confined to the Southern and Central provinces of Zambia, and is Zambia’s only endemic bird species. The 2004 IUCN Red List Category for Zambian barbet is Near Threatened, but their current status, and distribution were poorly known. Therefore systematic surveys of this species were begun in 2006, in three regions: 1) the Kafue Flats and adjacent areas, 2) Kafue National Park (KNP), and 3) the eastern part of their range. During the surveys, I drove along roads and tracks, and collected data on habitat suitability for Zambian barbets at approximately 5 km intervals. I visited sites in 23 of the 28 quarter degree squares where barbets were historically seen. Sites were classified as suitable depending on the tree species composition and presence of sycamore fig trees, upon which Zambian barbets are highly dependent. I determined the habitat suitability of 397 sites. I searched for barbets in areas of suitable habitat by using playback of their calls and the calls of black-collared barbets. These two barbet species react to each others calls in regions where their distribution overlaps.
