The RFPS was finalized in 2012 and approved by Cabinet in 2013. To oversee the implementation of the RFPS, the Rural Finance Unit (RFU) was created in 2018 within the Ministry of Finance under the Investments and Debt Management Department. RFU is mandated to provide policy oversight, develop and coordinate strategies that govern the rural finance sub-sector in Zambia. In order to execute its mandate effectively, RFU saw it fit to disseminate information about the RFPS to various stakeholders and the general public. This was with the view of creating awareness among the stakeholders who would, in turn, support the implementation of the policy as well as providing a feedback loop necessary for the review and possible amendment of the policy and strategy. It is from this perspective that the Ministry of Finance, through RFU held a three-day sensitization workshop to disseminate the RFPS to selected stakeholders, whom among others included Members of Parliament, Government Ministries, Financial Sector Regulators, Financial Service Providers, and other identified Strategic Partners. The meetings were supported by the Rural Finance Expansion Programme (RUFEP). The official opening of the workshop was graced by the First Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon Catherine Namugala, MP, the Secretary to the Treasury, Mr. Fredson K. Yamba and the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mrs. Cecilia N. Mbewe. In her opening speech, the First Deputy Speaker acknowledged the importance of rural finance in wealth distribution and economic growth, especially that the majority of Zambia’s population is rural-based. She further pointed out that lack of access to finance limits the scope for economic expansion of rural areas. The First Deputy Speaker, therefore, applauded the development and implementation of the RFPS which she believed would play a critical role in alleviating rural poverty provided its implementation was efficient. However, the First Deputy Speaker noted that seven years had passed since the RFPS was developed and questioned why it had taken long for the Ministry of Finance to create awareness about the document. The Secretary to the Treasury in his speech highlighted some of the challenges faced in the space of rural finance which includes lack of consumer awareness and financial literacy on the demand side and low human resource competency in structuring appropriate financial services and products for rural and agricultural activities. He, therefore, pointed out that the RFPS aims to address these challenges. The Clerk of the National Assembly in her welcoming remarks Report on the Dissemination of information about the RFPS (2012) 1 | P a g e commended the Ministry of Finance for recognizing Members of Parliament as important stakeholders in championing rural finance. She further assured the Ministry of Finance of full support from her office in facilitating future engagements with Members of Parliament. 2.0 OBJECTIVE The general objective for holding the three-day workshop was to enhance stakeholders’ awareness of the interventions put in place by the Government to improve access to and usage of quality financial products and services in rural areas. 3.0 DISCUSSIONS The discussions during the three-day sensitization workshop were centred around the existing policies supporting financial inclusion in Zambia, with a bias towards rural areas. However, particular prominence was accorded to the RFPS, being the mainstay of all rural finance initiatives in Zambia. To contextualize the provisions of the RFPS, RUFEP gave a presentation in which they highlighted their areas of intervention and how they are contributing to financial inclusion in rural areas, especially among women and the youth population. 3.1 Financial Sector Policy Landscape in Zambia To give an overview of the current national policy landscape of financial inclusion in Zambia, a presentation was made by the Financial Sector Policies and Management Unit (FSPMU) from the Economic Management Department (EMD) of Ministry of Finance. The presentation highlighted the recent financial sector reforms in Zambia and the existing financial sector policies. These included the National Financial Sector Development Policy (NFSDP) and the RFPS itself. Of paramount interest was the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) which provides a roadmap for accelerating financial inclusion in Zambia. The vision of the NFIS is to have universal access to and usage of a broad range of quality and affordable financial products and services. In line with this vision, a national target has been set to increase the overall level of financial inclusion from 59% in 2015 to 80% by 2022. The NFIS comprises four drivers. The first driver emphasizes having widespread and accessible delivery channels. This involves expanding the reach of agency and mobile banking, enhancing interoperability and increasing the overall quality of service provided by the financial service providers. The second driver brings out the need to have diverse, innovative and customer-centric products. This would result in improved quality and availability of financial services that are suitable to the needs of the majority. The third driver focusses on improving access to finance by the Small Medium Enterprises (SME) and the agricultural Report on the Dissemination of information about the RFPS (2012) 2 | P a g e sectors. The fourth driver encourages financial consumer protection and capability. This would equip consumers with knowledge and confidence to engage with financial service providers. 3.2 Brief Overview of the Rural Finance Policy and Strategy A presentation was made by the Rural Finance Unit (RFU) which succinctly highlighted the conspicuous elements of the Rural Finance Policy and Strategy (RFPS). As defined in the RFPS, rural finance refers to financial services that focus on households and businesses in rural areas, encompassing both agricultural and non-agricultural activities and targeting poor and non-poor women, men and youths. It is important to note that rural finance and agricultural finance are not synonymous as the latter is sometimes considered a subset of the former. The vision of the RFPS is to have vibrant and well-resourced rural communities that enjoy prospects of sustained socio-economic development. The RFPS is built on nine guiding principles which constitute the primary frame of reference regarding rural finance in Zambia. These include encouraging market-based approaches, supporting access to a variety of financial services and promoting a wide range of delivery channels and models which are relevant to the needs of the rural people. The policy further looks to promote consumer protection, support private sector demand-driven and innovative approaches as well as develop and support long-term strategies focusing on the sustainability of financial service providers. It is the Government’s goal to improve policy certainty and financial infrastructure to minimize the exposure of financial service providers to risks. The government also wishes to encourage evidence-based policymaking and foster effective policy dialogue mechanisms to develop, monitor and improve policies. Included in the RFPS are six developmental objectives that the Government seeks to achieve in facilitating rural finance. Further, the policy is divided into three distinct policy focus areas namely macro, meso and micro levels. Each focus area has corresponding strategies that are aimed at guiding

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.

    Zambia Page 1 of 16 Zambia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2002 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 31, 2003 Zambia is a republic governed by a president and a unicameral national assembly. Since 1991 generally free and fair multiparty elections have resulted in the victory of the Movement for Multi -Party Democracy (MMD). In December 2001, Levy Mwanawasa of the MMD was elected president, and his party won 69 out of 150 elected seats in the National Assembly. The MMD's use of government resources during the campaign raised questions over the fairness of the elections. Although noting general transparency during the voting, domestic and international observer groups cited irregularities in the registration process and problems in the tabulation of the election results. Opposition parties challenged the election result in court, and court proceedings remained ongoing at year's end. 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 operated under the Ministry of Home Affairs, had primary responsibility for maintaining law and order. The Zambia Security and Intelligence Service (ZSIS), under the Office of the President, was responsible for intelligence and internal security. Members of the security forces committed numerous, and at times serious, human rights abuses. Approximately 60 percent of the labor force worked in agriculture, although agriculture contributed only 22 percent to the gross domestic product. Economic growth slowed to 3 percent for the year, partly as a result of drought in some agricultural areas.

  • Post-Populism in Zambia: Michael Sata's Rise
    This is the accepted version of the article which is published by Sage in International Political Science Review, Volume: 38 issue: 4, page(s): 456-472 available at: https://doi.org/10.1177/0192512117720809 Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24592/ Post-populism in Zambia: Michael Sata’s rise, demise and legacy Alastair Fraser SOAS University of London, UK Abstract Models explaining populism as a policy response to the interests of the urban poor struggle to understand the instability of populist mobilisations. A focus on political theatre is more helpful. This article extends the debate on populist performance, showing how populists typically do not produce rehearsed performances to passive audiences. In drawing ‘the people’ on stage they are forced to improvise. As a result, populist performances are rarely sustained. The article describes the Zambian Patriotic Front’s (PF) theatrical insurrection in 2006 and its evolution over the next decade. The PF’s populist aspect had faded by 2008 and gradually disappeared in parallel with its leader Michael Sata’s ill-health and eventual death in 2014. The party was nonetheless electorally successful. The article accounts for this evolution and describes a ‘post-populist’ legacy featuring hyper- partisanship, violence and authoritarianism. Intolerance was justified in the populist moment as a reflection of anger at inequality; it now floats free of any programme. Keywords Elections, populism, political theatre, Laclau, Zambia, Sata, Patriotic Front Introduction This article both contributes to the thin theoretic literature on ‘post-populism’ and develops an illustrative case. It discusses the explosive arrival of the Patriotic Front (PF) on the Zambian electoral scene in 2006 and the party’s subsequent evolution.

  • Corporate Affairs and Business Development
    CORPORATE AFFAIRS AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT THE PROPOSED CONNECTION OF NORTH WESTERN PROVINCE TO THE NATIONAL GRID AT 132kV PREPARED BY THE ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS UNIT 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the Northwestern Province (NWP) ZESCO Limited supplies electricity to five districts namely Mwinilunga, Mufumbwe, Kabompo, Zambezi and Chavuma from isolated Diesel Generation Stations located in each district. The older districts (Mwinilunga, Kabompo, and Zambezi) have been on diesel power supply for over forty years now. Solwezi and Kasempa are the only two districts in the province that are supplied from the national hydro power grid. Power supply from the diesel power stations is characterized by high operational costs, inadequate capacity, very low reliability and high emissions. ZESCO Limited has therefore long sought to replace diesel generated power supply with reliable and cost effective power from the national grid by connecting all the diesel power stations to the grid. By the year 2000, ZESCO Limited was operating ten diesel stations country wide, but by 2007, four such stations had been replaced by grid supply while two new stations were installed in two newly designated districts. Despite having great potential for mining and agricultural development, NWP generally remains underdeveloped due to insufficient and unreliable power supply. It is against this background that the Government of the Republic of Zambia through ZESCO Limited, intends to connect the 5 NWP Districts still on diesel, to the National Grid at 132 kilo Volts (kV) through a transmission line network from Kasempa T-Off (Nselauke) to Chavuma and linking Mwinilunga to Lumwana. The main objective of the project is to replace the diesel generated electricity with hydro electricity by constructing a 132kV transmission line network which would be linked to the main national power grid.
