Table of Content and Executive Summary i Table of Content and Executive Summary ii Preface The 2000 Census of Population and Housing was undertaken from 16th October to 15th November, 2000. 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. Professionals and Technical Staff of the Central Statistical Office were assigned more technical and professional tasks. This report presents detailed analysis of issues on evaluation of coverage and content errors; population, size, growth and composition; ethnicity and languages; economic and education characteristics; fertility; mortality and disability. The success of the Census accrues to the dedicated support and involvement of a large number of institutions and individuals. My sincere thanks go to Co-operating partners namely the British Government, the Japanese Government, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the Norwegian Government, the Dutch Government, the Finnish Government, the Danish Government, the German Government, University of Michigan, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Canadian Government for providing financial, material and technical assistance which enabled the Central Statistical Office carry out the Census.

Risk assessment of rabies virus infection will lead to cost-effective control measures for rabies, and the control measures will be implemented as risk management cooperating with the University of Zambia and the relevant authorities. As the first step of the research, in order to grasp the current situation on the occurrence of rabies and its control programmes in Zambia, a survey on the vaccination status and antibody retention ratio against rabies virus in domestic dog population, and a KAP survey against dog rabies and its control among dog owners were conducted. Furthermore, information on the rabies situation in Zambia was collected from the relevant authorities regarding the rabies control measures. The survey was conducted in two different areas which were Mazabuka and Monze districts in Southern Province, and Lusaka district in Lusaka Province. A total of 736 dogs were vaccinated and 265 canine sera were collected through mass vaccination in Mazabuka and Monze districts. In Lusaka district, a total of 278 canine sera were collected visiting households with dog(s) and 224 KAP survey questionnaires were collected at the same time.

EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE CO., LTD. SUMMARY Summary 1. General Description The Republic of Zambia (hereinafter referred to as “Zambia”), located in the southern part of the African continent, is a landlocked country bordering Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its land area is about 752,610km2, which is approximately twice larger than that of Japan. Zambia is located in the tropical zone between latitudes 8ºS and 18º S, and its altitudes are from 900m to 1,500m. Because of its geographical location, the country has a relatively mild tropical savanna climate and has distinctive rainy and dry seasons, with the former one from November to March and the other from April to October. It has an annual precipitation of 700mm to more than 1,500mm, which increases from south to north. Zambia consists of nine provinces (Luapula, Northern, Eastern, Central, Copperbelt, Northwestern, Western, Lusaka and Southern) where the Project targets four districts (Nchelenge, Mwense, Mansa and Milenge) in Luapula Province. While the average yearly temperature of Zambia ranges from 15 ºC to 35 ºC, in the Project target area of Luapula Province, it ranges from 20 ºC to 25 ºC.
