Abstract Zambia is one of the countries in Africa with a high frequency of land conflicts. The conflicts over land lead to tenure insecurity. In response to the increasing number of land conflicts, the Zambian Government has undertaken measures to address land conflicts, but the measures are mainly curative in nature. But a conflict sensitive land governance framework should address both curative and preventive measures. In order to obtain insights about the actual realities on the ground, based on a case study approach, the research examined the role of existing state land governance framework in improving tenure security in Lusaka district, and established how land conflicts affect land tenure security. The research findings show that the present state land governance framework is malfunctional which cause land conflicts and therefore, tenure insecurity. The research further reveals that state land governance is characterised by defective legal and institutional framework and inappropriate technical (i.e.

  • National Inventories for Location of Dumpsites, Landfills and Related Hotspots in Zambia
    September 2019 National Inventories for Location of Dumpsites, Landfills and Related Hotspots in Zambia Zambia Environmental Management Agency 1.0 Background and Introduction The management of various types of waste has over the years been a very difficult and challenging issue. This difficulty has manifested itself in the perennial outbreak of diseases such as cholera, dysentery and pollution of water resources, air, soil or land contamination, proliferation of pests and vermin, and the loss of aesthetic beauty. Improvements are desired in waste management covering aspects of minimization of waste generation, improving collection, re-use, recycling, treatment and disposal. Zambia is a land linked country surrounded by eight countries in the sub-region namely Angola to the West, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania to the North, Malawi and Mozambique to the East, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia to the South and South-West respectively. The country lies between 8O -18O South of the equator and 22O – 34O East of the Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT) with a land area of about 753,000 km2. Fig. 1: Map of Zambia and Location in Africa 1 The population of Zambia in 2010 was 13,092,666 persons. (Table 1). It is estimated that the average annual growth rate is about 2.8 percent, meaning by 2019, the total population is estimated to be about 17,000,000 people. The regional distribution of the population shows that about 39.5 percent (5,173,450) of the population is urban compared to 60.5 percent (7,919,216) in rural areas (CSO 2012). At provincial level, Lusaka has the largest population (2,191,225), followed by Copperbelt (1,972,317), Southern (1,589,926), Eastern (1, 592,661) and Northern (1,105,824).

  • Assessment of Integrated Environmental Management in Public and Private Schools in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia
    Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.7, No.28, 2016 Assessment of Integrated Environmental Management in Public and Private Schools in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia Kaponda Makisa Student, Copperbelt University of Zambia School of Natural Sciences Riverside Campus, Jambo Drive, Kitwe Copperbelt Province, Kitwe, Zambia Abstract Copperbelt Province is one of the ten provinces of Zambia. It has public and private schools which have been faced with escalating levels of environmental problems due to growth in human population and economic growth. The environmental problems which are matters of concern in the schools include, unsound waste management, loss of vegetation cover, runoffs, and water and air pollution. The integrated environmental management approach could help reduce and curb the escalating levels of environmental degradation. The study was aimed at generating information on the levels to which the IEM intervention has been implemented in the public and private schools of Kitwe and Kalulushi districts in the Copperbelt. It focused on the existence of integrated environmental management activities and related IEM plans. It also ascertained the understanding of the IEM approach, the national environmental legislations and compliance. In addition, the research focused on finding out how schools are managing the problems of waste and runoffs. A purposive non- random sampling approach was used to obtain data from the study area, focusing on key stakeholder representatives from ZEMA, local authorities, DEBS, and the teachers from primary and secondary schools.The study showed that participants have a narrow and limited knowledge of the IEM.
