Introduction Zambia initiated a series of reforms in the early 1990s aimed at increasing sustainable water supply and Box 1: The Seven Sector sanitation services. This was coupled with improving Principles water resources management and enhancing Separation of water resources and contributions to economic growth and development. executive functions from water The reforms are embedded within seven sector supply and sanitation principles that were articulated in the 1994 National Separation of regulatory and Water Policy (Box 1). The aim of the NWP was “to executive functions within the water promote sustainable water resources development with supply and sanitation sector a view to facilitate an equitable provision of adequate quantity and quality of water for all competing groups Devolution of authority to local of users at acceptable costs and ensuring security of authorities and private enterprises supply under varying conditions”. Achievement of full cost recovery for These principles have continued to provide the the water supply and sanitation framework for investments within the sector. They are services (capital recovery, operation reflected in the Vision 2030, which aims to provide and maintenance) through user clean and safe water supply and sanitation for all by charges in the long run 2030 (see Box 2), as well as the national development Human resources development plans. The goal for the water sector, as originally leading to effective institutions defined in the FNDP, is to “promote sustainable water Technology appropriate to local resources development and sanitation with a view to conditions facilitating an equitable provision of adequate quantity and quality for all users at acceptable costs and Increased GRZ spending priority and ensuring security of supply under varying conditions”. budget spending to the sector Box 2: Water and Sanitation Sector 2030 Vision: Clean and safe water supply and sanitation for all by 2030 Goals/Targets i. Improve access to appropriate, environmental friendly sanitation by all Zambians; ii. Attainment of 80 percent access to clean water supply to all by 2015 and 100 percent by 2030; iii. Attainment of 68 percent access to sanitation to all by 2015 and 90 percent by 2030; and iv. Fully integrated and sustainable water resource management The reform process has given rise to a revised institutional framework that acknowledges the separation of responsibilities relating to the policy, planning and development of water resources and water supply functions, with the establishment of an independent regulator embedded in the Water Supply and Sanitation Act No. 28 of 1997. Despite these achievements, efforts to increase and improve service delivery have been undermined by a perceived lack of financial resources, deteriorating infrastructure and an absence of new investments, while low levels of awareness continue to compound stakeholder involvement and ownership. P In an effort to assess the current status of the sector and support continued gains, a series of policy papers have been commissioned. These explore sectoral issues with a specific focus on the public budget, in particular the efficiency and equity of resource allocation. These are intended to inform measures that will improve the effectiveness and transparency of public resource allocation to promote economic growth and poverty reduction. The objective of this paper is to review the resource allocations and financial flows in the water sector. It is the first in a series of five policy papers that includes the following: 1.

    Briefing Memorandum: The Kazungula Bridge – Botswana-Zambia ICA Meeting: Financing Transport for Growth in Africa December 3-4, 2007 Briefing Memorandum: Kazungula Bridge – Botswana-Zambia TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Summary 2. The Project 3. Economic Rationale 4. Feasibility Analysis 5. Project Contacts 6. Next Steps ICA Meeting: Financing Transport for Growth in Africa 2 Briefing Memorandum: Kazungula Bridge – Botswana-Zambia 1. Summary The Kazungula Bridge Project consists of the construction of a bridge across the Zambezi River between Botswana and Zambia, as well as the improvement of border facilities situated near the crossing. The main objective of the Kazungula Bridge is to replace the ferry service between the two countries, which suffers from slow traffic clearance as a result of limited carrying capacity. The bridge will form an important part of the trade infrastructure of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the African continent. The construction of the Kazungula Bridge would enhance transport operations along the regional north-south corridor, which links the mineral-rich regions of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Botswana and the port of Durban in South Africa. In light of its importance, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) commissioned a study by Nippon Koei and Oriental Consultant. The study, published in March 2001, confirmed the technical and economic feasibility the project. The total cost for the Kazungula Bridge is estimated at US$ 70 million, with an additional US$ 30 million required for the border control facilities. Nippon Koei and Oriental Consultants have estimated that the construction would take 4 years, excluding engineering studies.

  • 4 Development Directions for Regional Infrastructure
    Preparatory Survey for Southern Africa Integrated Transport Program Chapter 4 4 Development Directions for Regional Infrastructure 4.1 Infrastructure Bottlenecks under Growth Scenarios 4.1.1 Current Industrial Situation of the Corridors In parallel with the macro analysis undertaken in Chapter 2, summary information on development potential in the region (especially of mineral resources development accompanied by cross-border transport improvements and an overview of a Mega Project) are presented in this section. More details may be found in Appendix B. The results serve as input to Section 4.1.3 on Infrastructure Bottlenecks under the Growth Scenarios. The figure below visually summarizes the mineral and agricultural potential in the Southern African region. (The number of corridor in Figure 4.1.1 corresponds to this section’s paragraph number.) Figure 4.1.1 Mineral and Agricultural Resources and Corridors (1) Nacala Corridor Nacala is regarded as the best location for a deepwater port on the East African coast. The Nacala Corridor has consequently been at the forefront of ongoing initiatives to rehabilitate the rail link to Malawi, thereby creating a number of “anchor” tenants and promoting development 4-1 Preparatory Survey for Southern Africa Integrated Transport Program Chapter 4 along the corridor. Together with Beira and other corridors (Sena and Tete), these developments have been linked to the possible export of coal from the Moatize and Benga coal fields as well as from the Muchana Vuzi coal fields north of the Cahorra Bassa Dam in Tete Province, Mozambique. The corridor is ultimately seen as linking Lusaka in Zambia with the Port of Nacala.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce tliis document, the quality o f the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality o f the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication o f either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method o f “sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Additional Zimbabwe Road Network Information
    Transport is indispensable to economic and social development in any country be it a developed or developing country like Zimbabwe. There are 88,100 km of classified roads in Zimbabwe, 17,400 km of which are paved. About 5 percent of the network is classified as primary roads and has some of the most trafficked arterials that link Zimbabwe with its neighbours. A portion of the Pan-Africa Highway passes through Zimbabwe. This part of the road network plays a major role in the movement of the country’s imports and exports as well as transit freight. Some 14 percent of the network is classified as secondary roads that link the main economic canters within the country, enabling internal movement of people and goods. The primary and secondary roads are collectively referred to as the trunk road system; they carry over 70 Percent of the vehicular traffic (measured in vehicle kilometres) and they are managed by the Department of Roads (DoR). A little more than 70 percent of the network is made up of tertiary feeder and access roads that link rural areas to the secondary road network. These are managed by the District Development Fund (DDF) and by the District Councils (DC). The tertiary access roads, together with the unclassified tracks, typically with traffic volumes below 50 vehicles per day, provide for the intra-rural access movements. They link rural communities to social economic amenities, such as schools, health centres, and markets, and enable government services to reach rural areas. The remaining 9 percent of the network are urban roads managed by urban councils.
