Insights from Lusaka Arbitration Week 2025 \u2013 Day 1<\/a><\/h5><p data-start=\"62\" data-end=\"226\">Lusaka Arbitration Week 2025 set the stage for thought-provoking discussions on the future of dispute resolution and the evolving role of ADR in emerging markets.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"228\" data-end=\"259\">Key Takeaways from Day 1:<\/h3><ol data-start=\"261\" data-end=\"1920\"><li data-start=\"261\" data-end=\"630\"><p data-start=\"264\" data-end=\"630\"><strong data-start=\"264\" data-end=\"309\">Promoting Swiftness in Dispute Resolution<\/strong><br data-start=\"309\" data-end=\"312\" \/>Disputes should not hinder progress. The longer a dispute remained unresolved, the more it undermined the purpose of a project. ADR practitioners emphasized the need for efficiency, as unresolved disputes in critical sectors\u2014such as energy, infrastructure, and healthcare\u2014left millions without essential services.<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"632\" data-end=\"903\"><p data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"903\"><strong data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"655\">Demystifying ADR<\/strong><br data-start=\"655\" data-end=\"658\" \/>ADR was not just for the elite. It mirrored traditional dispute resolution methods used by community leaders, much like King Solomon\u2019s wisdom in resolving conflicts. The need to make ADR accessible and widely understood was a central theme.<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"1495\"><p data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"1330\"><strong data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"949\">Energy PPPs \u2013 Energy as a Human Right<\/strong><br data-start=\"949\" data-end=\"952\" \/>Access to energy was recognized as a fundamental right. While PPPs in the energy sector focused on commercial viability, they also needed to address energy deficits sustainably.

relative update-components-update-v2__commentary \" dir=\"ltr\"><p>Zambia\u2019s Minerals Bill, an amendment to the Mines and Minerals Development Act of 2015, introduces targeted adjustments to enhance mining regulation, not a full overhaul. The bill establishes the Minerals Regulation Commission, tasked with managing mining regulations independently, and a Mines Appeal Tribunal for dispute resolution, promoting efficiency and investor confidence. It caps mining rights per entity at five, with government interests in exploration areas. The Geological Bill mandates local-content requirements, creating a unit in the Ministry of Mines to enforce compliance. Zambia\u2019s rich mineral resources and planned EV battery manufacturing park further position the country as a key investment hub.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element

UNWTO has identified the priorities for the sector, which include investments, education, youth empowerment and sustainability. In 2023, with the support of its members, the organisation successfully laid the foundations for all these priorities to be advanced or realised over the year ahead. &#8220;2024 looks set to be the year international tourism returns to pre-pandemic levels, capping a rapid and remarkable comeback. UNWTO has set the direction of travel, evolving its programme of work and moving even closer to its members on the ground. Now it&#8217;s time to look ahead and build a sector that offers even more for even more people and communities while also focusing on this year&#8217;s World Tourism Day theme: Tourism and peace, UNWTO said. Zambia will host the second UNWTO Regional Conference on Brand Africa themed &#8220;Promoting Africa to unlock the tourism sector&#8217;s growth potential&#8221; from April 16 to 18, 2024.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UNWTO said the conference is open to the participation of UNWTO member states, UNWTO affiliate members, and invited delegations, tourism professionals and technical experts, representatives of funding institutions and financial services, stakeholders from public and private sectors who drive the transformation of the tourism sector in Africa. UNWTO has also announced that the first UNWTO World Barometer of 2024 will be published later this month and provide a consolidated review of 2023 and a first forecast for this year. Further, UNWTO said its forecast to return to 95 percent of pre-pandemic levels in 2023 proved to be right. On spotlight on investments, UNWTO said with investments identified as a key priority for the sector, the organisation&#8217;s cooperation agreement with the<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) will further promote tourism investments in the Americas region. Investment guidelines will continue being released throughout 2024, emphasising opportunities in specific destinations. Last year also saw UNWTO join World Investment for Development Alliance (WIDA) to boost effectiveness of investment in the sector and its work towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. On education and youth empowerment, UNWTO notes that true sustainable development can only be achieved by investing in people and supporting young talent, adding that 2024 will witness the first BSc in sustainable tourism management. UNWTO said this year looks set to be a huge test for international governance and order, global security, and coordinated climate action.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-83e8751\" data-id=\"83e8751\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-331c9c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"331c9c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DALL\u00b7E-2024-01-18-02.41.55-A-realistic-image-of-an-African-banker-in-a-1_1-ratio-actively-writing.-The-banker-is-professionally-dressed-in-a-suit-and-tie-focused-and-writing-o.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2759\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DALL\u00b7E-2024-01-18-02.41.55-A-realistic-image-of-an-African-banker-in-a-1_1-ratio-actively-writing.-The-banker-is-professionally-dressed-in-a-suit-and-tie-focused-and-writing-o.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DALL\u00b7E-2024-01-18-02.41.55-A-realistic-image-of-an-African-banker-in-a-1_1-ratio-actively-writing.-The-banker-is-professionally-dressed-in-a-suit-and-tie-focused-and-writing-o-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DALL\u00b7E-2024-01-18-02.41.55-A-realistic-image-of-an-African-banker-in-a-1_1-ratio-actively-writing.-The-banker-is-professionally-dressed-in-a-suit-and-tie-focused-and-writing-o-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DALL\u00b7E-2024-01-18-02.41.55-A-realistic-image-of-an-African-banker-in-a-1_1-ratio-actively-writing.-The-banker-is-professionally-dressed-in-a-suit-and-tie-focused-and-writing-o-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4434a3e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4434a3e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">NEW BOZ LAW GOOD FOR STABLE EXCHANGE RATE &#8211; EXPERT<\/a><\/h5><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A RISK assurance and financial analyst, Bbenkele Haachitwe, says the introduction of the Exports Proceeds Tracking Framework (EPTF) will help to stabilise the foreign exchange (forex) market and promote acceptable business. behaviour. In a bid to strengthen the Kwacha and the economy, the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) has issued EPTF directives that will compel all exporters to open and maintain accounts with banks within the country. The directives will also allow BoZ to link the electronic balances of payments monitoring system with other government agencies, including institutions responsible for the collection of revenue or administration of import and export formalities. In an interview, Mr Haachitwe said the introduction of EPTF is not only timely but necessary, too.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;From the onset, I want to say that this is a good thing because it will help to stabilise the forex market and generally promote acceptable business ethics and behaviour,&#8221; he said. Mr Haachitwe said it is only right that investors operating and working in Zambia retain part of their sales proceeds in the country.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said investors need not operate in a &#8220;vacuum&#8221; where there is a disconnect between them and the host community. Mr Haachitwe said in other jurisdictions, investors even tend to be offered citizenship when they invest a certain amount of money in a host country because government want them to have a sense of belonging. He is confident that the new EPTF requirement will succeed, owing to the favourable business environment that Government has created. He said in the past simi interventions failed because the main stakeholders the law targeted had reservations about some policies. He said for example, past, there was a mismatch between the mining taxation policy and regulations that demanded localisation of money from proceeds of minerals. &#8220;Now this time around under the New Dawn administration, mineral royalty tax is deductible and the current regime has guaranteed that the country will have a consistent mining policy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;On that basis, the ground is fertile for this legislation to succeed.&#8221; And Mr Haachitwe hopes that the new law will encourage a culture of honesty and adherence to ethics in business. He urged the business community to take advantage of Government&#8217;s goodwill and avoid practices such as under declaration of exports. He said dishonesty in business only breeds mistrust among policy-makers. Mr Haachitwe said for the economy to thrive, there is need to encourage honest dealings that will promote harmonious world relations and thereby contribute to economic growth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-59bcae5\" data-id=\"59bcae5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca6c77a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ca6c77a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/2023\/11\/07\/zr-seeking-investment-in-infrastructure\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DALL\u00b7E-2024-01-18-02.57.48-A-high-definition-realistic-photo-of-an-office-with-two-African-business-people-in-it.-The-office-is-modern-and-well-lit-with-a-large-window-offerin.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2761\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DALL\u00b7E-2024-01-18-02.57.48-A-high-definition-realistic-photo-of-an-office-with-two-African-business-people-in-it.-The-office-is-modern-and-well-lit-with-a-large-window-offerin.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DALL\u00b7E-2024-01-18-02.57.48-A-high-definition-realistic-photo-of-an-office-with-two-African-business-people-in-it.-The-office-is-modern-and-well-lit-with-a-large-window-offerin-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DALL\u00b7E-2024-01-18-02.57.48-A-high-definition-realistic-photo-of-an-office-with-two-African-business-people-in-it.-The-office-is-modern-and-well-lit-with-a-large-window-offerin-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/DALL\u00b7E-2024-01-18-02.57.48-A-high-definition-realistic-photo-of-an-office-with-two-African-business-people-in-it.-The-office-is-modern-and-well-lit-with-a-large-window-offerin-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb8c4a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bb8c4a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">ZAMBIA ON TRACT WITH WTO POLICY REFORMSAFRICAN STATES DOMINATE TOP 2024&#8217;s 10 ECONOMIC GROWTH SPOTS<\/a><\/h5><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AFRICAN countries have dominated the top 10 economic growth spots in 2024, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasting that six of the top performing economies are from the African region.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These countries are Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Ivory Coast, Tanzania, and Kenya.

The two countries were reported to have done a good job of diversity-ing their economies and attracting foreign investment.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this forecast was positive, the depreciation of African currencies against major currencies, particularly the United States dollar, turned into a major headache affecting trade balances, inflation<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rates, and what people could buy with their money. Countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, and Zambia saw their currencies take a beating, dropping by double-digit per-centages. Also, countries were struggling with heavy debt bur-dens, leading to defaults in nations like Ghana, Zambia, and Ethiopia.On the other side, analysts were reported to remain cautious on Africa&#8217;s outlook in the immediate future. The pick-up in growth was coming from a low base after the setbacks suffered by the region during the pandemic, straining public finances and leaving many countries struggling with heavy debt burdens. Those had already triggered defaults in Ghana, Zambia and Ethiopia, with the IMF warning other nations remain at risk, and access to foreign capital markets is effectively closed. Moody&#8217;s Investors Service had a negative outlook on the credit of African sovereigns because of elevated debt-refinancing risks, and because it expects slower growth in China to dampen demand for the region&#8217;s commodity exports. Aurelien Mali, senior credit officer at Moody&#8217;s Sovereign Risk Group, noted that Africa&#8217;s ratio of debt to gross domestic product has risen to 60 percent on average. &#8220;Many of these countries have been running twin deficits &#8211; fiscal deficits and cur-rent-account deficits &#8211; in the post-Covid-19 period. They need to access external funding at a moment when you have a wall of maturities coming due,&#8221; he said. Moody&#8217;s estimates about US$5 billion of Eurobonds would come due in 2024 in Sub-Saharan Africa, with more than US$6 billion in 2025.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b5e3e78 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b5e3e78\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-60262fc\" data-id=\"60262fc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd88c47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd88c47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>9th november, 2023<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42f8203 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"42f8203\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/599893ffc9fa\/zib-investor-briefing-september-12662072?e=fc6ba42b46\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.54.07-A-highly-detailed-and-realistic-photograph-of-a-modern-passenger-airplane-in-flight.-The-plane-is-seen-from-a-side-angle-capturing-its-entire-length-1024x585.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2709\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.54.07-A-highly-detailed-and-realistic-photograph-of-a-modern-passenger-airplane-in-flight.-The-plane-is-seen-from-a-side-angle-capturing-its-entire-length-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.54.07-A-highly-detailed-and-realistic-photograph-of-a-modern-passenger-airplane-in-flight.-The-plane-is-seen-from-a-side-angle-capturing-its-entire-length-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.54.07-A-highly-detailed-and-realistic-photograph-of-a-modern-passenger-airplane-in-flight.-The-plane-is-seen-from-a-side-angle-capturing-its-entire-length-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.54.07-A-highly-detailed-and-realistic-photograph-of-a-modern-passenger-airplane-in-flight.-The-plane-is-seen-from-a-side-angle-capturing-its-entire-length-1536x878.png 1536w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.54.07-A-highly-detailed-and-realistic-photograph-of-a-modern-passenger-airplane-in-flight.-The-plane-is-seen-from-a-side-angle-capturing-its-entire-length.png 1792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a91458 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3a91458\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">MORE ZAMBIANS ARE NOW FLYING<\/a><\/h5><p>THE aviation sector has continued on its growth trajectory, with Zambia Airports Corporation Limited (ZACL) handling 581,193 passenger movements in the third quarter of 2023, compared to 507,103 and 524,853 over the same period in 2022 and 2019 respectively.<\/p><p>According to a statement issued by ZACL communications and brand manager Mweembe Sikaulu yesterday, the third quarter figures represent a year-on-year growth of 15 percent and a recovery of 111 percent from the pre-COVID-19 levels. She said from the statistics availed, international travellers accounted for 71 percent of total passengers in the quarter, whereas domestic ones accounted for 29 percent.\u00a0She said domestic flights accounted for 66 percent of the aircraft movements whereas international ones accounted for 34 percent.<\/p><p>She cited the top five routes during the quarter under review as: Lusaka-Johannesburg,<\/p><p>Lusaka-Ndola, Lusaka-Dubai, Lusaka-Addis Ababa and Lusaka-Harare. Ms Sikaulu said ZACL recorded its peak passenger traffic in August this year as the month coincides with the summer season in Europe. She attributed the increased domestic passenger performance to events such as the 45th Association of Central African Central Banks\u00a0Annual General Meeting and the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation Africa<\/p><p>Regional Conference held in Livingstone, among other activities. Ms Sikaulu said domestic recovery, on the other hand, has been necessitated by the competitive pricing provided by Proflight Zambia and Zambia Airways on the local routes. However, there was a reduction in cargo, mainly carried on passenger planes during the quarter under review.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-53c1fe5\" data-id=\"53c1fe5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e707911 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e707911\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/adobeacrobat.app.link\/Mhhs4GmNsxb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.56.41-A-realistic-and-detailed-photograph-of-Lusaka-Zambia.-The-image-showcases-a-panoramic-view-of-the-city-skyline-during-the-daytime.-Prominent-modern-b-1024x585.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2710\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.56.41-A-realistic-and-detailed-photograph-of-Lusaka-Zambia.-The-image-showcases-a-panoramic-view-of-the-city-skyline-during-the-daytime.-Prominent-modern-b-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.56.41-A-realistic-and-detailed-photograph-of-Lusaka-Zambia.-The-image-showcases-a-panoramic-view-of-the-city-skyline-during-the-daytime.-Prominent-modern-b-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.56.41-A-realistic-and-detailed-photograph-of-Lusaka-Zambia.-The-image-showcases-a-panoramic-view-of-the-city-skyline-during-the-daytime.-Prominent-modern-b-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.56.41-A-realistic-and-detailed-photograph-of-Lusaka-Zambia.-The-image-showcases-a-panoramic-view-of-the-city-skyline-during-the-daytime.-Prominent-modern-b-1536x878.png 1536w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-11-25-14.56.41-A-realistic-and-detailed-photograph-of-Lusaka-Zambia.-The-image-showcases-a-panoramic-view-of-the-city-skyline-during-the-daytime.-Prominent-modern-b.png 1792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db89fad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"db89fad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">EMBRACE FOREIGN ENTITIES, PIA URGES PLAYERS<\/a><\/h5><p>PENSIONS and Insurance Authority (PIA) has urged sector players to embrace foreign direct investment\u00a0(FDI) by creating a\u00a0favourable environment for foreign entities to grow their businesses.\u00a0PIA acting deputy registrar\u00a0&#8211; insurance Chishala\u00a0Kabungo said in an interview during the PIA conference held in Lusaka last week that foreign companies in the insurance sector have come up with plans on how to pass on the mantle to local professionals once their businesses stabilise.\u00a0Mr Kabungo said foreign investors prefer to manage their investments to ensure growth and stability before they can hand them over to local professionals.\u00a0&#8220;These are people who bring quite huge investment in the country and they are not very comfortable to leave it just like that. We do allow them sometimes to bring in their own people, and there is a period in which they are supposed to appoint local people,&#8221; he said.\u00a0During his presentation, there was a concern that most senior positions in the insurance sector are occupied by foreign experts.\u00a0Mr Kabungo said PIA wants to encourage FDI by providing favourable conditions and creating a conducive environment in the insurance sector.\u00a0He said the investors want to ensure that they train the local people just to ensure that their investments are in safe and capable hands.\u00a0&#8220;We have quite a number foreign entities most of them say: give us three years we set up, establish then pass on the business to local people. So we see most of these CEOs who come to set up their businesses here and hand over to a local person and leave,&#8221; he said.<\/p><p>Mr Kabungo implored the local people to sharpen their skills and ensure that they acquire the necessary training.\u00a0He said the notion that local business executives should be in top management is not supported by the law, and even if the law prescribed that, there was going to be a balance because there are many foreign entities that are serving more Zambian people:<\/p><p>Mr Kabungo said the current law prescribes that there should be a presence of a chief executive officer in Zambia and not that the person must be Zambian.\u00a0&#8220;Under our licensing requirement regime, it is not a requirement under our assessment to assess the nationality of workers when we are issuing a licence.\u00a0That is well handled by our colleagues under the Department of Immigration.\u00a0&#8220;It is not a rampant problem as it was portrayed there (at the conference].\u00a0We have the numbers, there are quite very few CEOs of foreign origin.

This agreement, expected to provide $2.5 billion in cash-flow relief during the country\u2019s $1.3 billion IMF programme ending in 2025, is crucial for similar future restructuring with private creditors. Earlier in the month, Zambia also secured a MoU with bilateral creditors, including China and the Paris Club, to restructure $6.3 billion in debt, significantly reducing immediate financial obligations.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Investments in Mining Sector<\/strong>: The International Holding Company (IHC) from Abu Dhabi expressed interest in investing in Mopani Copper Mines, a major Zambian asset currently controlled by Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM). This follows the sale of Glencore&#8217;s stake in 2021 for $1.5 billion.

The African Development Bank and Africa Finance Corporation joined US and EU support for the Lobito Corridor, a trans-African railway connecting Zambia and the DRC to global markets. Additionally, Presidents from Zambia, Mozambique, and Malawi signed agreements for the Nacala Corridor in Mozambique, aiming to enhance trade routes and regional development.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Starlink Internet Service<\/strong>: Zambia became the sixth country to receive SpaceX\u2019s Starlink internet service, offering high-speed broadband in remote areas, with plans to expand coverage.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Renewable and Sustainable Projects<\/strong>: The President hosted a delegation from K.E. International Consortium, discussing potential Public-Private Partnership projects in various sectors including renewable energy and agriculture.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Economic Indicators and Other News<\/strong>: The briefing also presented key economic indicators such as the currency exchange rate and volatility.

class=\"m_6743216731307801517p1\">ZAMBIA is next month set to host the ninth Edition of the Africa Think Tank Summit aimed at driving Africa towards a future of informed policymaking, particularly in the context of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFIA). The summit from November 8 to 10, 2023, is also aimed to foster a collective spirit of cooperation and knowledge-sharing, This is the first time this summit is being held in the southern region and is expected to draw over 200 think tanks and a multitude of stakeholders. Briefing journalists on the summit on Tuesday, Nalituba Mwale, acting Commerce, Trade and Industry Permanent Secretary, said it emerged as a crucial platform, dedicated to addressing the challenges and seizing the opportunities presented by the AfCFTA. Ms Mwale said the summit would delve into critical sub-themes, such as understanding the AfCFTA to inform evi-dence-based policies, the role of think tanks in supporting its implementation, building critical capacities and skills, and fostering partnerships and coordination mechanisms. &#8220;By doing so, it endeavours to chart a roadmap for the AfCFTAs success.&#8221; she said in a speech read by Industry Director at the Minister Musokotwane Sichizuwe. Ms Mwale was confident that knowledge sharing and experiences could pave the way for effective policies and practices. She pointed out that establishing inclusive platforms for dialogue, public-private partnerships, and actionable recommendations would be instrumental in driving AfCETAs successful implementation. &#8220;In this context, the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF), in collaboration with key partners and stakeholders, is organising the 2023 Africa Think Tank Summit. \u201cThis summit is a platform for dialogue, bringing together over 200 think tanks and a multitude of stakeholders, including policymakers, SMEs, development practitioners, public institutions, civil society organizations, trade and farmer associations and academia,&#8221; Ms Mwale said. Speaking earlier, Africa Network of Agricultural Policy Research Institutes (ANAPRI)<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p><p class=\"m_6743216731307801517p1\">Executive Director, Nalishebo Meebelo, was expectant that. the event would mobilise the participation of policymakers at various levels in the continent. Her expectation was that participants would discuss and generate strong actionable recommendations concerning the successful implementation of the AfCFTA agreement. Overall, she said, the AfCFTA aimed at increasing socioeconomic development, reduce poverty, and make Africa more competitive in the global economy. &#8220;The expected outcomes of the 2023 Africa Think Tank Summit include a summit communique, a comprehensive report of the summit, a newsletter, and news stories. &#8220;These outcomes will reflect enhanced understanding and commitment to contribute to the AfCFIAs implementation, presenting continental, region al, and national initiatives and interventions,&#8221; Dr Meebelo said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7aa63b0\" data-id=\"7aa63b0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02e85fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"02e85fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_012816655-1024x585.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2680\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_012816655-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_012816655-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_012816655-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_012816655-1536x878.png 1536w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_012816655.png 1792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d98b3d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d98b3d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">ZAMBIA\u2019S CREDIT PROFILE TO IMPROVE<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/h5><p>Policy Monitoring and Research Centre (PMRC) says the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Zambia and its Official Creditor Committee (OCC) will improve the country&#8217;s credit risk profile and access to international capital markets. Last week, Government announced that it had signed an MoU with OCC on the comprehensive debt treatment agreed in June 2023. Its OCC is co-chaired by China and France and vice. chaired by South Africa. The think tank has since commended Government for achieving major milestones in restructuring the country&#8217;s debt. It says the recently signed MoU is a significant step towards achieving long-term debt sustainability for the country. In a statement released yesterday, PMRC executive director Sydney Mwamba says the MoU has far-reaching implications on Zambia&#8217;s economy. The debt restructuring agreement has the potential to enhance the country&#8217;s economic outlook in multiple ways. Firstly, it can attract foreign direct investment (FDI) as the country becomes more financially stable and less risky for investors. &#8220;It will also contribute to a more stable macroeconomic environment, fostering growth and job creation. Improved fiscal sustainability through debt restructuring can also lead to better credit ratings, allowing Zambia to access international capital markets on more favourable terms,&#8221; Mr Mwamba said. He said the milestones achieved in debt restructuring signal a commitment to fiscal responsibility, instilling confidence in the economy. Mr Mwamba said this will lead to a generally positive economic outlook, with prospects for sustainable growth and development. According to PMRC, other benefits include relieving Zambia from the burden of unsustainable debt, providing the country with enough room for fiscal policies and budgetary allocation. &#8220;Upon the successful completion of the debt restructuring process, valuable resources will be freed up, enabling the Zambian government to allocate them towards the pursuit of its development objectives. This will be pivotal for reviving the economy and creating opportunities for the people of Zambia,&#8221; Mr Mwamba said. &#8220;The cooperation of official creditors, notably China, France, and South Africa, underscores the importance of international partnerships in resolving debt crises. PMRC acknowledges the vital role played by these co-chairs and vice-chair in supporting Zambia&#8217;s efforts,&#8221; he said. Mr Mwamba said the next step is for the country to engage with the private creditors, which is essential in ensuring that the debt relief measures are comprehensive and balanced. PMRC acknowledges the efforts which the Zambian government has made towards management of the country&#8217;s debt. Mr Mwamba said Government has enacted into law the Public Debt Management Act number 15 of 2022, to repeal and replace the Loans and Guarantees (Authorisation) Act. &#8220;The Act was introduced to stem excessive public debt and to formalise decision-making responsibilities relating to the contraction of public debt. It has introduced debt ceilings, strengthened parliamentary oversight of debt management by requiring the minister to present an annual borrowing plan to the National Assembly 90 days before the start of the next House business year, and improved debt reporting transparency.&#8221; it observed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-33b12fd\" data-id=\"33b12fd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15c327f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"15c327f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_010700581-1024x585.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2678\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_010700581-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_010700581-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_010700581-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_010700581-1536x878.png 1536w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-23_010700581.png 1792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce249bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ce249bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">US FIRM LOOKING TO INVEST $3.5 BILLION IN ZAMBIA<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/h5><p class=\"m_-9193793129628473195p1\">We also delved into the possibility of replicating K.E. international&#8217;s successful investments in 12 countries across the African continent, and of particular interest is the Smart City in Kenya,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The facility is a 100 percent green project spanning five districts and featuring a 5,000-capacity medical tourism hospital, providing free universal healthcare to its citizens.&#8221; President Hichilema said Government is committed to unlocking new pathways for growth and harnessing previously untapped opportunities that will ultimately benefit the people of Zambia through tangible projects. K.E. International specialises in the establishment of large-scale sustainable and renewable projects. The firm has projects and clients in the USA, India, the Middle East and Africa, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where it is involved in phosphates for fertilisers. The firm also has a portfolio containing more than $8 billion in projects which include the largest waste-to-energy power plant in the world, the world&#8217;s largest convention centre employing some of the latest technologies, a 5,000-acre purpose-built smart city being constructed in western Kenya, and a 1,245-acre sustainable city in Senegal. Meanwhile, President Hichilema yesterday met US acting special coordinator for the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGI) Helania Matza, who was accompanied by the American Ambassador to Zambia, Michael Gonzales. The President said their discussions centred on the developments around the Lobito Corridor and Zambia-Lobito greenfield railway, which connects Zambia and DRC with global markets through Angola. &#8220;This strategic corridor will be a game changer for regional connectivity, trade facilitation and benefit citizens through improved infrastructure, more export possibilities, and easier mobility for the people of our region,&#8221; President Hichilema said online. &#8220;We also, thanked Ms Matza for the special message from President Biden and wished her the best as she visits the region to advance ongoing PGI-led investments.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-275d9c5 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"275d9c5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cf2ec66\" data-id=\"cf2ec66\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c263dfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c263dfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>14th October, 2023<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d343f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8d343f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/category\/biz-corporate\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_220807174-1024x683.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2664\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_220807174-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_220807174-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_220807174-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_220807174.png 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a3cfc6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7a3cfc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/category\/biz-corporate\/\"><b>iiDENTIFii and ZANACO Bank Form Strategic Partnership to Drive Digital Financial Inclusion and Combat Identity Fraud in Zambia<\/b><\/a><\/h5><p>A PARTNERSHIP to accelerate digital financial inclusion while dealing with identify fraud in Zambia has been formed by iiDENTIFii, an enterprise-grade provider of biometric identity solutions and ZANA-CO Bank plc. The recently formed partnership not only fosters financial inclusion but also strengthens data protection and security, driving positive change in Zambia&#8217;s digital landscape. iiDENTIFii founder and Chief Executive Officer, Gur Geva, said the firm&#8217;s objective in Zambia was to address challenges related to digital exclusion, limited access to services, and identity fraud. Mr Geva observed that many individuals across the continent lacked recognised identification, which hampered their access to banking, healthcare, and government services. He said in a statement that the partnership was designed to champion an identity solution relevant to the needs of Zambian consumers and citizens. He pointed out that working with financial institutions such as Zanaco was pivotal, saying by integrating identity verification solutions, the bank could extend its reach to underserved populations, enabling them to open bank accounts, access credit, and make secure transactions. &#8220;Digital platforms and networks are the foundation for a range of sectors such as banking and financial services, telecommunications, health and education.<\/p><p>&#8220;They contribute to the overall growth of the digital economy and are a critical point of access for finance and essential services. The biometric data of individuals is central to this, and often integrated with the e-identity, or e-government and e-commerce services,&#8221; he said.<\/p><p>Historically, biometric identification has been reserved for the privileged few with access to the latest technology. Remote biometric identification seeks to bridge the digital divide by reaching those underserved communities who have historically been excluded.<\/p><p>And Zanaco Chief Risk Officer, Mutisunge Zulu, pointed out that the bank&#8217;s digital banking solutions had significantly impacted underserved communities by breaking down barriers to financial access. He cited that through user-friendly mobile and online banking platforms, Zanaco had brought banking services to areas previously lacking access.<\/p><p>This, according to Mr Zulu, had led to increased financial inclusion, allowing individuals to save, transact, and access credit more easily.&#8221;Zanaco&#8217;s digital banking innovations have transformed customer experiences by providing much-needed convenience and accessibility. This has empowered them to make informed financial decisions, monitor their accounts more closely, and utilise services tailored to their unique needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ca5c267\" data-id=\"ca5c267\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f54e7f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4f54e7f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221459754-1024x681.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2665\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221459754-1024x681.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221459754-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221459754-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221459754-1536x1021.png 1536w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221459754.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9849203 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9849203\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">STARLINK BEST FOR OPEN AREAS-WILL PUSH COST OF INTERNET SERVICES DOWN BY 50%<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/h5><p class=\"m_-9193793129628473195p1\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">PARATUS Zambia commercial lead Geoff Hardwick has warned that the newly launched high-speed satellite internet service provider, Starlink, may not be suitable for cities because of the tall buildings which may interfere with satellite connectivity. Shedding light on the internet service provider, Mr Hardwick said it is important for Zambians to understand how Starlink operates to avoid labelling its launch as unsuccessful.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p><p class=\"m_-9193793129628473195p1\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">&#8220;When you install the equipment for Starlink, it automatically looks for the satellite. It may not work very well in high-rise areas or wooded areas because it would be difficult for the equipment to line up with the satellite. It is ideal for people in remote areas, where there are open spaces. &#8220;It is similar with DStv. When you place the equipment under a tree or where there are tall buildings, you might not be able to see the satellite. It is important that people understand how it works so that they don&#8217;t come back here and say it is a failure,&#8221; he said. And Mr Hardwick has described Starlink as a disruptive internet service, which will push the cost of internet services down by 50 percent. He said the satellite service provider is cheap with high speed and will definitely disrupt the local market. Mr Hardwick said so far the queries on the satellite service have been overwhelming, with Paratus Zambia having received 600 to 800 queries since the announcement was made last week on the launch of the satellite. We have a lot of inquiries that are coming through emails while some people are coming right to our doorstep to ask about the service. We have received queries from lodges, mines and even farms,&#8221; he said. Mr Hardwick said Starlink will greatly improve internet connectively, especially for lodges and businesses that are located in rural areas. Some lodges find it very difficult to make bookings online and the coming in of Starlink is a plus to them. At least they will be able to access a service that is quick and cheap,&#8221; he said. Mr Hardwick also clarified that Paratus Zambia is not Starlink but a reseller of its internet service. He said Paratus is there to install equipment for the customers and has a technical team to deal with all the queries about the service provider. Mr Hardwick said Paratus at the moment is only dealing with the business segment and not those seeking home use services. &#8220;We are focused on those that are in business. We are installing the equipment for them and also doing invoicing. Those that are seeking internet for home use can check on the Starlink website, he said. Mr Hardwick said the equipment for home use is fetching K10,000 while that of business premises has been pegged at K50,000. He foresees improved economic activities with the coming in of Starlink in that people that were unable to carry out certain activities because of low internet connectivity will be able to do so. Mr Hardwick also commended the Zambian government for being technologically progressive, looking at the successful hosting of the Digital Government Conference.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-05d7d5a\" data-id=\"05d7d5a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38938f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"38938f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221925902-1024x575.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2666\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221925902-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221925902-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221925902-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221925902-1536x863.png 1536w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-14_221925902.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7065a89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7065a89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">EV\u2019s DRIVING TO CARBONLESS FUTURE<\/span><\/b><\/a><\/h5><p class=\"m_-9193793129628473195p1\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">What a decade ago seemed far from reality has now become a common narrative &#8211; electric vehicles are no longer a feature on the movie screen, but a growing presence on our roads. EVs offer an opportunity to replace fossil fuels in the transport sector. Actually, the electrification of the transport sector also bring benefits in terms of increased energy efficiency and reduced local pollution. It is in this vein that Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with technical and financial support from the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the Africa Import and Export Bank (Afreximbank) and other strategic partners, are fostering the development of a robust electric vehicle battery (EVB) and renewable energy value chain and market in Africa. The initiative comes in the wake of global transition dynamics towards a decarbonised world and renewable energy, which require transformational shifts in various aspects related to the sustainable management of natural resources. Africa holds significant reserves of strategic battery minerals such as cobalt, lithium, manganese, graphite, nickel, copper, phosphorous, aluminium, and iron, which could support the emergence of a robust regional value chain for batteries, electric cars, and renewable energy. However, Africa only holds about three percent of the total global value chain of batteries and electric vehicles, with EVs already assembled in South Africa, Egypt, Morocco and Ghana. In particular, Zambia and the DRC are both well-endowed and produce high-grade strategic battery minerals, including copper and cobalt, which can be used to fuel economic transformation in both countries through the global desire for a more green energy-driven world economy. The initiative is expected to support the two economies to derive maximum benefits from the vast mineral resources, through creating value locally, and thus stimulating other economic sectors and activities, creating jobs and wealth for its citizens. Commenting on the development, ECA southern Africa regional director Eunice Kamwendo said Zambia and DRC should seize opportunities and move fast into the EV battery manufacturing space, whose market value is projected to reach USS46 trillion by 2045. &#8220;The energy transition and mineral-based transformation is sitting at an important inflection point at this point in global and continental history, and Africa is well positioned to benefit from its mineral resources as the world transitions to net zero. This is a huge opportunity for minerals-based transformation in Africa. &#8220;It is estimated that the electric battery vehicle market will grow to a value of USS8.8 trillion by 2025, and US$46 trillion by 2052, an almost six-fold increase in market value over the next 25 years. The growth in demand for rechargeable batteries is forecast to increase exponentially as global demand for storage of renewable energy grows. This is an immense opportunity for Zambia and the continent\u2026holding the promise for Africa to make quantum leaps in development anchored on the clean energy transition,&#8221; she said. She emphasised the need to develop battery manufacturing special economic zones (SEZ) in DRC and Zambia aimed at attracting investments to add value to mineral products and generate jobs and contribute to economic transformation, while significantly expanding the government&#8217;s fiscal space for social-economic development and the much-needed structural transformation for economic resilience. &#8220;The countries will also contribute to global carbon reduction, a goal that we must pursue and contribute to. especially that Africa is bearing the brunt of climate change effects. \u201cFor Zambia and DRC the opportunities are vast, with large endowments in critical minerals: they are amongst the top critical minerals producers and have potential to provide active materials for lithium-ion battery manufacturing with substantial deposits of nickel, manganese, cobalt, graphite and lithium,&#8221; Ms Kamwendo said. Despite the potential posed by the growing demand for EVs, the sector is not without challenges, and financing infrastructure is a major one. It is understood that logistics play an important role as multiple minerals are involved as main raw material, so there is need for financial resources for infrastructure, power, rail and road networks. So finding innovative financial solutions for the various nodes of the battery value chain will be crucial. In this regard, the Zambian government last week hosted a consultative meeting on the establishment of special economic zones for EV battery manufacturing under the theme &#8220;Needs and financing mechanisms of special economic zones for the EV battery initiative&#8221;. Addressing the delegates, acting Minister of Commerce Trade and Industry Elias Mubanga urged banks to come on board with financing options towards the development of local special economic zones for EVs batter manufacturing. Mr Mubanga said Government is committed to ensure successful implementation of the Zambia-DRC EV battery joint initiative. He said Africa has potential to create wealth through efficient utilisation of its minerals. For the initiative to be successful, banks should come on board, make their contributions and offer financing mechanisms to support the project and its value chains. \u201cThe success of the joint initiative \u00a0will address many of the economic challenges faced. This Is why government is determined to \u00a0see that local people participate fully in this initiative to help the country&#8217;s economic transformation agenda,&#8221; said Mr Mubanga, who is minister of Small Medium enterprises<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p><p class=\"m_-9193793129628473195p1\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Development. And Permanent Secretary for investment and industrialisation John Mulongoti, said Government wants to see its citizens leverage on the critical minerals to develop a viable local EV battery manufacturing. &#8220;The success of the initiative rests on all stakeholders, especially local entrepreneurs to start developing EV battery manufacturing plants and eventually evolve to developing cars,\u201d he said. To attract funding to support the development of local manufacturing of EV batteries, it is pertinent to create a conducive and internationally competitive environment to attract investments on high-tech products and to facilitate the entry of local entrepreneurs into the value chain. There is also need for skills enhancement to support domestic midstream in El battery processing through, inter alia, adequate capacitation of universities and technical trade schools to anchor research and development. &#8221; Going forward, there is need to defining the reserve base through further mineral exploration to define the extent of the resource base to provide investors with information on the size of the reserve ores is important for investment attractiveness. About 45 percent of the country is geologically mapped, and mainly it is copper. About 45 percent of the country is geologically mapped, and mainly it is copper. Another critical issue is access to the raw materials. While more exploration is required, there is need to ensure that participants in the value chain have access to already existing raw materials. In fact, there are genuine concerns about meeting the future energy demand for charging EV batteries with clean and renewable sources. More importantly, the issue of long-term sustainability of EVs is underscored by the supply risks of critical material resources used in the EV batteries. Extraction of some of these material resources are linked to significant environmental impacts as well as social and ethical issues. However, the success of the EV battery manufacturing initiative will largely depend on whether Zambia and Zambians buy into it, and, secondly, whether the country can take practical steps to respond to the challenges and therefore seize the opportunities that exist.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"m_-1019218986652508924p2\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-23d8541 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"23d8541\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d199b3b\" data-id=\"d199b3b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3eb8bd5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3eb8bd5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>8th October, 2023<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7df93a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7df93a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/category\/biz-corporate\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-08_224002205-1024x683.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2553\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-08_224002205-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-08_224002205-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-08_224002205-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-08_224002205-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-08_224002205.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-642f064 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"642f064\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/category\/biz-corporate\/\"><b>TWO PARTNERS TO PROMOTE DIGITAL REVOLUTION<\/b><\/a><\/h5><p>A partnership to catalyse Zambia&#8217;s digital revolution has been formed between Paratus Zambia and Lusaka Internet Exchange (LIXP).

Ms Lindunda said Zambia&#8217;s honey is on high demand on the US and South African markets because it is organic. She, however, said it is easy to export the product to the US markets. &#8220;This is a good deal for the company. They have a farm where they produce their own honey and I am sure they will for incentives for the local be able to meet the demand. It was a lot of work and they had of doing business. to work with USAID just to put everything in place,\u201d she said. Ms Lindunda said Zambian honey is organic and highly products and machinery for sought on international markets for health reasons. She observed that trade financing and facilitation<\/p><p class=\"m_-1019218986652508924p1\">remains one of the biggest challenges facing local enterprises. Ms Lindunda, however, said ZAM has been advocating for incentives for the local manufacturers to ease the cost of doing business. She said the institution had proposed to Government to zero rate value added tax (VAT) charged on honey products and machinery for processing it in the 2024 national budget. Ms Lindunda said though the proposals were not considered in the 2024 budget, they would have helped the farmers, especially those in rural areas to earn decent income from the business venture. She said most beekeepers are in rural areas and the proposal would have greatly helped to improve their livelihood. And speaking in an<\/p><p class=\"m_-1019218986652508924p1\">interview yesterday, Luano Honey managing director Mit Pandoliker confirmed the honey deal with the US market. Mr Pandoliker said the company is supposed to deliver 700 metric tones of honey to the US in the next twelve months and the first consignment of 20 metric tonnes left last week. He said the company has been working on the export project for three years but the deliveries were delaved due to COVID-19. Mr Pandoliker said the company works with close to 5,000 beekeepers, mainly those that are based in rural areas. And Ms Lindunda says most Zambian enterprises have very little information about the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which is expiring in 2025. AGOA provides eligible sub-Saharan African countries with duty-free access to the US market for over 1,800 products, in addition to the more than 5,000 products that are eligible for duty-free access under the Generalized System of Preferences Programme. Ms Lindunda said Zambians can still take advantage of the initiative that is coming to an end in 2025 to export products to the US markets.<\/p><p class=\"m_-1019218986652508924p2\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-681628d elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"681628d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-52312ad\" data-id=\"52312ad\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cda5f0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cda5f0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>4th October, 2023<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-192af47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"192af47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c2706667-0887-421b-8203-ebf7e09889fc\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-04_233711737-1024x683.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2524\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-04_233711737-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-04_233711737-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-04_233711737-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-04_233711737-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/image_2023-10-04_233711737.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4a1d4c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4a1d4c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c2706667-0887-421b-8203-ebf7e09889fc\">Vedanta will take back ownership of Konkola Copper Mines (KCM<\/a>)<\/h5><h5><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-size: 16px; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-astglobalcolor8 ); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\">Vedanta will take back ownership of Konkola Copper Mines<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-size: 16px; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-astglobalcolor8 ); font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;\">\u00a0(KCM), four years after the group was removed from its operations in Zambia by Edgar Lungu\u2019s government.

Chairperson Reynolds Bow says price indications of petroleum products on the international market are not good, heading into fuel pump price reviews next weekend. In an interview,\u00a0Wednesday, Bowa said international price of petroleum products had continued to rise over the past one month and this was a concern.\u00a0&#8220;The indications are not good, the international prices have continued to rise over the past one month and this is still on account that Russian production is still sanctioned and that OPEC countries continue to restrict their output. So, this forces the international prices to go up. In terms of the exchange rate, we watch it every day just as we watch the international prices. There has been some devaluation in the local currency. It&#8217;s not too bad, it has been moving slowly, which is a good indicator, but we wait until 10 days from now and we then will reach a conclusion on what the position is,&#8221; he said. And asked whether he would feel misquoted if this journalist reported that ERB had failed to rule out a possibility of petrol hitting K30 per litre, Bowa said he didn&#8217;t mention any figures. \u201cNo Chamuka, I didn&#8217;t tell you or mention any figures but what I\u2019m saying is that international fuel prices have continued to rise, he said.\u00a0Meanwhile, Bowa said<br \/>ERB felt the pressure regarding the current fuel pump prices. &#8220;We do feel the pressure (with where the current pump prices are). You know, we are very conscious of the fact that petroleum prices affect all aspects of our lives.\u00a0Accordingly, if the price is too high, it has a ripple effect on other goods and services. That is why for the factors that we can&#8217;t control, we are trying everything possible to do so, said Bowa. &#8220;As I speak to you now, I am just on my way from Dar-es-Salaam where we have been conducting inspections of the pipeline to try and identify any bottlenecks that exist and do what can be done to smooth those out so that we can deliver petroleum products into the country as efficiently as possible. And all this is in an effort to keep the cost down&#8221;.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1d7d4b5\" data-id=\"1d7d4b5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2527eac elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2527eac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/category\/biz-corporate\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_122714264.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2494\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_122714264.png 512w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_122714264-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_122714264-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95ab07b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"95ab07b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/category\/biz-corporate\/\"><b>AFRICAN EXPERTS CHART WAY FORWARD FOR A.I<\/b><\/a><\/h5><p>Experts at the Future of Artificial Intelligence, AI automation, and information security in Africa Global Summit 2023 have discussed the need to create technological solutions relevant to the continent.

During the summit that took place in Livingstone recently, it was also acknowledged that A.I and automation had immense potential to contribute significantly to Africa&#8217;s industrial growth, economic development and improved livelihoods. The three-day summit was organised by Compu-Connect Education, an Information Technology (IT) and smart technology company. Compu- Connect Education is contributing toward raising awareness regarding A.I conversation in Africa following opportunities and challenges that the technology brings. Compu- Connect Education Chief Executive Officer, Sarah Luyele Namu, said the presence of several seasoned and experienced captains of industry at the summit served as proof of the significance of Al and information security. Ms Njamu, who served as summit chairperson, said the most urgent issues in artificial intelligence, automation, and information security were covered in each session during the summit, which was a masterclass in and of itself. She pointed out that the presentations were dynamic and related due to the speakers knowledge, competence, and passion to convey the summit in an engaging way. &#8220;The summit exceeded all expectations in its excellence. It was a great success mainly due to the event&#8217;s rigorous planning and excellent execution.\u201d As Compu-Connect Education, we wish to thank the government of Zambia through the Ministry of Technology and Science and the media houses in Zambia for the unwavering support received during the preparation period and has committed to hosting this global summit in Zambia annually as a result of the initial events success,&#8221; Ms Njamu said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6dc8b59\" data-id=\"6dc8b59\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6a3f85 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d6a3f85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/category\/biz-corporate\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_122819572-1024x678.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2495\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_122819572-1024x678.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_122819572-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_122819572-768x509.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_122819572-1536x1017.png 1536w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_122819572-2048x1356.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-635d09b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"635d09b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/category\/biz-corporate\/\">CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION PUSHING UP DEMAND FOR METALS, MINERALS, SAYS MINING CHIEF<\/a><\/h5><p>By BUUMBA CHIMBULU BARRICK Gold Chief Executive, Mark Bristow, says the clean energy transition is creating an unprecedented demand for metals and minerals. According to Mr Bristow, the market&#8217;s demand for instant gratification while this was happening was driving Mergers and Acquisitions, which he believed was not always conducive to investment in sustainable projects but rather the delivery of short-term returns. \u201cThese growth projects are vital, not only for the resources needed for cleaner energy but for the development of emerging economies,\u201d he said on Tuesday at the Gold Forum Americas conference. He also projected a 30 percent increase in production by 2030 on the back of the growth options embedded in the firm&#8217;s asset portfolio. He also pointed out that Barrick owned and operates six of the world&#8217;s Tier 1 goldmines, and was poised to expand this &#8220;best-in-class&#8221; asset portfolio through continued reserve replacement and the potential for new world-class discoveries being pursued across many of the world&#8217;s most prolific gold belts.&#8221; In 2019 our strategy for the new Barrick included a mandate to grow our copper business, which we recognised as strategically important at that relatively early stage,&#8221; Mr Bristow said. Meanwhile, Mining.Com reported that earlier this year, RBC Dominion Securities analyst, Sam Crittenden, detailed a looming shortfall in copper supply driven by the energy transition, which will require an additional one percent of supply, the equivalent of one large copper mine, coming online every year. Mr Bristow said once fully ramped up, Reko Diq and Lumwana were expected to become two of the world&#8217;s top 20 copper mines by annual production sustained over significant multi-decade mine lives. \u201cIf the forecasts of a copper shortage are even partly correct, this will give us a significant additional upside, Mr Bristow told reporters at the conference. \u201cWe not only have a sustainable, fully budgeted 10-year base plan, we also have a growth plan that sees us increase production by 30 percent by the end of the decade, which I believe is unique in our industry,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-04e2853 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"04e2853\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c858b9c\" data-id=\"c858b9c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-272e91b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"272e91b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>15th SEPTEMBER, 2023<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01161c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"01161c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/category\/biz-corporate\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_123645975.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2496\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_123645975.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_123645975-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_123645975-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_123645975-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-599aecf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"599aecf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/category\/biz-corporate\/\"><b>MINING SECTOR TO SEE INFLUX OF UK INVESTOR SAYS ENVOY<\/b><\/a><\/h5><p>THE United Kingdom (UK) is confident that Zambia will have an influx of investors in the mining sector from that country following the recently signed deal on critical minerals.<\/p><p>Zambia is among major copper producers in the world and also has deposits of critical minerals such as cobalt, manganese and nickel. Last month, UK Foreign Minister, James Cleverly, announced that his country and Zambia had signed a &#8220;ground-breaking&#8221; Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in mining of critical minerals. This is aimed at generating US$3.17 billion of British private sector investment in Zambia&#8217;s mining, minerals and renewable energy sectors. Commenting on the deal, Zambian British high commission deputy high commissioner and development director, Sam Waldock pointed out five key focus areas for the agreement. Mr Waldock named these as geological mapping, UK investments into the mining sector, supporting environmental, social standards in the mining sector and local content which would help Zambians get maximum benefits from the mining sector. He said this in an interview on the sidelines of the 2023 Zambia Impact Investment Summit (ZIIS23) in Lusaka. &#8220;One of the most exciting things is that we just signed an MoU with Zambia on critical minerals and were happy to provide support to Zambia in five different areas. &#8220;We want the mining sector to produce jobs for Zambia and we want Zambians to take a bigger share of the mining sector to get more value out of it. We are supporting Zambian businesses in the value chains to make sure that when big mining firms come to Zambia they are not international, they are buying Zambian, he said. Mr Waldock said there were already a number of UK supported mining operations in Zambia that were opened in the last two years. He announced that more UK investment in the sector were currently in the pipeline. \u201cWe are excited about these. They are still in the pipeline and they require more work to be done, we are very excited about the potential of the mining sector in Zambia. &#8220;We also need to get copper production up and that is where we need the new investments to come in and that is where we are looking at more UK companies coming in, Mr Waldock said. He recalled that another deal had been signed with Zambia in 2020 on green growth compact targeting one billion pounds of new investments into the country. That, he said, had been delivered through different sectors into investing into Small and Medium Enterprises, noting that over US$1 billion investment had been invested.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-731afc5\" data-id=\"731afc5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6f3f5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d6f3f5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/diggers.news\/business\/2023\/09\/15\/zctu-urges-govt-to-raise-paye-threshold-to-k7000\/#:~:text=THE%20Zambia%20Congress%20of%20Trade,in%20the%202023%20national%20budget\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_124952232.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2503\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_124952232.png 512w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_124952232-289x300.png 289w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe502eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fe502eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/diggers.news\/business\/2023\/09\/15\/zctu-urges-govt-to-raise-paye-threshold-to-k7000\/#:~:text=THE%20Zambia%20Congress%20of%20Trade,in%20the%202023%20national%20budget\"><b>THE ZAMBIA CONGRESS OF TRADE<span class=\"m_5144886320420705283apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>UNIONS (ZCTU) HAS URGED GOVERNMENT TO INCREASE THE PAY AS YOU EARN (PAYE THRESHOLD TO K7,000 IN VIEW OF THE HIGH COST OF LIVING<\/b><\/a><\/h5><p>Last year, government increased the PAYE tax threshold from K4,500 to K4,800 in the 2023 national budget. Giving his 2024 budget expectations, Tuesday, ZCTU president Blake Mulala said increasing the PAYE threshold to K7,000 would help cushion the high cost of living among citizens. &#8220;Our expectation is that we intend to see the non-taxable income increased from the current threshold of K4,800. And the reason we are calling for that is because there has been an increase in the food basket and it will be very important to see that it is increased from K4,800 to somewhere around K7,000 for the workers to meet the basic needs of life. Currently with the cost of living we are wondering how the workers are making it to meet their needs. And this has created a lot of I think people going to get credits from the individuals who are charging them at very high interest rates,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The cost of living has been a little bit higher, so, if this is going to be from K4,800, bring it to K7,000. That will be a relief to the workers because the K4,800, the cost of living in Lusaka for a family of five is almost going to K8,000, K9,000 and now if you have a K4,800, what is that now? So, this is what we expect to see on the Pay As You Earn and the non-taxable incomes. The minimum I think should at least [be] raised to K7,000&#8221;. Mulala also urged government to allocate more resources to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security in order for it to better undertake its obligations.<\/p><p>&#8220;Other than that, we expect to see more allocation to the Ministry of Labour. The Ministry of Labour has a critical role to play in our economy and this is a ministry which takes care of the players in the economy in terms of workers. For us to have a decent work agenda improved, we need to have an active inspectorate. There had been not much inspection being carried out by the Ministry of Labour and this is because of the poor budgets which they&#8217;ve been receiving in the past. And the Ministry of Labour in the eyes of Zambian workers, they would think that they are not helping matters. It&#8217;s not about helping matters but they&#8217;ve lacked the tools for them to go flat out and monitor compliance among the investors whom we have in the country. And the moment when the workers, who are the drivers of the economy are not motivated, our economy cannot grow,&#8221; said Mulala.<\/p><p>&#8220;This is a social justice we are talking about and if we cannot have more funding given to the Ministry of Labour, the dream of having decent work cannot be reached because the laws which are being formulated, the laws which are being put in place to regulate the labour industry, they are not kept, they are not obeyed. And the compliance levels cannot be monitored without an active team of labour inspections. This has left us in the past only to see that there are reactive types of inspections. And these reactive inspections are where we hear of an instance of maybe there&#8217;s an accident, maybe workers have protested and when the workers are now protesting, that now calls the attention of the ministry to say let&#8217;s go and check what is happening to company A or company B. So, from this budget, we expect more allocation to the Ministry of Labour&#8221;.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8504075\" data-id=\"8504075\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-021270f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"021270f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_132547847-1024x683.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2508\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_132547847-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_132547847-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_132547847-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_132547847-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image_2023-09-24_132547847-2048x1365.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5035e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a5035e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daily-mail.co.zm\/business\/\">CEC BOOSTS ZAMBIA DRC CONNECTOR<\/a><\/h5><p class=\"m_5144886320420705283p1\">COPPERBELT Energy Corporation (CEC) is currently installing reactive power compensation (RPC) equipment on its interconnector line with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to boost electricity transmission.

This initiative aims to reinforce voltage support and enhance the capacity for power transfers between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo,&#8221; says CEC head of corporate communications Verona Nkolola.<\/p><p class=\"m_5144886320420705283p1\">&#8220;The ambitious project, aimed at enhancing transfer capabilities, has been meticulously planned and divided into two phases.&#8221; Ms Nkolola was responding to a press query on the importance of interconnectors in energy exports. She said the initial stage of the project is yet to be finalised in the first quarter of 2024 and will witness a significant boost in power transfers, reaching 340MW. The second phase is stated to commence in the course of 2024, with the primary objective of further augmenting transfer capacity to 400MW,&#8221; Ms Nkolola said. She said interconnectors play a crucial role in driving the expansion of the energy sector and ensuring sustainable economic development. Ms Nkolola said interconnectors have the potential to promote sustainable development by facilitating access to cheaper and sustainable energy sources. They facilitate exportation and importation of power between countries; those with excess and those with a deficit. Interconnectors also encourage the diversification of the energy mix by allowing the incorporation of energy produced from various technologies that may not be easily accessible in a specific country,&#8221; she said. Ms Nkolola said the Zambia-DRC interconnector is a significant milestone, as it is the only transmission line which has been commissioned in the region in the past two decades. She said this demonstrates CEC&#8217;s unique and valuable expertise to plan and install interconnector lines.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-87880e7 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"87880e7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eefc472\" data-id=\"eefc472\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-401cce5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"401cce5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>24th August, 2023<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6777759 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6777759\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailynationzambia.com\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image_2023-08-27_220231259.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2443\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image_2023-08-27_220231259.png 750w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image_2023-08-27_220231259-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image_2023-08-27_220231259-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f24d85a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f24d85a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailynationzambia.com\/\">Government Imposes Restriction on Stock Movement<\/a>&#8220;<\/h5><p>Government has enforced temporary restrictions on maize grain and mealie meal until further notice.

He said by processing wild fruits into jams , jellies , and juices , communities can tap into urban markets , generating income streams that are resilient to market fluctuations .<\/p><p>Mr. Kamfwa said by recognizing the value of various plant species for medicinal , culinary , or cosmetic purposes, local communities become stewards of their environment. He said by creating livelihood opportunities ,reducing dependence on forest resources , and fostering biodiversity conservation , the promotion of NTFPs can pave the way for more harmonious relationship between people and nature. Mr. Kamfwa said this shift in perspective aligns with the broader goal of promoting sustainable forest management and biodiversity preservation . Thus, the sustainable harvest of NTFPs encourage the conservation of biodiversity .<\/p><p>\u201cWhile the concept off value addition to forest products holds great promise , it is not without challenges . Access to markets , technical know-how and infrastructure are critical factors that need to be addressed to fully realize the potential benefits,\u201d he said. ZNFCAs emphasis on value addition to forest products represents a proactive and sustainable approach to addressing both economic and environmental concerns. Mr. Kamfwa called for collaborative efforts between government agencies , non- governmental organizations, and local communities to overcome the challenges .<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-87ac460\" data-id=\"87ac460\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2401e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a2401e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/2023\/08imf-wb-blamed-for-zambias-economic-hardships\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image_2023-08-27_220340057.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2445\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image_2023-08-27_220340057.png 750w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image_2023-08-27_220340057-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image_2023-08-27_220340057-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd1057b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd1057b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/dailynationzambia.com\/2023\/08imf-wb-blamed-for-zambias-economic-hardships\">IMF, WB Blamed for Zambia&#8217;s Hardships<\/a>&#8220;<\/h5><p>THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have been blasted for imposing harsh economic conditions on Zambia which have condemned Zambians into extreme economic hardships. Bob Sichinga, the ex-Minister of Commerce, Trade, and Industry is blaming the Bretton Woods twins for the economic hardships Zambians have been subjected to because of the imposed condition such as the phasing out of the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP). Mr Sichinga told the IMF and the World Bank to stay away from dictating decisions for Zambia economic trajectory as the country has equally educated citizens able to make sound decisions. Mr Sichinga said the IMF should not dictate to Zambia on what to do.<\/p><p>He was speaking at a Mid-Year Economic Performance and 2024-2026 Medium Term Budget Plan yesterday in Lusaka where the IMF Resident Representative, Preya Sharma, were present, He said the IMF and their counterpart, the World Bank, should instead listen to what Zambia wanted to do to develop as opposed to imposing its harsh conditions which were not affecting those in leadership but the ordinary citizens.<\/p><p>\u201cIMF you are part of the problem. I am not a diplomat, so I am not going to be polite to you. You are part of the problem. Your institution has been part of the problem together with your colleagues at the World Bank. So please change the attitude rather than coming here to tell us what we should do. Listen to what we want to have development,\u201d Mr Sichinga said. He said there is no way a country could develop in five years as per their programme Zambia was signed on.<\/p><p>\u201cYou come for five years. You bring these programmes for five years after that, you walk away. No development takes place in five years. It does not, so, we want you to change your approach. You should listen to us. We are equally educated just as you guys are at the IMF and the World Bank,\u201d Mr Sichinga said.<\/p><p>Mr Sichinga was of the view that the IMF was responsible for some decisions such as phasing out the Farmers Input Support Programme (FISP) and urged Government to instead fix, change and enhance the programme as opposed to phasing it out. \u201cDo not get rid of FISP. Do not even try it. Fix it, change it, enhance it, and make it more efficient. This electronic voucher system is not the solution because your register is what you have to sort out,\u201d Mr Sichinga said. He also accused the banking sector of suffocating Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by offering high interest rates of around 26 percent.<\/p><p>\u201cYour colleagues from the banking sector are part of the problem. You borrow best rates from the Bank of Zambia around nine percent and lend it at 26 percent. Which business will survive and that is minimal,\u201d Mr Sichinga wondered .Meanwhile, Mr Sichinga said it was time to review the policies in the mining sector and add value to the copper. \u201cIt is about time that we started talking about specific value chains and value addition. Take that copper, the 800, 000 metric tonnes out of the market make the products here,\u201d Mr Sichinga said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e120b10 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e120b10\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-899d6e1\" data-id=\"899d6e1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65c5b21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"65c5b21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>17th august, 2023<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-004cf42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"004cf42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.napsa.co.zm\/download\/call-for-investment-proposals-in-renewable-energy\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"923\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/modern-wind-farm-line-a-rolling-hillside-1.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2407\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/modern-wind-farm-line-a-rolling-hillside-1.jpg 923w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/modern-wind-farm-line-a-rolling-hillside-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/modern-wind-farm-line-a-rolling-hillside-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/modern-wind-farm-line-a-rolling-hillside-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 923px) 100vw, 923px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55fd6ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"55fd6ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.napsa.co.zm\/download\/call-for-investment-proposals-in-renewable-energy\/\" target=\"_new\">CALL FOR INVESTMENT PROPOSALS IN RENEWABLE ENERGY &#8211; National Pension Scheme Authority<\/a><\/h5><p>The National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA) has issued a call for investment proposals in the renewable energy sector.

Kasonde Mwenda , the EEF President says the party has observed two primary variables that were contributing to the alarming climate change situation , which include poor policy direction of the UPND government and the adverse impacts of climate change.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr. Mwenda said that the EEF had noticed with grave concern that several decisions made by the UPND government had contributed to the decline in food security. \u201cOne such decision is the export of maize to neighboring countries . While we acknowledge the importance of regional cooperation and trade, it is essential to prioritize our own citizens food security before fulfilling external demands. By exporting maize when we are already facing a shortage , UPND\u2019s policy direction raises serious concerns about the well-being of Zambians,\u201d Mr. Mwenda said. He said the party had observed the phasing out of the Farmer Input Support Program\u00a0 (FISP) subsidy , which had traditionally played a critical role in supporting small- scale farmers and ensuring their ability to produce enough food for their families and the nation was a threat to food security.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr. Mwenda said the selling of maize and mealie meal had undermined the country\u2019s food security and placed the livelihoods of countless farmers at risk. He said Zambia, like many other countries , was facing the adverse impacts of climate change, erratic weather patterns , prolonged droughts , and other climatic disturbances , which had already begun affecting agricultural production. He feared that the climatic changes would undoubtedly result in lower yields of maize, as well as other cash crops, posing a significant threat to our food security.\u00a0 The combination of poor government policies in the agricultural sector and the impacts of climate change is a recipe for disaster . The EEF Zambia fears that if urgent action is not taken to address these issues, the consequences for our food security will be severe , potentially leading to increased hunger , malnutrition. And poverty across the nation, \u201c Mr. Mwenda said.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d62dfa0\" data-id=\"d62dfa0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e69690 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8e69690\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailynationzambia.com\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"617\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/making-a-budget-tracking-finances.jpg\" class=\"elementor-animation-grow attachment-large size-large wp-image-2412\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/making-a-budget-tracking-finances.jpg 617w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/making-a-budget-tracking-finances-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mayandco.law\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/making-a-budget-tracking-finances-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4af6602 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4af6602\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailynationzambia.com\/\">Invitation for Bids (IFB)<\/a><\/h5><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tender for the Building Maintenance Contract for a period of one year at the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development Headquarters<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.The Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development through the department of Human Resource Administration has received financing from the Treasury towards the cost of maintenance of the building at the ministry of local government and rural development headquarters for the\u00a0<strong>Tender for the building maintenance contract for a period of one year at the Ministry OF Local Government and Rural Development Headquarters.<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.The ministry now invites sealed bids from eligible and qualified bidders for the above tender.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-astglobalcolor8 );\">3.

The Community Projects components had a provision of about 2.7 billion kwacha, of which the 298 million kwacha was added.
