DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis work is about life in Zambia. It's also a general introduction to Zambia, the land and its people. Subjects covered include the country's history and geography, ethnic groups and their cultures. All the provinces of Zambia and their natural resources and important landmarks are also covered in the book. So are towns and cities in each of the provinces. Much of the work is focused on how the people live in their traditional societies and in the towns and cities, including the people of different ethnic groups - some from neighbouring countries especially Tanzania and Malawi - who work in the mines in the Copperbelt Province and how they interact with each other and with the indigenous people of Zambia. Some of the people who may find this work to be useful include tourists and others going to Zambia or anybody else who wants to learn some basic facts about the country.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKZambia is a landlocked mineral dependent country in Southern Africa whose history is intimately entwined with the copper mining industry. Having gained Independence from Britain in 1964 at the height of a copper boom, the country experienced a slow and painful economic decline over the next quarter century. However, following a traumatic and protracted process of economic adjustment through the 1990s and early 2000s, Zambia's economic potential is now better than it has been at any time since Independence. This book, which contains a set of rigorous but accessible essays by a range of Zambian and international scholars, seeks to examine the challenges and opportunities that currently face Zambian policymakers as they seek to harness the country's valuable natural assets to broad-based and sustainable economic growth over the coming decades. Written in a non-technical manner by leading scholars in the field, the chapters address key challenges in the areas of natural resource management, agriculture, trade, employment and migration, education, finance, and investment. This is the second volume in the Africa: Policies for Prosperity series following on from the successful first volume on Kenya.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKZambia's economy is not growing fast. Poverty is on the rise. The quality of economic governance is on the decline. And public resources are not well spent. The badly needed first steps to reverse this situation are to start getting the budgetary allocations right and to make sure those allocations go where they're intended. Addressing the longstanding challenges that Zambia faces in public expenditure management will require strong political will. For Zambia to assure that public accountability is enduring and not dependent on the government of the day, it must strengthen budget processes and institutions that can provide public oversight and promote basic checks and balances. This report provides an analysis of how Zambia can strengthen budgetary processes and institutions for accountability and effective service delivery to its citizens.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn 24 October 1964, the Republic of Zambia was formed, replacing the territory which had formerly been known as Northern Rhodesia. Fifty years on, Andrew Sardanis provides a sympathetic but critical insider's account of Zambia, from independence to the present. He paints a stark picture of Northern Rhodesia at decolonisation and the problems of the incoming government, presented with an immense uphill task of rebuilding the infrastructure of government and administration - civil service, law, local government and economic development. As a friend and colleague of many of the most prominent names in post-independence Zambia - from the presidencies of founding leader Kenneth Kaunda to the incumbent Michael Sata - Sardanis uses his unique eyewitness experience to provide an inside view of a country in transition.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKZambia, also known as the Republic of Zambia, is a South African nation located in the Southern African region. It is bordered by Angola to the west, Tanzania to the northeast, Mozambique to the southeast, Zimbabwe to the south, Namibia to the southwest, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the northwest. The country has a population of around 18 million people and its capital city is Lusaka. Zambia is primarily a mining country, with copper being its major export. The country has also made strides in developing its tourism industry, with attractions such as Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and several national parks that promote wildlife conservation and eco-tourism. Despite its natural resources and potential for development, Zambia remains one of the poorest countries in the world, with a high level of poverty, unemployment, and income inequality. However, in recent years, the government has initiated several programs aimed at reducing poverty, improving access to education and healthcare, and diversifying the economy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKZambia stands out in Africa as one of the continent's most peaceful countries. In its early years as an independent state, Zambia became a regional bulwark against imperialism and colonial domination and South African apartheid. Today, it stands out as an important example of Africa's recent democratization, experiencing both incredible success as well as some notable setbacks. The country is also one of the most urbanized in Sub-Saharan Africa. As a result of this urban influx, Zambia's diverse ethno-linguistic groups interact regularly. Moreover, many contemporary Zambian households, especially those in cities, are also exposed to the media, technology, and influences of western urbanized cultures, from Internet cafes to hip hop music. The interesting ways that tradition and modernity conflict and combine in contemporary Zambia are prime considerations in this book. This book explores Zambia's culture, with an eye toward its historical experiences and its particular endowments. It focuses on how traditional and modern interact, and sometimes collide, in the country through topics such as religion, gender roles and family, cuisine, the arts, literature, and more. The major groups are examined to give the reader an idea about how many Zambians live.
