In difficult economic times, Zambia encourages consumers to buy local goods

Nowadays © stepmap.de As economic conditions worsen under the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, Zambia is looking for ways to boost domestic industries. In February 2021, Zambia’s Agriculture Ministry restricted imports of onions and potatoes into the country, saying local farmers can meet the demand for the two vegetables. The ruling affects companies such as South African-owned supermarket chains that operate in Zambia and import vegetables from South Africa. The import restriction “is in line with the presidential directive to prioritise and promote consumption of locally produced fruits and vegetables,” Songawayo Zyambo, permanent secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, wrote to the Zambia Revenue Authority, which enforces import restrictions at the country’s borders.

Zambia has set itself a goal of universal access to financial services

01/03/2021 – by Derrick Silimina Nowadays © stepmap.de Financial products such as bank accounts and bank loans help people to manage their money and invest in assets such as houses and education. When households have secure bank accounts and reliable channels for making payments, they are better able to make large purchases and to save money for the future. As a result, when most people in a community use financial products, businesses are more likely to invest in those communities. That is why many developing countries, including Zambia, aim for universal access to basic financial products. But they have a long way to go to get there. More than 40 % of Zambian adults have no access to quality financial products, and about 60 % of adults who have such access do not use it, according to Zambia’s National Financial Inclusion Strategy paper for 2017-2022. In vast areas of Zambia, especially remote rural regions, people still rely on cash or barter, or use unregulated and

In Africa, sisters lead the way to replace orphanages with family care

Sr. Caroline Ngatia of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Sisters of Eldoret shares breakfast with the street families in Nairobi, Kenya. Her center, Kwetu Home of Peace, accommodates homeless boys ages 8 to 14 who are rescued from the streets and slums in Nairobi and inducted into a process of reintegration. (Doreen Ajiambo) The goal is as simple as it is complicated to achieve: Shift the care of children from institutions like orphanages to a family or family-like environment. Catholic sisters in three African nations Uganda, Zambia and Kenya are leading the way in creating new models for caring for children. Their efforts are the core of the recent launch of Catholic Care for Children International (CCCI) under the auspices of the International Union of Superiors General (UISG) one of many faith groups leading policy reform and family-based alternatives to institutional care.

Zambia's rise in dead-on-arrival cases may result from misconceptions about Covid-19 | D+C

27/12/2020 – by Derrick Silimina Nowadays © stepmap.de Zambian health officials are grappling with a wave of dead-on-arrival cases at the countryâs main referral hospital. The spike in cases may be related to residents not following Covid-19 guidelines, as well as to widespread misconceptions about the virus. Zambian health officials have spotted a worrisome trend: More and more patients are dying before reaching University Teaching Hospital (UTH), the country’s largest referral hospital. “We have recorded an increase in the number of Brought-In-Dead (BID) cases,” says Dr Lloyd Mulenga, director of infectious diseases at Zambia’s Health Ministry. According to him, UTH recorded 4,339 BID cases from early June to early November as compared to 3,711 in the same period in 2019.
