The 2021 increment in Constituency Development Funds (CDF) vis-a-vis population growth requires districts to put plans in place that drive the socio-economic development of their districts. In this regard, Kabwe has developed an Integrated Development Plan (IDP). The IDP attempts to align itself with appropriate developmental interventions towards industrialisation, infrastructure growth, human settlement and urban revitalisation to achieve a city status. Integrated development planning is an approach to planning that is aimed at involving the local community to find suitable interventions for sustainable development. It is the alignment of the community’s needs with the district budget. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for all the inhabitants of our district. We have taken into account the existing conditions, problems and resources available for development to set a framework for how land should be used. Priority will be given to what infrastructure and services are needed and how the environment should be protected. In Kabwe, we aim to apply our resources and people in such a manner that it enables us to address all issues pertaining to economic development, social upliftment, expansion, and maintenance of infrastructure, as well as ecological sustainability. We also believe that the District Administration, Local Authority, citizens and business community must form a strong partnership with the common goal of developing a preferred city to live in. In doing so, we can serve, grow and succeed together. Patrick Chishala (Mr) His Worship the Mayor of Kabwe KABWE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL i KABWE DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2023-2033 (CITIZENS VERSION) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am happy that the formulation of the Kabwe Integrated Development Plan (IDP) has gone well and has engendered collaboration across participating institutions. It is therefore imperative that coordination, communication and building synergies among all stakeholders is enhanced. I wish to express gratitude to His Worship the Mayor of Kabwe, the Honourable Member of Parliament for Kabwe Central, Honourable Chrizoster H. Phiri and Honourable. Sydney Mushanga for Bwacha Constituency. I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to USAID Local Impact Governance Project for their unwavering support during the IDP preparation process which rendered a wide citizen participation and collection of spatial data in accordance with the requirements of the Urban and Regional Planning Act No. 3 of 2015. I further wish to extend my gratitude to the members of the District Development Coordinating Committee (DDCC), and the Provincial Physical Planning Authority for the technical support and guidance provided during the formulation process of the IDP as well as every stakeholder that participated in the development of this plan. The invaluable wealth of experience and commitment by the members in their respective portfolios is greatly valued and made it possible to identify the appropriate indicators including the establishment of baselines and targets that have been used in the IDP. Finally, I would like to thank the technical working group for the extra work invested in preparing and working tirelessly to consolidate the various inputs into the IDP. Lennox Shimwambwa (Mr) District Commissioner KABWE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL ii KABWE DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2023-2033 (CITIZENS VERSION) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY T he formulation process of the Kabwe Integrated Development Plan (KIDP) was done through a participatory approach. This included public consultations, zones, wards, the District Development Coordinating Committee and development partners. The process involved intense consultations, document reviews and the district situation analysis to reflect the local reality and create a sense of ownership of the plan by the citizens of Kabwe. The KIDP is well aligned with the country’s aspiration of “socio- economic transformation for improved livelihood” as espoused in the Eighth National Development Plan (8NDP) and the Vision 2030 target of becoming a “prosperous middle-income nation by 2030”. The KIDP is anchored on the four strategic development areas of the 8NDP aimed at improving the living conditions of the citizens of Kabwe namely; Economic Transformation and Job Creation, Human and Social Development, Environmental Sustainability, and Good Governance Environment. The KIDP is critical in guiding the development of the district as it seeks to address the challenges it is facing as highlighted during the participation process. The KIDP has further outlined key potential areas of investment that will create forward and backward linkages and revamp the local economy. The plan is cognisant of the impact of climate change on the district and therefore endeavors to promote climate change and adaptation strategies such as sustainable agroforestry and smart agricultural practices. The KIDP embraces the concept of inclusive development in addressing the needs of the vulnerable in the district such as youths, women and persons with disabilities. The KIDP envisions the district as a sustainable, vibrant, inclusive, well- connected and smart city by 2050, that will enhance quality service delivery and create an enabling environment for economic growth and development using Information, Communication and Technology (ICT). The task ahead is therefore huge and the fruition of this plan requires commitment and collaborative efforts by all stakeholders to ensure its successful implementation.

Legal framework for IDPs “ • IDPs are backed by Laws such as the Urban and Regional Planning Act No. 3 of 2015; and the National Planning and Budgeting Act No. 1 of 2020. • The Urban and Regional Planning Act No.3 of 2015 states that local authorities must initiate the formulation of an IDP within six months after a new council is elected. • To create this plan, consultations were held with many different groups, including community leaders, government officials, and business owners. The plan will run for 10 years (2023 – 2033) but will be reviewed and updated after 5 years. 1 KABWE DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2023-2033 (CITIZENS VERSION) C. Expected outcomes from the Kabwe IDP. The Kabwe IDP aims to achieve several important things. Some of these are to: 1. Make the best use of limited resources: The plan helps Kabwe focus on its most important needs, considering what resources are available and finding smart solutions to problems. 2. Improve services for everyone: The plan helps decide where to invest money to make things better, involving everyone who needs to be part of the decision- making process. 3. Attract more money for development: When a district has a good plan in place, it shows investors that the district is serious about its development. This encourages both private investors and the government to invest their money in the district. 4. Strengthening local democracy and improve how things are run: The plan encourages different levels of Government to work together to solve the district’s problems. Without such a plan, decision- making might be compromised and affect local participation. 2 KABWE DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2023-2033 (CITIZENS VERSION) 1.

SOURCES OF IDP FINANCING PERSONAL LEVY PROPERTY FEES AND RATES CHARGES SOURCES OTHER OF IDP INCOMES FINANCING LICENCES PERMITS LEVIES 1. The main ways the IDP will get money include: Property rates: The council collects money from people who own property in the district, like land, houses, shops, office buildings etc. This money is called property rates. Personal levy: Everyone in the area who earns an income, pays a fee to the council. This money helps pay for the provision of services like garbage collection, street lighting etc. Fees and charges: People pay money to the council for services they use, like garbage collection or water. Councils are allowed to do this because of the Local Government Act No. 2 of 2019. Licenses: A license is granted as permission to trade in certain businesses such as liquor, and other ownership licenses such as firearm and occupancy licenses. Levies: Every business has to pay tax to the council for trading in the area for example a shop, a lodge, or a kantemba. Permits: A permit is given as permission by the council to do something. For example, bars being allowed to work after closing hours, herbalist permits and burial permits etc. Other incomes: The council looks for other ways to make money, like renting out space, charging for special services like marriage certificates, and certification of documents like birth certificates as well as Grade 9 and 12 certificates. 50 KABWE DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2023-2033 (CITIZENS VERSION) “ • You are required to pay for taxes and levies as a resident in order for the Council to effectively provide municipal services (for example, grading of roads, putting up street lights, waste collection, etc.) ,ZRXOG ,DPKHUH ,DPKHUHWRSD\ OLNHWRSD\IRUP\ WRJHWDEXULDOSHUPLW  P\EXVLQHVVOHY\� RFFXSDQF\OLFHQVH� IRUWKHEXULDORIP\DXQW� 2. National Support The Zambian Government provides money through the National Budget for different things like: • Constituency Development Funds (CDF): community projects, bursaries, empowerment, loans and grants etc. • Local Government Equalization Fund (for administration and operation of councils), • Funding to sectors like education, health, agriculture, social welfare (social cash transfer etc.) for operations and projects. 3. Other sources of funding There are also other ways local governments can get money. They can get money from investors, through donations from other governments, and loans from banks. 4. Public Private Partnership Sometimes, local governments work with private companies to get money for big projects. This is called a Public-Private Partnership. It helps because the companies have money and skills that can help the local government do more. 51 KABWE DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2023-2033 (CITIZENS VERSION) 11.

Here are some key roles that citizens can play: • Participation and engagement: Citizens are encouraged to participate in the IDP process through WDC meetings, consultations, and feedback sessions. These meetings allow citizens to voice their needs and main concerns for development in their areas. • Contribution to planning: Citizens can contribute local knowledge to the planning process. They can provide information about existing challenges, resources, and potential opportunities that should be considered in the IDP. 52 KABWE DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2023-2033 (CITIZENS VERSION) • Monitoring and accountability: Citizens can observe the implementation of the IDP to make sure that planned projects and initiatives are effectively carried out. They can hold local authorities answerable to their commitments and use of resources. • Advocacy and awareness: Citizens can propose the inclusion of projects that benefit their communities within the IDP. They can also bring attention to the importance of sustainable development and community participation. • Partnership and collaboration: Citizens can work with local and central government officials in their district, NGOs, and other stakeholders to support IDPs. Building partnerships can strengthen community participation and increase development efforts. • Patriotism: Citizens have a duty to pay all council charges and comply with all laid down laws. 53 KABWE DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2023-2033 (CITIZENS VERSION) 12.
