Part One: Introduction and Background The Kaputa District Integrated Development Plan (KDIDP) has been developed to serve as a foundation for the district's socioeconomic and spatial planning processes. As the primary planning tool with the primary responsibility of directing future development in the district, this preparation corresponds with the requirements of the Urban and Regional Planning Act No. 3 of 2015. The Plan is based on the goals and priorities for development set forth in the Eighth National Development Plan, new socioeconomic trends, the growing social and demand for improved services from the people of Kaputa District, and other relevant issues that offer a framework to guarantee development. Additionally, it seeks to support stakeholders' integrated service delivery to communities. This plan will be implemented from 2024 to 2034, for a period of ten years, with a review scheduled for 2026. Through a variety of public engagement venues, communities and other stakeholders provided input for the key projects that were chosen for implementation. The plan also takes into account community involvement through the Ward Development Committees (WDC), a legally mandated and constitutionally constituted body that directs development within ward boundaries.

1.1 Description of the IDP area Kaputa District shares borders with Chienge, Kawambwa, Nchelenge, Mporokoso, Nsama and The Democratic Republic of Congo. It is Located 420 kilometers northeast of Kasama and 400 kilometers north of Mansa. The District covers a total surface area of 7,951 square kilometers with one constituency and seventeen wards. Below is a map showing the ward boundaries of the district. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 1 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Figure 1: Wards in Kaputa District Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council, 2024

1.2 Historical Context Kaputa district, founded in 1969 as a Boma, is home to the majority of the indigenous population who speak Tabwa. Other ethnic groups include Mambwe, Lungu, and Swahili, and many foreign immigrants, particularly from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Tabwa people, originally from the northern banks of Lake Tanganyika, are known as the asimba or Lion Clan due to their hunting and fishing skills. The district has two chieftainships, Chief Mukupa Katandula and Chief Kaputa, covering 6,650 and 1,301 square kilometers respectively. The district's political structure includes seventeen ward councillors and one council chairperson. The District Commissioner oversee Public Service Departments, which handle matters pertaining to development.

1.2.1 Location Kaputa District is located in Zambia's northwest and is a part of the Northern Province. Location coordinates are -8.469 degrees latitude, 29.662 degrees longitude, and elevation of 3,117 feet. Its shared boundaries are with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on the north, Nchelenge on the west, Kawambwa on the south-west, Mporokoso on the south, Chiengi on the north- To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 2 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN west, and Nsama on the east. It is 420 km away from Kasama, the provincial capital. The District is divided into three main geographical features: valley basins, marshes (dambos), and plateau. The plateau, which is located between 700 and 900 metres above sea level, is a small area in the District's southern region and is mostly made up of very weathered leached acidic soil. Figure 2: Location Map of Kaputa District Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council, 2024

1.1.1 Spatial Extent of the IDP Area The Integrated Development Plan (IDP) will cover the entire district covering an approximately 7,951 square kilometers in size with a total number seventeen wards and one constituency. The implementation of the IDP will cover the all wards the district.

1.1.2 Topography The Kaputa district is 7,951 square kilometres in size and has two notable topographical features. Situated 700–900 metres above sea level, the southern part of the district is covered by a plateau. A valley that is roughly 600 metres above sea level encircles the remaining portion of the area. The landscape within 2 miles of Kaputa varies only slightly in elevation, with a maximum elevation difference of 350 meters and an average elevation above sea level of 900 meters. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 3 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Within ten miles, there are only minor elevation fluctuations (400 meters). Within 50 miles, elevation varies dramatically (1,000 meters). The Kaputa district is rich in soil fertility, abundant mineral, forestry, fishery, wildlife and heritage resources, as well as a unique biodiversity. It is the location of Kundabwika Falls, eleven hot springs, and salt pans. Figure 3: Terrain Map for Kaputa District Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council, 2024

1.1.3 Climate Conditions and Climatic Hazards Humidity The District, like the rest of the nation, has both rainy and dry seasons. The rainy season lasts 150-170 days, starting in late October or early November and ending in late March or early April. The seasons are becoming shorter each year, and there is little annual precipitation less than 700 mm on average. Drought has caused widespread famines and food shortages. Farmers believe that weeds and drought are the key factors limiting corn yield. Sunshine, Rainfall and Winds Kaputa experiences minimal day length, with the shortest days in June and longest in December. The city experiences significant seasonal changes in To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 4 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN cloud coverage, with the clearer months lasting 5 months and the cloudier ones lasting 7 months. July is the clearest month, with 80% of the sky being clear or partly cloudy. January is the cloudiest month. Kaputa has an average daily high temperature of 33°C, the hot season spans 2 months, from August to October. With an average high temperature of 33°C and low temperature of 25°C, October is the hottest month of the year. The average daily high temperature during the 5 month cool season, which runs from December to April, is below 28°C. At an average low temperature of 15°C and high temperature of 29°C, July is the coldest month of the year in Kaputa. Monthly rainfall in Kaputa varies greatly according to the seasons. The rainy season lasts 7 months, from September to May, with a typical average of 30 days rainfall of at least 0.5 inches. The wettest month is December, with an average rainfall of 6.8 inches. The dry season lasts 4 months, from May to September. July is the driest month in Kaputa, with an average rainfall of 0.0 inches. The average hourly wind speed in Kaputa varies significantly throughout the year due to seasonal factors. The windiest period of the year lasts 6 months, from April to October, with average wind speeds of more than 6.6 miles per hour. The windiest month of the year in Kaputa is August, with an average hourly wind speed of 8.6 mph. The quieter period of year lasts 5 months, from October to April. The calmest month of the year in Kaputa is February, with an average hourly wind speed of 4.8 mph. Climatic Hazards The district has both rainy and dry seasons, with a 150-170 day growth season during the rainy season, which starts in late October or early November and ends in late March or early April. The seasons are becoming shorter each year due to climate change, and there is little annual precipitation less than 700 mm on average. Drought is causing widespread famines and food shortages. Farmers believe that weeds and drought are the key factors limiting corn yield.

1.1.4 Hydrology and Drainage The Kaputa district is characterized by its abundant rivers and streams, including Kabwe, Munshishinya, Mwanda, Kamonga, Musongoshi, and Choma. These rivers provide irrigation water and year-round temperatures, making it ideal for agriculture expansion. The valley has three main water resources: open spaces for hunting and fishing, lakes and rivers, and perennial rivers like Kalungwishi, Lufubu, Luntomfwe, Mofwe, Choma, To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 5 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Munkonge, Mwawe, Itabu, and Mukubwe. The district also has several wetlands, represented by dambos and swamps like Kapasha and Mofwe. Additionally, the District has lake Lake Mweru-Wantipa.Below is map showing the hydrological map of the district. Figure 4: Hydrological Map for Kaputa Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council, 2024

1.1.5 Geology and Soils The Kaputa District's soils are predominantly sandy loams with occasional rubble. Common types include Oxisols and Ultisols, with valley regions containing Cambisol, Fluvisol, and Vertisol. Gleysol is found in low-lying areas and depressions, and in poorly drained soils with high groundwater levels. Rhodic Ferrasols are ideal for agricultural development due to their high nutritional value and excellent fertilizer reaction. However, most soils have a low pH below 4.5, making them susceptible to acidic conditions during cultivation and reckless use of chemical fertilizers.

1.1.6 Natural Vegetation Forests and Protected Areas The District is characterized by Miombo, Chipya, and Mateshi savannah woodland vegetation types, with Miombo woodlands dominated by To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 6 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Brachystegia-Julbernardia forest, Digitaria and Hyperrhenia species in "Miombo" grasslands, fire-resistant or tolerant chipmunk species in dry evergreen woods, and deep evergreen forest groups in Chipya. However, the high population density in the district has led to inadequate vegetation cover, with forest resources being primarily used for construction and fish preservation. Some species have suffered due to wood cutting. Kaputa boasts abundant wildlife resources, including fish, birds, and reptiles, small and large mammals. Kaputa Game Management Area connects Mweru- wantipa National Park, which occupies a sizable portion of the district, to the open space. Two gazetted woods, Kulangwi and Munchenja, are located in the district. Among the local forests' uncommon economic significance are the Schyzophton genus' Mupefu and Mukusu trees.

1.1.8 Environmentally Sensitive Areas in IDP Area Kaputa District, located in Zambia’s Northern Province, is home to several environmentally sensitive areas that are crucial for biodiversity and ecological balance. The most notable one are; 1. Laka Mweru Wantipa Lake Mweru Wantipa, located in Kaputa District, is an environmentally sensitive area with diverse plant and animal species. Its wetlands support birdlife and local fisheries, but overfishing and environmental changes threaten fish populations. The lake's drying out affects the ecosystem and communities' reliance on it. Agricultural runoff and pollutants degrade water quality, impacting aquatic life and human health. Changes in rainfall patterns and temperatures exacerbate these environmental challenges. Sustainable fishing practices, waste management, and eco-friendly agricultural methods are crucial for maintaining fish populations and supporting local livelihoods. Adapting to climate change impacts is also essential for the lake's sustainability. 2. Kaputa Game Management Areas (KGMAs) These areas are crucial for the preservation of wildlife and the sustainable use of natural resources; they are managed alongside Nsumbu National Park. They serve as a buffer between human activity and the main protected areas and operate as pathways for the migration of animals. These areas deal with a number of issues, such as deforestation, overfishing, poaching, and the effects of climate change. To maintain the viability of these vital ecosystems, efforts are being made to improve their management and preservation.

2.0 Demographic Analysis This section contains information on population size and composition. The primary focus will be on reviewing and assessing demographic trends, projections, and population growth in the IDP geographical area. The section looks at the effects of population change on land use and spatial development patterns, as well as the projected demographic outcomes.

2.1 Population and Population Growth The population of Kaputa district, which is the seventh largest in the province, was recorded at 103,056 in 2022, with 51,945 women (50.4%) and 51,111 men (49.6%) (Zamstats 2022). Nonetheless, the baseline year of 2024 is projected to have 109,970 people. The population of Mowa has the highest density of people while Lubendwa has the lowest, with an average annual growth rate of 3.3%. Figure 5: Population of Kaputa District for 2024 Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council,2024 The map highlights significant variations in population density across different wards. For instance, wards like Mwawe, Miyonga, Chitandala, To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 8 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Choma and Mowa have relatively higher populations, indicated by darker shades of red, while other areas have lighter shades, showing lower population densities. This map is an essential tool for understanding which areas are more densely populated. The Government and non-governmental organizations can use this map to allocate resources more efficiently. Areas with higher populations may require more resources, such as water supply, electricity, and sanitation services, compared to less populated areas. The map can help also in planning public services like transportation, waste management, and emergency services. Knowing where the population is concentrated allows for better service delivery and response times.

The district has a total population of 103,056, with a nearly equal gender distribution of 51,111 males and 51,945 females. The rural population is predominant, accounting for 65,008 individuals (32,464 males and 32,544 females), while the urban population stands at 38,048 (18,647 males and 19,401 females). Among the wards, Mowa is the most populous with 19,575 residents, predominantly rural (17,920) with a small urban segment (1,655). Chitandala and Choma are entirely urban, with populations of 18,072 and 7,561, respectively. Miyonga shows a significant urban population (10,030) compared to its rural counterpart (529). The data indicates a trend of higher rural populations across most wards, with notable urban concentrations in specific areas like Chitandala, Choma, and Miyonga. This demographic distribution can inform resource allocation, infrastructure development, and policy-making to address the distinct needs of rural and urban populations within Kaputa District. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 10 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Figure 6: Population Pyramid by Sex, Rural/Urban, District and Ward, Zambia Source: Zamstats, 2022 The Kaputa District's population pyramid the year 2022 shows a balanced gender ratio in Mowa, suggesting potential development opportunities. Lubendwa has the smallest population, suggesting limited resource allocation and slower development. Chitandala has a substantial population, highlighting its importance in regional planning. Gender distribution is relatively balanced across most wards, with slight variations in Kapulwa. These patterns are crucial for understanding dependency ratios, which can impact economic planning and social services. High-population wards may face increased demand for infrastructure, healthcare, and education, while less populated areas may require targeted interventions.

Mowa has the highest average population density (988.92 inhabitants per km2), followed by Chitandala (234.42 persons per km2). These wards are located in close proximity to Kaputa's urban region and its neighboring areas. The lowest average density, 3.58 persons per km2, is found in Lubendwa ward. Each ward is clearly labeled, allowing for easy identification of areas with higher or lower population concentrations. This visual representation is particularly useful for understanding demographic distribution, which can inform decisions related to resource allocation, urban planning, and electoral considerations.

From 2023 to 2028, the district’s population is projected to grow by nearly 80,000 people, reflecting a robust increase across all age groups. The most significant growth is seen in the youngest age groups (0-4 and 5-9 years), which suggests a high birth rate and a youthful population structure. This demographic shift will likely lead to increased demand for early childhood education, pediatric healthcare, and family services. Additionally, the steady rise in the 20-24 and 25-29 age groups indicates a growing young adult population, which could impact the local labor market and housing needs. The gender distribution remains relatively balanced, with a slight predominance of females, which is consistent across the years. This balanced gender ratio suggests that both male and female-focused services and opportunities will be equally important. Overall, the data points to a dynamic and expanding population that will require strategic planning and resource allocation to meet the needs of its diverse age groups.

This ratio can cause financial strain on households, as a significant portion of income is allocated to support children and the elderly. It also affects the district's economic growth, as fewer resources are available for investment in productive activities and infrastructure development. The consistent dependency ratio suggests that demographic shifts are not expected to alleviate this burden in the near future. Long-term strategies to address the underlying causes include enhancing access to quality education and healthcare, investing in vocational training and job creation, and promoting gender equality in the workforce. Social policies aimed at supporting families, such as child care services and elderly care programs, can help mitigate the impact of a high dependency ratio. In conclusion, a multifaceted approach to economic and social policy is needed to address the immediate needs of dependents and create opportunities for the working-age population, leading to improved economic stability and a higher quality of life for all residents.

This high child dependency ratio reflects a youthful population structure, with a high birth rate and a significant proportion of the population being under 15 years of age. This demographic trend could have implications for future educational and healthcare needs and potential economic growth if these young dependents transition into a productive workforce… The aged dependency ratio is relatively low at 3.77%, indicating that for every 100 working-age individuals, there are about 4 elderly dependents (aged 65 and above). This ratio is slightly higher for males (4.12%) than for females (3.45%), suggesting a marginally greater burden on the male working-age population in supporting the elderly. The low aged dependency ratio suggests that the economic burden of supporting the elderly is relatively minimal compared to the burden of supporting children.

The total projected population of individuals with disabilities is 1,236, with a notable gender disparity: 890 males compared to 346 females. This imbalance is consistent across both rural and urban areas, though the rural population (774 individuals) is substantially larger than the urban population (461 individuals). The demographic trends in Kaputa District's disability population have implications for service delivery and development initiatives. Healthcare services must expand in rural areas, focusing on conditions more prevalent among men, such as occupational injuries or specific chronic illnesses. Education facilities must be adapted to accommodate students with disabilities, including special education, assistive technologies, and physical accessibility. Infrastructure development in rural areas is crucial, including building accessible roads and transportation systems. Social services and support networks are essential, with community-based rehabilitation programs providing personalized support and awareness campaigns promoting inclusion. Economic opportunities should be created for disabled individuals, promoting inclusive business practices and microfinance options.

The projected HIV/AIDS prevalence data for Kaputa District in 2024, based on the 2018 Demographic and Health Survey, reveals significant insights into the distribution of cases across various wards and between rural and urban areas. The total number of cases in the district is 1,214, with a higher prevalence in rural areas (761 cases) compared to urban areas (453 cases). This disparity is particularly evident in wards like Mowa, which has 216 rural cases compared to 20 urban cases, and Miyonga, with 124 urban cases but only 6 rural cases. Gender distribution also shows a higher number of male cases (875) compared to female cases (339), with rural males (562) being the most affected group. Wards such as Chitandala and Choma have all their cases in urban areas, while others like Chipili, Chisoko, and Kalungwishi have cases exclusively in rural areas. This data underscores the need for targeted interventions that address the specific needs of both rural and urban populations, with a particular focus on the most affected groups to effectively combat the spread of HIV/AIDS in Kaputa District.

2.4 The Impact of the Continuation of Existing Population Trends on Land Use and Spatial Development Patterns Kaputa District's population trends will drive land use, economic development, and public services changes. Urban expansion and housing demand will require infrastructure development, while the growing young and working-age populations will demand more educational and healthcare facilities. Economic zones and job opportunities will be created to accommodate the expanding labor force, while environmental sustainability, social cohesion, and cultural opportunities will be crucial. Comprehensive planning and proactive measures are essential for sustainable and inclusive development. This necessitates taking the following actions; 1. Urban Expansion and Housing Demand: With the projected population growth, there will be an increased demand for housing, particularly in wards like Mowa and Chitandala, which are expected to have the largest populations. This will likely lead to urban expansion, with more land being converted from agricultural or undeveloped use to residential areas. The need for affordable housing will also become To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 23 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN more pressing, potentially leading to the development of new housing projects and infrastructure. 2. Infrastructure Development: The growing young and working-age populations will necessitate the expansion of infrastructure, including roads, public transportation, water supply, and sanitation systems. As more people move into urban areas, there will be a need for improved connectivity and services to support the larger population. 3. Educational and Healthcare Facilities: The significant growth in the youngest age groups (0-4 and 5-9 years) will require the development of more educational facilities, such as preschools and primary schools. Additionally, the increase in young adults will necessitate the expansion of secondary schools, vocational training centers, and higher education institutions. Healthcare facilities will also need to be expanded to cater to the growing population, with a focus on pediatric and maternal health services. 4. Economic Zones and Employment Opportunities: The rise in the 20- 24 and 25-29 age groups indicates a growing young adult population that will enter the workforce. This will require the creation of new economic zones and employment opportunities to absorb the increasing labor force. Industrial and commercial areas may need to be developed or expanded to provide jobs and stimulate economic growth. 5. Agricultural Land Use: As urban areas expand, there may be a reduction in available agricultural land. This could impact local food production and necessitate changes in agricultural practices, such as the adoption of more intensive farming methods or the development of urban agriculture initiatives to ensure food security. 6. Environmental Considerations: The expansion of urban areas and infrastructure development will need to be balanced with environmental conservation. Protecting natural resources, managing waste, and ensuring sustainable land use practices will be crucial to prevent environmental degradation and maintain the quality of life for residents. 7. Social Services and Community Facilities: The balanced gender distribution and the high dependency ratio will require the development of social services and community facilities that cater to both children and the elderly. This includes childcare centers, elderly care facilities, and community centers that provide support and recreational activities for all age groups. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 24 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 8. Spatial Planning and Zoning Regulations: Effective spatial planning and zoning regulations will be essential to manage the growth and development of Kaputa District. This includes designating areas for residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational use, as well as ensuring that development is sustainable and meets the needs of the population. 9. Development nodes: The nodes include economic hubs like Mowa and Chitandala, which have higher population densities and potential for business activities and services. Transportation and connectivity improvements in these nodes, particularly enhancing road networks, can facilitate better access to markets and services. Additionally, residential areas in urban wards like Chitandala and Choma require careful planning to manage urbanization and provide adequate housing and infrastructure. By focusing on these development nodes, Kaputa District can strategically allocate resources, address population needs effectively, and promote balanced regional development. 10. Cross Cutting Issues: the rise in numbers of different disabled persons and HIV/AIDS, will significantly affect land use and development patterns. Expanding healthcare infrastructure, especially in rural areas, is crucial to meet the demand for medical services. Inclusive educational facilities and accessible transportation systems are also essential. Inclusive business practices and microfinance options can create economic opportunities, while community-based rehabilitation programs provide personalized support. Sustainable development practices are needed to protect environmentally sensitive areas and balance urban and rural development to prevent overburdening urban centers and neglect rural areas. In summary, the continuation of existing population trends in Kaputa District will drive significant changes in land use and spatial development patterns. Strategic planning and investment in infrastructure, housing, education, healthcare, and economic development will be necessary to accommodate the growing population and ensure sustainable development.

In regard to teachers, there are more teachers at secondary school than at primary school. However, some of the ECE trained teachers are teaching in primary schools from grade 1 -4. The only Skills development center has only two instructors. Apparently in order to provide other skills, the school hire other instructors. There is also one teacher handling multiple disabilities at the Special Unit School which is housed at Kaputa Primary school.

The 10 schools are annexed at primary schools. These include 9 ECE centres and 1 secondary school. Further,75 out of 173 staff houses are in habitable condition whilst 34 are dilapidated and 64 are sub-standard (mud and thatched).44 out of 58 schools have water points,14 have none.150 computers are functional, though some of these are not in use because some schools despite having computers have no source of power. Only 7 out of 58 schools are connected to the main grid.

2.4.3 QUALITY OF SERVICES The quality of services depends on a number of factors which includes availability of infrastructure, teachers, teaching and learning materials and access to water. The prevailing situation is as follows: Table 11: Early Childhood Education - Current Ratio/Standard Ratio SERVICE TYPE CURRENT STANDARD RATIO RATIO Classroom: Pupil 1:53 1:15 (3 – 4 Years old) 1:20 (5-6 years old) ECE Chair: Pupil 1:2 1:1 Teacher; Pupil 1:15 (3 – 4 Years old) 1:53 1:20 (5-6 years old) Toilet: Pupil 1:53 1:10 Source: Standards and Evaluation Guidelines 2016 With reference to the table 11 there is overcrowding of pupils in classrooms by both 33 and 38 learners respectively. The toilets are not adequate and two pupils are sharing one chair. Table 12: Primary Education Service - Current Ratio/Standard Ratio SERVICE TYPE CURRENT STANDARD RATIO RATIO Classroom: Pupil 1:88 1:45 Desk: Pupil 1:6 1:2 To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 29 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Primary Teacher: Pupil 1:81 1:45 VIP: Pupil 1:79 1:20 – Girls 1:25 - Boys (Source: Standards and Evaluation Guidelines 2016) Based on table 12 infrastructure in schools is not adequate measured against the standards. The enrolment in classrooms is almost double the required number putting pressure on the available inadequate desks. One teacher is handling 81 pupils instead of 45 pupils. Toilets available are almost a quarter of what is required. Table 13: Secondary Education Service - Current Ratio/Standard Ratio SERVICE TYPE CURRENT STANDARD RATIO RATIO Classroom: 1:125 1:35 Secondary Pupil Desk: Pupil 1:5 1:2 Teacher:Pupil 1:23 1:35 VIP: Pupil 1:412 1:20 – Girls 1:25 - Boys (Source: Standards and Evaluation Guidelines 2016). From table 13, there is need for more classrooms, desks and toilets as the enrolment is very high. At secondary school, teachers are adequate with a total of 255 teachers against pupil enrolment of 6,035.

2.4.5 Issues Arising From the Public Participation Process

2.4.5.1 Availability of Service Early Childhood Education. The majority of the people from the community had a serious concern on the need to have ECE centres in all schools. They indicated that a number of children who should have been in pre-school have no access to such kind of education because it is not available. They lamented that children who do not pass through pre-school are disadvantaged once they enter grade 1 and mix with those who had pre-school experience. Primary Education The community said that though there were schools around, some villages were far from the existing primary schools, making it difficult for children at tend age to access primary school. Some communities were being serviced by community schools which ended up going upto grade seven with only one or two teachers. They also mentioned that even some existing primary schools To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 30 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN had only two or three teachers making it difficult to teach their children effectively. Secondary Education The district has a total of 8 secondary schools that run from grade 8 to 12 with a total pupil enrolment of 6,035. Concern of the community was that children in some areas were covering very long distances to access secondary education especially senior secondary. Some children were covering as far as 20 to 30 kilometres to have access to this kind of education. Such areas include children from Mukupa-Katandula area where the only secondary school nearby is Kasongole Day and Kasepa Day. To access Kasongole Day they need to cross the river which is always flooded during the rainy season. To access Kasepa Day Secondary School, they need to cover a distance of more than 15 km. Most of these children because they could not be commuting daily, resort to doing weekly boarding. They stay in rented unsafe huts. This has had an economic cost on their parents and sometimes led to pupils dropping out of school because of early marriages. Special Education The district has only one school which has a special education unit. Most members of the community were not even aware of the special unit except for those who have children at this school which is situated in the heart of the district. They raised the concern on the disabled children were just being kept in homes because such educational facilities were not readily available. Youth and Adult Literacy Education The district has no adult literacy Centre. The ones that were previous opened that is at Kaputa School for Continuing Education and Kaleulu Primary were no longer in existence. The whole district has only one skills centre. The community stressed the need for skills development to be taken seriously as not every learner can be good in academic subjects. An observation was made that one skills centre was not enough. Additionally, it was not providing all the skills required and ones provided were not throughout the year.

2.4.5.2 Quality of Service Including Key Indicators of Performance The general view of the community was that Government was trying its best to provide quality education but the level of quality was still not good enough. The community generally stated the following as reasons hampering provision of quality education services: inadequate classrooms, inadequate teachers, inadequate/lack of staff houses especially in remote schools, inadequate toilets, lack of water point/unsafe water for drinking, inconsistence provision To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 31 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN of sanitary towels to girls, disabled/impaired children being taught in the main stream, industrial art workshops for skills development are no longer in schools, no ICT equipment for computer lessons and no source of power in schools. These had adversely affected provision of quality education.

2.4.6 Impact of Changes Anticipated Over the Next Ten Years

2.4.6.1 Population Change – Future Demand for Services and Facilities increase There has been a tremendous increase in the population of learners since the introduction of the free education policy by the New Dawn Government. Learners that dropped out of school have come back. The population has grown from 20,461 in 2021 to 27,018 in 2024 giving a percentage increase of 32%. Pupil population is expected to be around 37,381 in the next ten years. With this picture, there is expected to be very high demand on education in the next ten years. Therefore, there shall be need to construct additional classrooms at existing schools, construction of new learning institutions which should include skills training centres and colleges, construction of staff houses, construction of water borne toilets, construction of practical special rooms, provision of desks, recruitment of more teachers, supply of electricity, supply of ITC equipment and Procurement of teaching and learning materials. More funding shall be required to the Ministry of Education in order to provide quality education. There shall be need also for the private sector to invest in education to help lessen the pressure on Government. The pupil population growth is expected to be more in the urban area than the peri urban. In order to control concentration of the pupil population in urban area, there shall be need to deliberately spread school development across the district.

2.4.6 Existing and Proposed Investment and Development Programmes The following are the proposed investment and development programmes; - Construction of additional classrooms in existing schools - Construction of standalone ECE centres - Construction of more Staff houses - Construction of one more boarding secondary school - Construction of one Special education boarding school - construction of water borne toilets - Provision of water schemes - Construction of specialised rooms - Construction of weekly boarding facilities in some Day secondary schools - Establish one Teacher Training College - Establish one Trades Training Institute To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 32 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN - Establish adult literacy centres - Recruitment of more teachers at all levels - Provision of more desks - Provision of ICT equipment in schools - Provision of teaching and learning materials eg text books and those for skill development. - Strengthen school feeding program - Establish support programs to a boy child. - Provision of transport for the DEBS office for monitoring and supervision of schools - Construction of more telecommunication towers - Construction of modern DEBS office block - Provision of sanitary towels to adolescent girls in schools

2.4.7 The Impact of the Continuation of Existing Trends on Land Use and Population Distribution Patterns Most of the schools do not have enough land for expansion especially those in the township area. The only available land has been encroached. 54 schools are on traditional land which do not have well defined boundaries while 4 are on state land. Out of 58 Government schools, only one has title deeds. Schools with the largest pupil population are around township. This means that these schools if not well managed will have no room for expansion in the next ten years.

2.4.8 Environment and Climate Change Analysis

2.4.8.1 The Impact of Existing Trends on the Environment and Climate Change With the steady increase in the district population, there has been pressure on the environment due to need for alternative source of energy and provision of services such as education and health. The people have resorted to cutting down trees for charcoal and also to clear land for school infrastructure development. This has eventually impacted negatively on the environment and climate. Additionally, cutting down of trees for making of desks for schools has contributed to climate change because in most cases afforestation is not done. Not only have that schools also depended on firewood as source of energy for the school feeding program consequently affecting the environment. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 33 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

2.4.8.2 The Impact of Environmental and Climate Change Issues on the Sector The education sector has suffered heavily due to climate change. Year in and year out, school infrastructure has been damaged through heavy rains and strong winds. Roads leading to schools have been damaged and bridges in some cases washed away. Repair of damaged infrastructure has led to an additional cost to the sector. In some places like Kakolo and Kapasha area, floods have stopped pupils from attending classes thereby contributing to poor performance. Teachers and pupils have risked their lives by crossing these floods. Sometimes droughts have been experienced that have had a negative effect on crop production under production unit program in schools thereby schools losing revenue.

2.4.8.3 Issues Arising Relating to Gender Groups and Vulnerable Groups The sector has had a rare opportunity to have two co-operating partners that are supporting the girl child. These include Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED) with 312 girls supported, and also World Bank under the Keeping Girls in School (KGS) Program supporting a total of 1208 girls. There has been a concern from the boy children in schools that Government has neglected them because they are also vulnerable in one way or another yet not supported. They have lamented that not boy has had access to CDF bursary. Structures being built in schools were not user friendly to some pupils or people who were physically challenged.

2.4.8.4 Summary Pupil population is increasing speedily, therefore, there is need to invest in school infrastructure and human resource (teacher recruitment/development) in order to keep up with the demand that comes with population increase.

2.4.8.5 Consideration of the Underlying factors contributing to the issues identified Key factors contributing to the identified issues include; insufficient funding, inconsistence in policy implementation, no support for local resource mobilization by the communities, poor road network, having very few co-operating partners and high levels of poverty.

2.4.2 FORESTRY SECTOR KEY GOVERNMENT PRIORITIES BEING AND TO BE IMPLEMENTED AT A LOCAL LEVEL (REVIEW OF POLICIES AND PLANS). The implementation of programmes for the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment in Kaputa district is anchored on the Eighth National Development Plan (8NDP) which aims at promoting investment for increased tree planting and training people in alternative sources of livelihoods such as construction of bee hives and honey processing programmes. These programmes are embedded in the following strategies under the goal for enhancing environmental sustainability; Strategy 1: Strengthen Climate Change Adaptation This strategy is aimed at implementing adaptation measures that will contribute to building the resilience of communities and the economy to the impact of climate change. This will include engaging communities in activities such as facilitating private sector involvement in forestry development and promoting a participatory approach to forest development by developing close partnership amongst all stakeholders. The strategy will also focus on forestry extension and publicity in the mainstreaming of climate change issues. Kaputa District will implement this strategy during the implementation of this plan Strategy 2: Strengthen Climate Change Mitigation This strategy is aimed at enhancing climate change mitigation and promoting low carbon development. This will foster the implementation of various interventions in the forestry sector and this will include sustainable consumption and production of forestry products and sustainable forest management through promotion of green and renewable energy. Kaputa district will endeavour to implement these programs at local level. Strategy 3: Enhance Natural Resources Management This strategy is aimed at the implementation of programs aimed at reversing the growing threats of natural resources and the biodiversity present in the forests. Kaputa district will implement programs aimed at enhancing natural resources management at local level through activities such as training people in alternative sources of livelihoods like bee keeping and tree planting that is nursery establishment at a commercial level and issuance of penalties to illegal timber processors and this will also be followed up by undertaking sensitization programs and extension works in the enhancement of the natural resource management.

2.4.2.1 Availability of Service Forestry Production Development There are three local forest reserves in the district namely Kanonge Local Forest Reserve No. 237, which covers approximately 29,100 hectares, Muchenja Reserve Proposal No. 119, which covers approximately 4,000 hectares and Kalanga open forest which covers approximately 120,908.79 hectares. The overall forest reservation covers just around 3% of the district's total land cover of the district. The dominate forest landscape is Miombo, Chipya, and Itigi. The following are the predominant tree species in the aforementioned local forests Afzelia quanzensis. Albizia adianthifolia and Brachystegia boehmii. Figure 13: Map showing forest reserves in Kaputa District (Source: Forestry Department, Kaputa District, 2024) The district grows the following tree species under the tree planting programme.

IDALE 2000 (Source: Forestry Departmeent, Kaputa District, 2024) The district also ventures in bee keeping programmes which are spearheaded by Kalanga beekeeping and Matobwe beekeeping groups. Further, the department issues permit to timber processing companies.

2.4.2.2 QUALITY OF SERVICES Forestry Production Development The local forests in the district are under threat of encroachments by the settlements that are spreading towards the forest and deforestation. The major contributing factors to deforestation are illegal timber production through pit sawing, illegal charcoal production due to the high demand of fuel wood and illegal clearing of large forest areas for settlements and cultivation.

2.4.2.3 ISSUES ARISING FROM THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROCESS Availability of forestry services The public consultation process through community engagement meetings with Ward Development Committees and focus groups involving women, men and youth revealed that most forestry extension services are lacking in their communities, thus making the locals unaware of forest conservation methods and climate change issues. The respondents expressed the need for proper forest management and issuance of permits to deal in timber processing.

2.4.2.4 QUALITY OF SERVICE INCLUDING KEY INDICATORS OF PERFORMANCE Quality of forestry service The consultations revealed that the forestry services are poor in the district as mostly permits are not issued to the locals and the locals are not fully To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 37 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN aware of these services as the department of forestry is under staffed to conduct extension services and community awareness programs.

2.4.2.5 IMPACT OF CHANGES ANTICIPATED OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS Population Change – Future Demand for Services and Facilities The anticipated increase in population will directly result in the increased demand for housing, business and industries and this is likely to negatively affect the conservation or protected areas as more trees will be cut down to pave way for infrastructure development. Increase in population will also increase the pressure on natural resources such as forests and wildlife as the demand for wood fuel and food will increase and this is likely to result in the destruction of conserved forests as the demand for land will increase in the district.

2.4.2.6 Existing and Proposed Investment and Development Programmes The following are the existing and proposed investment and development programs in the Forestry sector: Table 15: Existing and proposed investment and development programs S/N Existing Development Proposed Investment and Development Programmes Programs. 1 Sustainable forestry Promoting sustainable practices in logging management and timber harvesting to ensure long-term forest health and biodiversity 2 Reforestation and Investment in tree planting initiatives to afforestation restore degraded lands and enhance carbon sequestration efforts, potentially supported by both government and Non- Government Organizations 3 Community forestry Encouraging local community involvement programs in forest management to promote livelihoods and sustainable use of forest resources. 4 Capacity building and Providing training for local communities on training sustainable forestry practices, forest To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 38 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN conservation, and the importance of biodiversity 5 Agroforestry projects Promoting agriculture and forestry sectors to improve food security while enhancing forest cover, which can also provide additional income streams for farmers. (Source: Forestry Department, Kaputa District, 2024)

2.4.2.7 ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE ANALYSIS The Impact of Existing Trends on the Environment and Climate Change The impact of existing trends on the environment and climate change in the Kaputa can be understood through various lenses, considering both local and global influences.  Deforestation and land degradation: deforestation due to agriculture expansion, logging, and charcoal production has led to significant habitat loss, reduced biodiversity, soil erosion and forest loss has contributed to increased carbon emissions, exacerbating climate change at local level  Biodiversity loss: habitat destruction and climate change has threatened the local flora and fauna, leading to a decline in biodiversity and species that cannot adapt to climate change have faced extinction and disruption in the ecosystem.  Increased extreme temperatures: changes in climate patterns have led to more frequent and has intensified extreme weather events which have devastated the local communities and the local economy. The Impact of Environmental and Climate Change Issues on the Sector The current Global Climate change has resulted in high temperatures in most parts of the world and Kaputa District is not spared. In the district, the high temperatures having a negative impact on state of the forests in that the hot temperatures have led to increased incidences and has increased the intensity of devastating forest fires in local forest reserves. This is contributing to the destruction of our forests in the district. Issues Arising Relating to Gender Groups and Vulnerable Group The vulnerable groups expressed the need for the provision of alternative sources of livelihood as a strategy to curb this continued encroachment on the local forests. Further, they highlighted that empowerment programmes towards alternative sources of income will help the communities to desist from relying entirely on the forest products and may help the communities to To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 39 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN source for alternative energy sources as opposed to entirely relying on charcoal. Further, the community lamented on the long distances they have to cover to access the forestry services like issuance of forestry permits and indicated that this results in the failure to comply with the sustainable use of forests. Summary of Issues for the Sector  Low forestry extension services in the district  Low staffing in the forestry department  Logistical challenges to adequately undertake duties aimed at conserving the local forests To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 40 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

2.4.3 HEALTH SECTOR Kaputa District has 1 first level referral hospital, 2 mini-hospitals, 4 health centers and 13 health posts in operation including 107 outreach sites. The sector provides the following services in the IDP area; In patient curative care, Outpatient curative care, Primary eye care, male circumcision, HIV Counselling and Testing, EMTCT, ART, children’s clinic both static and outreach, antenatal and family planning services including public health and other minor surgical procedures. Facility TB diagnostic site is available at the hospital, Kasongole Rural Health Center (RHC) and Kalaba RHC in order to scale up TB detection rate. The location of health facilities is as shown in the district map below. Figure 14: Distribution of health facilities in Kaputa District (Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council, 2024) Key Government Priorities Being and to be Implemented at a Local Level The health sector functions are aligned with the priorities stipulated in the Eighth National Development Plan (8NDP) strategic development area 2, To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 41 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN outcome 2, National Health Strategic Plan (NHSP 2022-2026), Standard Development Goal 3, and Vision 2030 goals.

The 17 health facilities (13 health posts, 4 health centres) provide primary health services in antiretroviral therapy, counselling, TB case finding, child immunization, antenatal care, maternity services, and community and outreach services using 107 outreach posts. However, only the 4 centres are TB diagnosis, and voluntary male circumcision sites.

2.4.3.2 Quality of Service Including Key Indicators of Performance The district health facilities are managed by skilled staff. However, the health sector still has a challenge of inadequate staffing (especially of skilled personnel), inadequate equipment at the hospital, in rural health centres and health posts. The entire district is served by 3 medical doctors (doctor- population ratio is 1: 54,771 against the 2026 target of 1:17,188 ratio) and nurse-population ratio of at least 1: 1,542.8 against the desired 1:1,001.2 ratio, while some health posts (Muchenja, Kasungwe, Chimpatika, Kasepa, Kapala) are staffed with only 2 health workers who serve communities that access services from the facilities; thus, effective quality delivery of primary health services is affected.

Table 29: Availability of housing units Available Required 22 59

2.4.3.3 Issues Arising from the Public Participation Process From the Planning Survey of issues through public participation, the following were the findings: Availability of Service All the communities in the IDP area mostly acknowledged to have been receiving basic primary health services (basic diagnosis, treatment, adolescent health, maternal and child health services). The district receives primary hospital services from Kaputa district hospital, and primary health care from 2 mini-hospitals, 4 rural health centres, and 13 health posts. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 50 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

2.4.3.4 Quality of Service Including Key Indicators of Performance Kabwe, and Kalyondo, Katai, Kapasha, Kakomo, Chitaba, Katondo, Mataka, Chipanda, Shikatutu, and Kaoma community areas are located very far from the nearest health facilities, based on the national health standard distance. The common bottlenecks to quality service delivery in facilities included shortage of essential medical drugs and commodities, lack of maternity annexes, lack of mother’s shelter, lack of running water and adequate lighting in most facilities; insufficient mortuary capacity at the district hospital, while Holland and Kalaba mini-hospitals lack mortuary services; lack of medical doctors in the mini-hospitals, and inadequate youth friendly spaces (YFS) in the IDP area. Challenges The communities of Kabwe, Kalyondo, Katai, Kapasha, Kakomo; Chitaba, Mataka, Katondo, Chipanda, Shikatutu, and Kaoma are situated far from the nearest facilities, with bad road network, and have no Safe Motherhood Groups (SMAGs) nor community-based health workers to link the facility to the community. While, Kalyondo village people cross the Kabwe stream to access Chipili Health facility. Facilities in the Kaputa IDP area are faced with shortage of essential drugs, and medical commodities, insufficient skilled staff, lack of maternity annexes, lack of mother’s shelter, inadequate staff houses, and insufficient lighting. Priority Programs/projects The proposed priority projects/programs included the construction of a facility in Kabwe, Lubendwa, Soko and recruitment/training of SMAGs from Kabwe, construction of more 5 YFSs, upgrade Chipili HP, Kambole Chansa, Kapepula, Muchenja, Chocha, and Kasepa health posts to health centres, deploy more health care workers to health facilities, and invest in the procurement of adequate solar lighting equipment; construction of mothers shelter and mortuary, as well as the deployment of 2 medical doctors to Holland Lukwesa and Kalaba mini-hospitals. Effect of climate change on health The floods during rainy season prevents the people of Kabwe from easily accessing and continuously utilizing health services, and leads to rising cases of malaria; global warming causes cough, chest problems, diarrheal infections. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 51 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

2.4.3.5 Issues arising relating to Gender groups and vulnerable Groups Pregnant women do not receive comprehensive services due to insufficient maternity annexes in the IDP area, and inadequate facility referral transport. Additionally, the under 5 children who are malnourished lack therapeutic services especially in Katai, Kapasha; Kabwe and Kalyondo communities due to long distance to the facilities and geographical barriers of water bodies, and bad road network. Malnourished under 5 children and young adolescents, pregnant women lack access to primary management/treatment due to geographical barriers and inadequate supply of logistics/essential commodities, and insufficient skilled health workers. Additionally, women are mostly reported to be victims of Gender Based Violence (GBV), especially in hard-to-reach areas, while men who are victims often do not seek anti-GBV services due to stigma. People with disabilities do not get comprehensive equitable access to primary health services; the people with loss of hearing do not get quality services as most health care workers are not trained in sign language nor are adverts (health promotion) components translated to sign language; health facility infrastructure is not user friendly for the physically disabled persons. Geographical barriers (long distance and floods) prevent disabled people or vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, children, old people, and immune-deficiency individuals from accessing essential services. Additionally, there are records of high HIV, and gender based violent cases in women than men, because men have relatively low health service utilization behavior.

2.4.3.6 Impact of Changes Anticipated Over the Next Ten Years Population Change – Future Demand for Services and Facilities The population is growing very fast, while essential drugs/medical commodities, and health facilities with its skilled staff, are becoming inadequate. In the next ten years, the population is expected to have grown and demand for more health services, medical doctors and other health workers, and health facilities (hospitals, mini-hospitals, rural centres, and health posts) is expected to increase. Over the next ten years, the expected population growth in Kaputa will lead to an increase in demand for more primary health services and health facilities in order to access quality services, and attain universal health coverage. Therefore, it will be required To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 52 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN that supply of health services, and health infrastructure increases. Demand is anticipated to increase in various primary health services including indoor residual spraying, insecticide treated nets routine and mass distribution, voluntary male circumcision, antiretroviral therapy, neonatal intensive care, elimination of mother to child, maternal and perinatal referral services, eye and ear services, cervical cancer and chest services, mortuary services, mental health services, essential drugs and medical supply storage services, and rehabilitation services; there will be demand for more health care workers, and medical doctors, health centers and health posts, as well as staff housing units, especially in the rural health facilities. Further, to ensure utilization of health services by the community, the situation will demand for more health promotion and community sensitization services.

2.4.3.7 Existing and Proposed Investment and Development Programmes The community in Kaputa district currently has one district hospital providing mortuary services, first level referral services, anti-GBV services and basic hospital reproductive, maternal, and neonatal health services. Basic adolescent health, treatment of HIV, and basic management of malnutrition programs exist in health centres/posts. However, the services are inadequate. Therefore, the communities in the IDP area proposed the construction of youth friendly spaces, maternity annexes, staff houses for health personnel, and health facilities; establishment of mobile or camps of One Stop Centres (OSCs) and more Safe Motherhood Action Groups (SMAGs) especially in far to reach community areas/villages, recruitment of more health personnel, community health workers and medical doctors; rural electrification or procurement and installation of adequate solar energy equipment in facilities; procurement of motorbikes.

2.4.3.8 Existing and Proposed Investment and Development Programmes In the aim to bring quality primary health services as close to the family as possible, and to attain universal health coverage, the health sector proposed investments of development include the construction of 5 health facilities, and at least 9 more housing units per facility each year; establishment of college of sciences for staff development, procurement of at least 20 motorbikes for facilities, 3 standard ambulances, and 2 utility vehicles for management and support services; establishment of 1 rehabilitation centre, 1 medical storage hub, 1 mental health unit, food and drugs laboratory, ear clinic, and To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 53 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN establishment of the standard mortuary unit with adequate equipment; also importantly, the electrification of 16 facilities. Further, more support is needed in reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child and adolescent health, and nutrition (RMNCAH-N) programs for the improvement of quality primary health service delivery. The proposed development programs include as enshrined in 8th national development plan 2022-2026 and key activities proposed in national health strategic plan 1. Disease prevention and control: reduced in diagnosis of common non- communicable diseases. 2. Health education and promotion: scaling up drug prevention awareness, and education in RMNCAH-N services. 3. Maternal Health Care: increasing early access to antenatal care, institutional (facility) deliveries, and improving access to early postnatal services. 4. Child Survival development: increasing child immunization, and number of children attaining developmental milestone at an appropriate age. 5. Family planning: increasing the number of women accessing family planning services; new acceptors. 6. Epidemic preparedness and control: establishment and operation of epidemic preparedness and response system. 7. Mental Health and Substance abuse management: increased facility IDSR weekly reporting. 8. Health Security and Surveillance: accessing functional evidence-based surveillance. 9. Infrastructure development: enhancing infrastructure, equipment, and transport.

2.4.3.9 The Impact of the Continuation of Existing Trends on Land Use and Population Distribution Patterns The population of Kaputa district is sparsely distributed, with majority living in remote areas. Thus, some villages/wards that are sparsely distributed are prevented from accessing facilities by geographical barriers (long distance, To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 54 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN bad terrain, gravel roads and water bodies); the growing villages/population will be distributed further from the existing facilities (due to the existing behavioral trend of poor health seeking behavior), and utilize land and vegetation for farming and traditional medicine. If the inadequacy of skilled staffing, equipment, and health facility infrastructure continues against the growing population and villages, effective provision of quality primary health services, and attainment of universal health coverage will be affected greatly; cases of home/community maternal deliveries will grow against the institutional deliveries, maternal and perinatal mortality will increase, disease incidences would rise, malaria will be difficult to control, and disease outbreaks will be prone to occur and difficult to prevent. Additionally, there will be inequality in the provision of services as villages/wards outside the 5km radius would not effectively utilize health services due to inability to easily access facilities or essential health services caused by geographical barriers. If services are accessed by the community, they will mostly not be provided according to the World Health Organizational nor national recommended guidelines/standards due to lack of electricity and equipment in some facilities. However, if there is great investment or strategic implementation of impact social behavioral change interventions by the health sector (assuming the community responds positively), the population would be densely distributed around the health facilities, and along the roads for easy transportation to facilities. Thus, there would be increased demand for services, against the constrained number of health service providers.

2.4.3.10 Environment and Climate Change Analysis The Impact of Existing Trends on the Environment and Climate Change Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trap heat and renders the planet warmer. The health sector contributes to carbon emissions in hospital care, physician and clinical services, and prescription of drugs; contributing to Global Warming/high temperature. The sector GHG emissions are categorized as:  Scope 1: emissions from sources directly controlled by health sector; emission from the health facilities through boiling, medical gases, or burning of incinerators or placenta pit waste; leading to Global Warming/severe temperature.  Scope 2: indirect emissions from the generation of energy (electricity) by health facilities; causing Global warming/high temperature. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 55 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN  Scope 3: indirect emissions from the production and transportation of goods and services procured by health sector (pharmaceuticals and other essential medical drugs and commodities); source of supply-chain emissions include water and waste, energy, transport, testing and research, construction, plastics, rubber, textiles, paper, chemicals and food.

2.4.3.11 The Impact of Environmental and Climate Change Issues on the Sector Climate change disrupts the ability of the sector to provide safe, quality and effective services, and affects vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, under-5 children, old people, and persons with low immune system. Excessive climate change will lead to extreme droughts which affects crops and contribute to malnutrition, severe diarrheal cases such as cholera, and geographical barrier hindering effective maternal and perinatal referral systems. Climate change will further lead to increased transmission of malaria, and spread of vectors after flood. Excessive heat compromises the ability of immune system to remember and respond to specific pathogens/viruses or germs. Summary The health sector endeavors to bring quality primary health services as close to the family as possible, and attain universal health coverage. However, it is faced with factors that affect its delivery and execution of health priorities; inadequate staffing, health infrastructure, medical equipment, and inadequate of some essential hospital units, and electrification in 16/19 facilities. In the next ten years, the population growth is expected to induce an increase in demand for services. Thus, investment in the construction of facility infrastructure, procurement of motorbikes and ambulances/vehicles, deployment of more skilled staff, and establishment of medical stores hub (among other hospital units) should be a priority.

Resettlement Scheme Kaputa District has one (1) agricultural resettlement scheme namely; Ikanga resettlement scheme located in Kaputa central camp, Chief Kaputa’s chiefdom. It is located 4 km North-east of Kaputa Township and is approximately 80 hectares.

2.4.4.3 QUALITY OF SERVICES Agricultural Production and productivity Crop production and productivity in the district is very low in all the major crops grown within the district. This is as a result of low adoption rates of Good Agricultural Practices, GAP, by the farmers. The area under cultivation averages 19, 000Ha which is 4 percent of the total arable land, contributing to low production as the land being cultivated is small.

The two departments have continued collaborating with the department of agriculture in effectively conducting nutritional programmes and Agricultural Input supply to the farming community. The department of agriculture had only one (1) cooperating partner SUN-TA which has since phased out. Cooperating partners assists the department of agriculture in; I. Capacity building in both staff and farmers II. Providing material and Financial resources III. Providing support for infrastructure developing and transport Therefore, the department of agriculture faces challenges in accessing these services without cooperating partners. The department has insufficient agricultural storage space. Blocks and Camps The current number of blocks and camps are few resulting in some camps and blocks being too large. This has made providing extension services to the community difficult because this has resulted in the officer to farmer ratio averaging 1 to 1, 300 when the standard is 1 to 400. The district is supposed to have, 2 block officers and 10 camp extension officers. However, the district has no block officer and two camps namely Kafwimbi and Mukupa Katandula are not manned. Generally, all camps do not meet the standard ratio of officer to farmer which is 1 to 400. They are way above except for Kafwimbi Camp which slightly below.

Transport For the department to effectively deliver its mandate there is need to have vehicle(s) and Motorbikes. The following table shows the available transport for the department in the district; Transport especially for field officers is critical because these are the front- line staff who need to be mobile to ensure delivery of agricultural extension services to all parts of the district. At present the delivery of service is below average.

It has no site maps to indicate the boundaries and due to that it has been encroached by neighbouring villages. Further, the scheme hasn’t been sub-divided into individual farms and its legal status is not established Issues Arising from the Public Participation Process Availability of Service Good extension services offered by the camp extension officers in 10 camps of which 9 camps are manned with extension advisory services offered by the crop husbandry officer,the technical support branch, agribusiness related services offered by the District marketing and development officer and the senior agriculture officer at district level and Provision of farmer input support programme. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 67 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Quality of Service Including Key Indicators of Performance The initial ratio of officer to farmer is 1 officer to 400 farmers but the average ratio currently been experienced in the district is 1 officer to 1402 farmers which compromises the quality of service offered to the farmers as not all the camps are manned and there is need to demarcate some camps that are very big like Kalaba camp,Central camp,Kasongole camp, Nkosha camp,Kasepa camp and Mukupa katandula camp.Late delivery of inputs due to long distances covered by the farmers to the main depots translating for a need to have depots for input collection by farmers in each respective camp. Long distances covered to sell agriculture produce to FRA satellites and need for satellites to be within range of farming areas like kalyondo in Chipili camp and Mumanga in central camp that are considered to have high population of farmers cultivating in the same area.Low area been cultivated due to lack of mechanization. Impact of Changes anticipated over the next Ten Years Population Change – Future Demand for Services and Facilities Population increase is expected in the next ten years and this will in turn lead to increased demand for agriculture extension services meaning more officers will need to be recruited, demarcate camps into more camps and build more camp houses for the officers. Demand for more agricultural inputs for crop production meaning the allocation of FISP packs will need to be increased.more land to be allocated to new and old farmers to increase the land cultivated as they will seek to use mechanized type of farming and as new land will be cultivated more trees will be cut and this will lead to deforestation and in the process increasing climate change effect which will result in more prolonged dry spells and flash floods. Irrigation schemes to be established to sustain water shortage due to climate change effects that might be experienced.demand for more FRA satellites as farming communities will increase and need to sell their produce without covering long distances.

Increased cutting of trees will lead to deforestation due to clearance of land for agriculture use. Environment and Climate Change Analysis The Impact of Existing Trends on the Environment and Climate Change  Prolonged dry spells affecting agricultural crops resulting to deforestation  Flash floods affecting agricultural crops resulting to deforestation  Soil degradation as a result of floods and poor crop standing due to fertilizer leaching  Outbreak of new diseases and pests To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 69 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN The Impact of Environmental and Climate Change Issues on the Sector Reduced yield of crops due to prolonged dry spells, flush floods, diseases and pests leading to reduced food security at home level due to the effects of climate change. Issues Arising Relating to Gender Groups and Vulnerable Groups Summary (for each sector/thematic area) Agriculture is one of the main economic activities undertaken in the district by the farmers although it is currently being done at a small scale due to lack of mechanization. There is potential that production will increase over the years as more farmers are realizing the economic independence that farming can bring and are starting to take farming as a business by practicing new methods of farming (climate smart agriculture). The proposed investment potentials that can exit in the district include construction of irrigation schemes and going mechanized type of farming to increase land cultivation and thus increasing production and this will greatly improve the productivity in the district making it have potential to be the food basket of the province. The sector has challenges that include Inadequate bulking centers for crops produced, Lack of mechanized farming equipment, limited number of officers in management positions and extension officers to offer extension services to the farmers, Low yield due to poor management practices, lack of value addition processing plants, inadequate transport for the extension officers and Inadequate accommodation for the extension officers. Consideration of the Underlying Factors contributing to the Issues Identified Poor road network affects farmers in terms of limited access to markets for their products and inadequate extension officers also compromise the delivery of services to farmers. Climate change which has manifested in extended dry spells and flush floods patterns has contributed to poor yields, disease outbreaks and poor quality of produce.

2.4.5.2 Description of the Existing State Of Development The district boasts of the Lake Mweru Wantipa fishery shared with Nsama district and has a total surface area of about 1500 km2. There are thirty-two (32) fishing villages in Kaputa district with an estimated population of 46, 421 To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 72 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN (Frame survey, 2023). These fishing villages mainly depend on fishing on Lake Mweru Wantipa for their livelihood. Below is the map showing the 32 villages. The district has potential for fish farming as an alternative to fishing though lack of fingerlings has been a hindering factor to the progression of fish farming in the district.

2.4.5.4 Issues Arising from the public participation Process Availability of Services FISHERIES To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 78 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN The following are the concerns that arose from the community on the available services. - Inadequate extension services to assist fish farmers in most of the wards. - Low production and productivity of fish due to use of wrong fishing gears such as mosquito nets and fishing baskets due to lack of water patrolling vessels (Engine Boat) causing the depleting of fish in the lake. - Lack of quality fingerings and fish feed discouraging a lot of farmers to venture in fish farming. LIVESTOCK AND VETERINARY The following are the concerns that arose from the community on the availability of services. - Inadequate extension services (Low staffing of extension officers) to assist farmers in all the wards. - High incidences of Newcastle disease in village chickens and Helminthiasis (worms) in goats causing low production and productivity in poultry and goats in all the wards. - Non availability of vaccines (Newcastle) and other veterinary drugs. - Areas with cattle farmers want animal spraying facilities. - Goats and pigs were poorly managed as a result causing crop damages (Food insecurity).

2.4.5.5 Quality of services including key performances FISHERIES Despite the department being committed in providing quality services to fishers and fish farmers the community were concerned with a number of issues; such as inadequate extension services, law enforcement on wrong fishing gears and lack of quality fish seed and feed for fish. LIVESTOCK AND VETERINARY SERVICES Despite the sector commitment to providing quality services to farmers, the community raised a number of concerns that needed to be improved such as inadequate extension staffs, non-availability of vaccines (Newcastle) and other veterinary drugs and mass vaccination of birds against Newcastle disease and rabies in dogs. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 79 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

2.4.5.6 Impact of changes Anticipated over the Next Ten Years FISHERIES There is a likelihood of an increased number on fish farmers and fishers and increased fish production and productivity in the next ten years if law enforcement, extension services, increased number of staffs, research activities will receive the needed attention from government. The district is a fishery district were most people depend on fish as a source of income and livelihood. As the population continues to increase in the district, the demand for fish is likely to increase as well and this will most likely increase fishing pressure on the lake and hence the need to increase fish production from aquaculture. The attention to the mentioned services will lead to an increased number of people benefiting from the fisheries subsector. LIVESTOCK AND VETERINARY SERVICES

2.4.5.7 Population change- Future demand for services and facilities In the next ten years the population of people demanding livestock services in Kaputa district is likely to drastically increase. This will lead to increased demand for extension services, livestock infrastructure and availability of veterinary drugs such as Newcastle vaccines. There is therefore need for the government to pay a particular attention to this anticipated increase in demand for the veterinary services. Most people in the district depend on livestock rearing as a source of income at household level. The population of livestock farmers will increase and demand for more extension officers and adequate transport will be needed in order to provide the needed services for an increased and diverse source of income and animal protein in the district.

2.4.5.8 Existing and Proposed investment and development programs FISHERIES The district has about 55 fish farmers and 65 fish ponds of which not all are in operation. There is therefore need to increase the number of fish ponds as well as making all ponds operational. Other proposed investments include; 1. Establishment of secure landing site (Harbors) on Lake Mweru wantipa. 2. Equipping of fisheries laboratory with necessary equipment and materials 3. Construction of fish freezing facilities at the central business. 4. Establishment of fish hatcheries/Community based fingerling production centers. 5. Procurement of two engine boats for easy operation and monitoring of fisheries activities on the lake. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 80 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 6. Need to support farmers with fish farming programs in all the wards LIVESTOCK AND VETERINARY SERVICES The district has three (03) veterinary assistants and one (01) livestock assistant against seventeen Veterinary camps (17), the district has no camp houses for extension officers, four (4) motorbikes of which only two (02) are running and one (01) dip-tank which is not functional. The following are the proposed investment and development programs; - There is need to build camp extension houses in all the 17 wards. - There is need to employ 14 extension officers to man all the wards. - There is need to procure 15 motor bikes to carter for all the extension officers. - There is need for 4 animal dipping facilities (Spray races) in areas with cattle (Kapaka, Kawama, Mowa Center for the blind and Mumanga). - There is need to construct 1 slaughtering facility for easy meat inspection in the district. - There is need for a livestock services center for training farmers to be located in Chocha - There is need for a livestock breeding center for cattle and goats for improved livestock breeds in the district. - Farmers in all the 17 wards proposed to be supported with small livestock (Goats, Chickens and Ducks) rearing programs as source of livelihood.

2.4.5.9 Environment and Climate Change Analysis The Impact of Existing Trends on the Environment and Climate Change The anticipated increase in animal population may lead to increase in unsustainable disposal of cattle manure which may negatively impact the environment with methane gas contributing to global warming and climate change. Overgrazing as a result of increased animal population and unsustainable grazing practices may lead to accelerated soil erosion and siltation in rivers. The unsustainable practices of clearing land for fish farming and cutting of trees for construction of livestock housing units may leave the land bare reducing the number of carbon sinks thereby contributing to global warming and climate change. The use of illegal fishing methods such as poison, mosquito nets and monofilament nets to catch fish also negatively affect the aquatic environment through water contamination. The Impact of Environmental and Climate Change Issues on the Sector The impact of Environment and climate change to the sector are very real and these include disease outbreaks such as Newcastle disease in chickens and To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 81 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN worms in goats due to extreme temperatures. The floods which are being experienced due to climate change contribute to high infestation of parasites to animals and also the flooding of fish ponds leading to loss of animals and fish hence affecting production and productivity. Extreme temperatures as a result of Climate change contributes to drying up of the lake leading to loss of some fish species hence reducing fish production and productivity. Climate change also contributes to increased cost of production for livestock and fishing due to new adaptive methods in the sector.

2.4.5.10 Issues Arising Relating to Gender Groups and Vulnerable Groups Women and other vulnerable persons in most communities have negative perception when it comes to livestock and fish farming hence access to inputs and extension services are mainly accessed by men. Most women, youths and other vulnerable persons prefer rearing of chickens, ducks and goats as they feel they can easily manage them as compared to fish farming which they believe is labour intensive.

2.4.5.11 Summary for Fisheries and Livestock sector. Fisheries and livestock sector is one of the main economic drive in the district although the sector has been hampered with a number of challenges such as high Officer to farmer ratio, lack of adequate transport for both water and land, fishers using wrong fishing gears and lack of other fisheries and livestock infrastructures. Currently livestock and fish farming is being done on small scale mainly small livestock and few cattle. However, there is potential for the growth of the sector through fish farming and livestock rearing since there is readily available land for these activities. There is therefore need to address the mentioned challenges in order to greatly improve the production and productivity thereby improving the economic status of the district.

2.4.5.12 Consideration of the Underlying Factors Contributing to the Issues Identified 1. Inadequate extension officers to assist farmers on important livestock and fisheries messages to increase livestock and fish production 2. Lack of vaccines (Newcastle) to vaccinate all the chickens in the district hence farmers losing a lot of birds due to Newcastle disease. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 82 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 3. Inadequate funding to facilitate for effective service delivery to the communities. 4. Poor road network poses challenges to officers to effectively deliver extension services. 5. Due to lack of water vessels (Engine boat) has resulted into conducting less water patrols causing fishers taking advantage of using bad fishing methods hence depleting fish in the lake.

2.4.5.13 Summary Core Problems The public consultation meetings reviewed a number of challenges that communities are going through under fisheries and livestock sector in Kaputa district and these challenges needed to be addressed for positive impact of the sector. The following are the summary of the core problems in the district; 1. Inadequate extension services (Limited number of extension staffs) to assist farmers for enhanced livestock and fish production and productivity. 2. High incidences of poultry diseases especially Newcastle in village chickens due to non-availability of vaccines. 3. Low production and productivity of fish in the lake due to use of bad fishing methods. 4. Fish farmers unable to venture into fish farming due to non- availability of fish seed and feed in the district. 5. Inadequate fisheries and livestock infrastructures such as livestock breeding centres, fish hatcheries and houses for camp extension officers in the district.

2.4.6 TOURISM SECTOR Introduction and background Tourism in Kaputa is one sector with potential to bring in meaningful development for the district, Kaputa has the Mweru Wantipa National Park which was declared in 1973 on statutory instrument No. 58 of 1973 of the laws of Zambia and is the major tourist attraction in Kaputa District. Much of the National Park’s area is situated in the Northern Province of Zambia with just a small portion in the Nchelenge District of Luapula Province. The total coverage area of the National Park is 3,134Km2 and it encompasses all of the Lake Mweru Wantipa. The main vegetation of the National park is itigi thicket which is intact in some parts of the National park but is under threat due to encroachments in areas surrounding the National Park coupled with low number of staff to police the protected area. The National park was set aside and established to provide for the conservation, protection and management of the diversity of wildlife, the Lake Mweru Wantipa, the surrounding ecosystems as well as the historical and heritage site for scientific, recreation economic aesthetic and educational purpose so as to benefit the present and future generation. Tourism Sites Outside the National Park, there are a number of tourist attractions ranging from Kundabwika falls which is along Kalungwishi River and located about 120km from the district headquarters, other atractions include Kamishimbi hot spring in Chichenchelebwe village some 10Km from Kaputa town and Kapisha hot spring located some 8KM from Kaputa District comprising of three springs identified as one with very hot water, another with warm water and the other with cold water flowing into a natural Dam. It is at the Kapisha hot spring a place designed for chiefs burial cite known as (Kumalala Mfumu) which has been recommended to be protected and declared as a heritage site.

Kaputa Game Management area (GMA) The GMA covers approximately 3,600km2 of land. The area is highly encroached in the western part with many unplanned human settlements exposing it to illegal activities in Mweru Wantipa NP and blocking of wildlife migratory corridors. The GMA is characterized with swampy areas that accommodate a good number of Sitatunga and bird species. Animal species sighted during the reporting period included bush pig, crocodile, hippo, sitatunga and jackal. The GMA has a pending activity on the formulation of the GMP which has reached an advanced stage.

2.4.6.2 Issues Arising From the Public Participation Process Availability of Service Data collection was conducted in the field through consultation from the local communities surrounding the National Park and the GMA on their views concerning wildlife services in those areas and the issues identified were as follows  Inadequate staff to protect wildlife resources in the area.  Lack of wildlife outposts surrounding the national park and the GMA  Ignorance of Park boundaries by the local communities for the National Park and Game management areas leading to encroachments.  Distance from Wildlife Offices making it difficult for communities to access wildlife related services.  Tourism cites are available in the Kaputa District To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 88 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

2.4.6.3 Quality of Service Including Key Indicators of Performance  Inadequate staff, has led to loss of Wildlife in Mweru-Wantipa National Park and Kaputa GMA.  Reopening of new Wildlife outpost in surrounding areas of lambwe Chomba and Mukupa Katandula Villages for the local communities in those areas to access Wildlife services.  Ignorance of Park boundaries has resulted into more land being cleared for farming and construction of houses which has as well resulted in construction of Government structures such as schools and health posts. (e,g) Kawama and Kasongole villages.  Distance from Wildlife offices to the communities which becomes difficult to access Wildlife services, ( e,g) permits and licenses.  Tourism cites not commonly known by many because they are under developed

2.4.6.4 Impact of Changes anticipated over the next Ten Years Population Change – Future Demand for Services and Facilities  Due to population increase More land will be occupied by illegal settlers and more trees being cut down  More people Encroaching the National park in search of social amenities such as land for cultivation, fire wood and water.  Due to unclear park boundaries, coupled with population increase, more Government institution may mistakenly be constructed in the National Park which may put pressure and increase unsustainable exploitation of natural resources.

2.4.6.5 The Impact of the Continuation of Existing Trends on Land Use and Population Distribution Patterns Due to population dynamics there will be pressure on Natural resources such as trees in the National Park for fire wood, Charcoal production and poles for thatching of roofs for houses. People may encroach in the National Park and letter compete resources with animals such as water and land which will eventually result into Human wildlife Conflict. Some Government schools for example Kawama and Kasongole were constructed in the National Park and as the population increased around the area people have opted to cultivate in the National Park and as the trend continues, more land will be taken away as new land will be cleared for farming and construction of structures in the protected area. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 89 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

2.4.6.6 Environment and Climate Change Analysis The Impact of Existing Trends on the Environment and Climate Change  Frequent Floods at Mibangale Village, - caused by change of land use plan (Encroachment into the National Park)  Reduced rainfall pertain- due to over cutting of tree. The Impact of Environmental and Climate Change Issues on the Sector Loss of biodiversity/different life forms as more land is being cleared for cultivation and human habitation Drying water bodies - extreme temperatures as a result of climate change due to deforestation will result inlake Mweru-Wantipa drying out such that aquatic life will fail to survive the extreme conditions and will have a negative impact on the local communities who are fishermen.

2.4.6.7 Issues Arising Relating to Gender Groups and Vulnerable Groups Males  High unemployment levels leading to a lot of men engaging themselves in illegal activities, such as poaching  More trees being harvested from the National Park and Game management area for construction of grass thatched houses.  More land for cultivation being cleared. Females  Demand for resources, such as firewood and charcoal leading to deforestation of National Park.  High illiteracy levels to both men and women living adjacent to the National Park and in the Game Management Area (GMA)  Inadequate resources to support the formalization of Community resource board (CRB) to empower both men and women living in the Game Management Area.

2.4.7 WATER AND SANITATION SECTOR Overall Objective of the sector The overall objective of the 2019 – 2030 NRWSSP is: “Sustainable and equitable access to safe water supply and adequate sanitation to meet basic needs for improved health and poverty alleviation for all Zambia’s rural population in line with the Vision 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals” Background information Vision 2030, Zambia's first documented long-term plan, articulates the goals of the Zambian people to be achieved by the year 2030 and serves as the cornerstone of the country's development agenda. It is backed by many international, national, and local programs, plans, and strategies. It lays out the proper sectoral and national objectives to fulfill peoples' desires. The Vision expresses potential long-term alternative development policy scenarios at various stages through the target year 2030, as well as the preferred long- term routes for the socioeconomic indicators to meet the desires of the populace. As a result, it will serve as the foundation for communication between all sectors and offer guidance for short- and medium-term strategies. It is a fundamental human right to have access to necessities like clean, safe drinking water and proper sanitary facilities. As a result, supplying communities/institutions with clean, safe water guarantees the maintenance of improved living circumstances.

2.4.7.1 Key Government Priorities Being and To Be Implemented at A Local Level (Review of Policies and Plans) Review of policies and plans Since ancient times, Zambia has prioritized development in the water and sa nitation sector through a number of plans, policies, and strategies to reach t he current state of water and sanitation within the socioeconomic context of this sector. Some of the other instruments that have been employed in the p ast and are currently in use are listed below; 1) Working as enshrined in the local government act number 2 of 2019 first schedule (section 16(2)) the local authority is tasked to supply water and sanitation services. 2) This is strengthened by the 2010 water policy which advocates for a consultative stakeholder’s involvement formulation of a framework for water resources management and protection. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 92 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 3) National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program (NRWSSP) 2019 – 2030 4) National Urban and Peri – urban sanitation strategy 2015 – 2030 Sector Objective The water sector reform aims to achieve universal coverage of water supply, development and sanitation in the district. The sector has one Development outcome with two strategies and six programs being and to be implemented at local level. a) Developmental Outcome: Improve Water Supply and Sanitation 1) Strategy 1: Improve access to clean and safe water supply Programs  Infrastructure development and maintenance  Water quality monitoring 2) Strategy 2: Improve sanitation services  Infrastructure development and maintenance  Sanitation and hygiene promotion  Investment promotion  Solid waste management

2.4.7.2 Description of the Existing State of Development a) Water supply Availability of Service Boreholes, shallow wells, and contaminated surface water sources like rivers, lakes, and streams are the primary sources of water for the people living in Kaputa, with the exception of a tiny portion of the population who are connected to a piped water network system provided by Chambeshi Water and Sewerage Company. The water coverage in the district stands at 52.1% according to the DHIMS2. The figure below shows the location of water facilities (boreholes) across the district To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 93 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Figure 20: Functional and Non-Functional Water Points Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council, 2024 The table below highlights the number of existing water points (boreholes) and their status in the district.

2.4.7.3 Issues Arising from the Public Participation Process The erratic water supply in some parts of the district's urban and rural was one of the main issues raised by public participation. Due to this, the majority of the members have been using contaminated water sources, which has exposed them to illnesses and negatively impacted the socioeconomic well- being of the home. Availability of Service  A number of communities only have access to unsafe and unclean water for domestic use. These sources are mainly open and shallow wells.  Limited and uneven distribution of functional boreholes with safe water for domestic use.  Availability of non-functional boreholes.  Unavailability of water schemes  Availability of Community Based Volunteers (APMs, CCs, V-WASHE and SAGs) To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 95 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN  Absence of water utility company in certain per urban zones Table 52: Issues arising from public participation process.

2.4.7.4 Quality of Service Including Key Indicators of Performance Global, state, and federal organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) strictly enforce the requirement that all water be of high quality, that is, free from contamination. There are several reasons why the quality of service provided is mediocre: 1. The inadequate coverage to meet population demand and the lack of resources to maintain the infrastructure. 2. Inadequate management and upkeep of rural borehole water supply infrastructure not only limits the availability of services to a select group of users, but also contributes to a disproportionately high-water demand. 3. 52% of the population has access to clean water out of the total water supply, however the distribution of water sources is uneven. 4. The coverage of WASH in schools is 40%, whereas it is estimated to be 80% in health centres. 5. The district comprises 277 boreholes in total, of which 227 are operational and 50 non-operational. 6. It is very obvious from the standards for rural water supply that a single water point must serve a minimum of 25 families, or 250 people, and that the travel time to get to this water point must be no more than thirty minutes. For Kaputa District, nevertheless, this is not the case. The district's large population travels great distances—roughly one kilometre—to get water. The key indicator performance for water supply is: 1. Number of water schemes erected 2. The quantity of boreholes dug and furnished with hand pumps 3. Number of boreholes rehabilitated 4. Number of sensitisation programs on Operation and Maintenance under Sustainable Operation and Maintenance Program (SOMAP)

2.4.7.5 Impact of Changes Anticipated Over the Next Ten Years Population Change – Future Demand for Services and Facilities The National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program (NRWSSP) 2019–2030 states that the per capita demand for water supply is 25 families or more per water source. The population prediction for the next ten (10) years indicates that there will be a rise in need for more water supply infrastructure (schemes, protected wells, and boreholes) throughout the district. This will entail expanding the current water delivery network systems and drilling additional boreholes and schemes. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 97 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

2.4.7.6 Existing and Proposed Investment and Development Programmes Water supply in the district can be categorized into two parts which are; the urban part which is been serviced by Chambeshi Water and Sewerage Company (CWSC) and the rural part serviced by the local authority. Despite the presence of a water utility company and supply of water through RWSS unit, there are other sources of water which include: wells, kiosks, streams, rivers and the lake. Provision of water infrastructure through water scheme erection, drilling and rehabilitation of boreholes and maintenance/extension of the existing Chambeshi water and sewerage company piped network is an existing as well as a proposed investment program in the district. The investment is supported by Local Government, Central Government and partners who compliment Government efforts. Partners in the district like DAI SUN - TA and Muslim Community support the enhancement of water coverage in the district.

2.4.7.7 The Impact of the Continuation of Existing Trends on Land Use and Population Distribution Patterns Because of the district's layout of urbanization, there are now few water points. The district will continue to record ground water contamination from agricultural chemicals and fertilizers, as well as decreased space for housing and infrastructure development due to the ongoing drilling of boreholes and scheme erections. These trends in land use and development in the WASHE sector will not change. This implies that the distribution of the population will keep following the same trajectory. Because of these settlement patterns, it is challenging to provide water and sanitation services, but as water is essential to life, all communities and institutions should be given priority when it comes to receiving clean, safe, and sufficient water and sanitation services.

2.4.7.8 Environment and Climate Change Analysis The Effects of Current Patterns on Climate Change and the Environment The district's already-stressed water supplies, eco-systems, and derived systems are put under more strain by climate change. The present trends that affect the water environment in Kaputa district include deforestation of riverbanks and water recharge regions, as well as river sand mining in all streams and rivers, including Choma Mutima and Kalungwishi. Because they all require the destruction of vegetation and severe disruption of many natural cycles, these activities contribute to climate change. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 98 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN The Impact of Environmental and Climate Change Issues on the Sector The Kaputa district's water supply has been impacted by climate change. This is because there is less water seeping into aquifers as a result of the district's poor rainfall and increased demand for drilled boreholes. Rainfall patterns have caused the drilling depth of water to rise from 50 meters to 80 meters and beyond. Compared to rivers, groundwater is affected by climate change less immediately and more gradually. This is because rivers refill more quickly than other natural disasters, such as droughts and floods, which are swiftly reflected in river levels and decreased precipitation. Impacts of climate change continue to be the key worry for maintaining the advancement of the water industry in terms of better service delivery. Declining water levels, a sign of diminishing water resources, have been seen earlier than expected, from year to year.

2.4.7.9 Issues Arising Relating to Gender Groups and Vulnerable Groups The need to have water and sanitation facilities closer to households in order for the elderly, differently abled and children to have easy access to the service is essential. Kaputa lacks adequate sanitation systems that are accessible and available (located not more than 100 meters away from home). The location of water points further than the prescribed 500 meters round trip causes a challenge and compromised hygiene practices in both men and women for vulnerable groups such as elderly and differently abled especially girl child about menstrual hygiene. Here are some potential issues that arise relating to gender groups and vulnerable groups under water and sanitation: Gender Groups: 1. Lack of access to sanitation facilities: women and girls may face challenges in accessing safe and private sanitation facilities, particularly in public places. 2. Inadequate menstrual hygiene management: Women and girls may lack access to adequate menstrual hygiene products, facilities, and information. 3. Water collection burden: women and girls often bear the responsibility of collecting water, leading to time and energy burdens. 4. Exclusion from decision - making: Women may be excluded from decision - making processes related to water and sanitation management. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 99 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Vulnerable Groups: 1. Disability access: Individuals with disabilities may face barriers in accessing water and sanitation facilities 2. Age – related challenges: children, elderly, and young children may face difficulties in accessing water and sanitation facilities 3. Cultural and linguistic barriers: Ethnic and linguistic minorities may face challenges in accessing water and sanitation services due to language and culture differences. 4. Poverty and affordability: Low – income households may struggle to afford water and sanitation services Addressing these issues is crucial to ensure equitable access to water and sanitation services for individuals, particularly gender groups and vulnerable populations

2.4.7.10 Summary In water supply the district mainly depends on boreholes, piped water and perennial streams for sources of water. The district’s sanitation scenario can be divided into 2 parts of which is the use of both onsite sanitation which is the majority and offsite sanitation Water plays a cardinal role in socio-economic development and is fundamental for sustaining all forms of life however, the provision of water and access to water supply and sanitation continues to be a challenge in Kaputa. Stakeholders in the district highlighted challenges in the provision of water supply and sanitation which are: 1. Inadequate access to clean, safe water and limited sanitation services in all the 17 wards of the district. Reliable access to water supply is an important factor in improving agricultural production through irrigation as it reduces complete reliance on rain-fed agriculture, which is seasonal. Kaputa has a favorable climate, which could support at least two crop harvests a year if water was made available throughout the year by both emergent and small-scale irrigation schemes. This would not only improve food security and reduce the cost of food, but would also help reduce poverty in rural communities.

2.4.7.11 Consideration of the Underlying Factors Contributing to the Issues Identified The issues constraining effective development and management of the water sector in Kaputa consist of: 1. Inadequate and unpredictable sector funding; and relatively lower and declining share in budgetary allocation To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 100 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2. Inadequate stakeholder participation particularly in water resources management.

2.4.8 TRANSPORT, COMMUNICATION, ENERGY AND MINING SECTORS

2.4.8.1 Key Government Priorities Being and To Be Implemented At A Local Level (Review of Policies and Plans) The National Transport Policy (2019) guides the transportation sector in Zambia which aspires to create an intermodal transport system which would provide for inter-linkages among the four modes of transport (rail, road, air and water) and ultimately transform Zambia into a regional transport hub by 2028. Kaputa District primarily relies on the road transport network for the movement of people, goods and services to and fro the District. The District by road is linked to its neighbouring Districts namely; Chiengi, Nsama and Mporokoso and Nchelenge Districts. Within the District, Kaputa has rural roads traversing through all the 17 wards and feeding into the main District roads. Kaputa is also linked to the South-Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Water transport is another mode of transport that is used in Kaputa District though largely by fishermen and fish traders via Lake Mweru-Wantipa, and other tributary rivers. Communication in Zambia falls under the Information and Communication Technologies sector which is guided by the National Information and Communication Technology Policy (2023), the policy expresses the renewed commitment of the Zambian government with respect to the development of the Information and Communication Technology sector and leveraging its benefits to revolutionize key sectors of the economy. Furthermore, looking at the district’s poor road infrastructure, the Roads and Road Traffic Act needs to be prioritised as it makes provision for the care, maintenance and construction of roads in Zambia.

2.4.8.2 Description of the Existing State Of Development Availability of Services Energy Energy plays a vital role in the district's and the nation's overall socioeconomic growth. Kaputa is blessed with a variety of energy resources, especially woods and woodlands for the manufacturing of charcoal and abundant sunlight for solar energy. Because it is less expensive to acquire than other energy sources like solar To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 102 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN and hydroelectric power, charcoal is the most widely used energy source. However, the manufacturing of charcoal is discouraged due to its negative environmental effects, including air pollution and deforestation, which might eventually alter the pattern of precipitation. The district's primary energy sources include solar energy, charcoal and with a few households in the 17 wards with access to electricity through the national grid. Based on the data that is currently available, 20% of residences are linked to the national electrical grid, whilst 80% utilize solar power mainly for lighting and charcoal for cooking. Mining Kaputa district boosts of salt mining which plays a pivotal role as one of the most important sources of revenue for the local inhabitants and also for the development of the district. Investment opportunities exist in salt production in the District and there has been some traces of other mineral deposits of valuable nature in the district and these are gold, copper and traces of uranium and other precious minerals and this is according to reports from geological expeditions done by Geologists in the district under the Ministry of Mines. The District inhabits the Chifwilo and Chilambwe salt pans in Kaleulu ward and the Kabwe salt pan in Chipili ward. There is need for the Ministry of Mines to further profile the district to would be investors in the mining sector and publish a complete cadastre or register of minerals present in the district. Mostly salt production is at subsistence level with no mechanization. Below are pictures of the salt production being undertaken in the district. Communication An essential component of any district's development is communication. Zambia Postal Services (ZamPost), which is located next to the council lodge, offers postal service.Ten (10) communication towers are available for mobile services in the Kaputa District. However, due to a lack of adequate communication infrastructure, not every area of the district is covered by To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 103 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN mobile services. In addition, Airtel, MTN, and Zamtel are the district's three (3) mobile network service providers. These mobile network service providers offer mobile money services in addition to internet and telecommunication services. Nevertheless, there are some places with spotty or nonexistent cell network coverage especially in wards further from the district administrative center. Roads and Inland Waterways Below is a table showing the status of the roads and inland waterways in Kaputa district. S.N Sector Status Location 1. Roads and Unmaintained deteriorated All the 17 wards Drainages rocky/gravel and earthen roads without quality crossing points, existing drainages road furniture. 2. Inland Overgrown vegetation along the Lake Mweru- Waterways streams and lack of safe water Wantipa vessels to transport people and goods especially on the lake.

2.4.8.3 Quality of Service Including Key Indicators of Performance Whether they are bituminous or gravel, all decent road networks require regular maintenance to remain in working order. To ensure this, a maintenance program must be established. For the district to maintain the current infrastructure, it must build new roads and provide other transportation-related services to accommodate the expanding population. According to standard service provision of roads, all roads in Kaputa require attention as they are all in a poor and unmaintained state.

2.4.8.4 Issues Arising From the Public Participation Process Availability of Services and quality of service The district coordinating team held consultative sessions with members of the community, traditional leaders, and Ward Development Committees (WDCs). The following suggestions for improvements and problems pertaining transport and communication were raised in each of the seventeen (17) wards were made.  Bad state of roads in all the wards of the district  Poor mobile network coverage in 15 wards except for 3 wards near the district headquarter  Limited access to electricity in most parts of the 17 wards as the majority of the population have no access to electricity.

2.4.8.5 Environment and Climate Change Analysis Because infrastructure projects alter the terrain physically, they have an effect on the environment. The reduction in land cover is expected to have a To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 106 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN detrimental impact on climate change since more vegetation will need to be destroyed to make room for infrastructure expansion. The district’s population will be increasingly dispersed due to increased infrastructure in every community.

3.0 Vision for the Long Term Development of the District “To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034”

3.1 Policies to Direct Development The following are the policies and plans that will direct the development of Kaputa District during the implementation period the IDP. Much of the programes and projects will be implemented in accordance with these acts, plans and policies  Vision 2030 To be a prosperous middle income nation by the year 2030  Eighth National Development Plans (8NDP) Provide a national framework for resources allocation every 5 years. This builds up on 7NDP. The district’s development will be anchored on the 8NDP and the IDP will be aligned to the national development plan.  Decentralisation Policy Meant to take power close to the people for their own development benefit. Additional districts have been created since 2011 and provincial administrations have been recently reinforced. Capacity is planned to be developed at local government level matching devolved responsibilities, which may include fiscal measures. The policy will be useful for the IDP in terms of enhancement of local governance through capacity building of local structures like WDCs  Local Government Act of 2019 An Act to provide for an integrated local government system; give effect to the decentralisation of functions, responsibilities and services at all levels of local government; ensure democratic participation in, and control of, decision making by the people at the local level; revise the functions of local authorities; provide for the review of tariffs, charges and fees within the area of a local authority; provide for the proceedings of the council and committees; provide for the role of traditional leadership in democratic governance; repeal and replace the Local Government Act, 1991; and provide for matters connected with, or incidental to, the foregoing. The act will be essential tool in terms local administration and provision of municipal services to the people of Kaputa To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 111 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN  Lands Act (1995) All land is vested on H.E. the President of Zambia, the continuation of leasehold tenure to individuals or private entities is ensured. The Act provides for the statutory recognition of customary tenure, with possibility of being converted to private land. It also establishes the land development fund and land tribunals. The act will be essential in the administration of land in the district especially that Local Area Plans are part of proposed interventions in the administration of land for the district  Urban and Regional Planning Act (2015) Establishes procedures for integrated urban and regional planning in a devolved system of governance so as to ensure multi-sector cooperation, coordination and involvement of different levels of ministries, provincial administration, local authorities, traditional leaders and other stakeholders in urban and regional planning. This act is very essential to this IDP has it will guide the implementation of the planning agreements and local area plans that have been proposed in this IDP.  National Urbanisation Policy (NUP) NUP is meant to be a deliberated government-led process of coordinating and rallying various actors for establishing a shared vision for the desired urbanisation within 2030. The district has proposed various interventions to ensure that it transforms from being predominantly rural to a more formal and urban outlook, therefore this policy will be essential to guide the urbanisation of Kaputa District through various proposed development programs and projects outlined in this IDP  National Policy on Climate Change, 2016 Policy aimed at stemming the impact of climate change and subsequent reduction of the country's annual economic growth due to crop failure and the impact of climate change on energy production. Kaputa district has not been spared from the effects of climate change and hence much of the proposed interventions aimed at combating the harsh effects of climate change will be from this policy.  The National Policy on Environment, 2008 The aim of this Policy is to ensure sound environmental management within a framework of sustainable development in Zambia. This policy will be essential to guide the district towards sustainable development which does not causes or has minimum threats to the environment.  Sustainable development goals (SDGs) Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 112 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN peace and prosperity. These goals will be essential to the development of Kaputa district as much of the proposed interventions and programs towards developing the district will be aligned to these goals so as to foster sustainable development in the district  Water Resources Management Act of 2011 An Act to establish the Water Resources Management Authority and define its functions and powers; provide for the management, development, conservation, protection and preservation of the water resource and its ecosystems; provide for the equitable, reasonable and sustainable utilization of the water resource; ensure the right to draw or take water for domestic and non-commercial purposes. The act will be vital in the management of the water bodies present in Kaputa district including underground water, being an essential commodity programs aimed at water resource management have been provided in this IDP.  Tourism policy This policy document provides the guidelines and general aims of the Government for tourism development. It also gives a clear statement of the Government's intentions towards the tourism sector. Kaputa District has tourism as one of its potential sectors that can bring meaningful development in the district and this policy will guide the implementation of programs and projects aimed at the development of the tourism sector  Agriculture policy The policy is a cross cutting policy whose vision is to develop a competitive and diversified agricultural sector driven by equitable and sustainable agricultural development. One core issue identified in the IDP is low agricultural production and productivity in the agricultural sector and this policy will be essential to guide the development and improvement of the agricultural sector.  The Second National Agriculture Policy, 2016 Guide to Government, the private sector, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Development Partners (DPs) in developing the agriculture sector. This policy will be essential to guide the projects and projects in the agricultural sector within Kaputa district and will be useful to guide the relations with development partners in the agriculture sector.  National Social Protection Policy of 2014 A policy framework to guide all stakeholders in the delivery of social protection services in order to ensure that quality of life of many Zambians is improved. This policy will be essential in Kaputa district to guide the execution of various programs which are social protection based in nature To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 113 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN and will also be useful in addressing the core issue identified of high poverty levels in the district.  National Gender Policy 2014 The National Gender Policy ensures the attainment of gender equality in the development process by redressing the existing gender imbalances. It also provides for equal opportunities for women and men to actively participate and contribute to their fullest ability and equitably benefit from national development. The district has noted gaps in the quest for government’s policy towards fostering gender equity and proposed gender programmes in the district.  National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Policy This Policy, therefore provides a framework for addressing the HIV/AIDS/STI/TB situation in Zambia, outlining the causes and factors that perpetuate the transmission and the impact of HIV/AIDS/STI/TB on the Zambian population. The impact of these diseases has notably become visibly seen and is posing a huge draw back to the development of the district, therefore Kaputa district will use this policy to draw programs aimed at the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

3.4 Spatial Development Framework The spatial development framework aims to detail various planning proposals that will address the spatial growth of the IDP area during the implementation period. This section brings out all the spatial strategies and concepts that the district will utilize in order to address the identified core issues or problems that are related to socio-economic development as well as infrastructure development of the district. The framework will further spell out land use proposals that will be aimed at maintaining and protecting the environment and socio-economic aspects of the development of Kaputa district and this will include planning policies and proposals for the informal settlements present in the district.

3.4.1 Alternative Spatial Development Scenarios The following are the alternative development scenarios that will be able to address to the identified core issues or problems; a. Growth Node Development Concept The concept focuses on areas where a higher intensity of land uses and activities will be supported and promoted at a specific growth point that has potential endowments for development. The growth node development concept helps to improve the efficiency and easy access to a variety of community services which are brought closer to the growth nodes or poles as opposed to have one specific center where services are to be accessed. For Kaputa District, this spatial strategy of growth nodes will focus on settlements where there is already existing potential or intensity of commercial and government services and these will act as sub-district centres. The identified potential growth centres are Kalaba in Mwawe ward, Nkosha or Kalolesha in Kalungwishi ward and Kasongole in Nkonta ward. These areas have potential for growth as commercial centres as well as administrative centres in order to bring services closer to the people of Mukupa Kantandula, Kasongole and Kalaba areas. Access to government services by these people in the aforementioned areas has been a challenge due to the long distances they have to cover to access the services and hence a consideration of setting up various services in these growth points will spar socio-economic development that is all inclusive of the district citizenry. At these points a variety of land uses can be prioritized and these must include, commercial, residential, administrative, recreational, mixed use, places of worship and community services. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 135 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Figure 23: Map showing the proposed growth nodes Chienge Nsama Nchelenge Mporokoso Kawambwa Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council, 2024 b. Interconnectivity Development Concept The concept focuses on the linkage of various growth points within the district through the major transportation routes. The concept utilizes a planning concept of corridors which are defined as areas along major transportation routes where an increased intensity of development will naturally be attracted and may be encouraged. This concept sits well with Kaputa District as most settlements are along the three main transportation routes which are Mununga to Kaputa CBD via Kasongole settlement, Kaputa CBD to Nsama district via Kalaba settlement and Nkosha to Mporokoso District via Mukupa Kantandula junction. Interlinking these settlements with a good road network will attract investments in these settlements and enable them urbanize as the road will naturally attract investments in these settlements as it will ease transportation of goods and services and enable the locals to trade with the neighbouring districts. In the long run this will boost the social- economic status of these settlements as commerce and trade will be enhanced. Below is a map showing the development scenario. Below is map showing the inter linkages of settlements in the district through the district and secondary roads. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 136 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Figure 24: Interconnectivity of settlements in Kaputa District Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council, 2024

3.4.2 Chosen Spatial Development Scenario The chosen spatial development scenario is the Interconnectivity spatial development concept. The following reasons justify the chosen spatial development scenario; a) Kaputa district since its creation has not had a bituminous standard road and only has gravel rocky roads that link the settlements situated on the growth nodes thus upgrading of the district roads to bituminous standard will rise the social economic status of the district as trade and commerce will be enhanced due to ease of access to neighboring markets in the neighboring districts and provinces. From the figure above it can be seen that the district roads are connecting the district into neighboring districts like Nchelenge and this route leads to markets on the Copperbelt and Lusaka provinces. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 137 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN b) The interconnectivity concept will likely to be beneficial to the development of the entire district’s settlements through commerce and trade as well and in the long run this will foster socio-economic growth as well as force these growth areas to expand spatially and this will call for a great need for the proper landuse planning of the growth areas identified which are Nkosha, Kalaba, Kasongole and Kaputa central, these settlements expect Kaputa Central will need to be secured with Planning Agreements which will should culminate in the creation of land use maps and layouts that will spell out the spatial development of the these areas. For Nkosha, Kalaba and Kasongole, the landuse maps will be done through the creation of Local Area Plans after Planning agreements are concluded with the traditional leadership (His Royal Highness Chief Kaputa and His Royal Highness Chief Mukupa Katandula. Below are existing landuse maps for Kaputa Central growth area which hosts the district administration centre. Figure 25: Landuse map 1 of the planned land in Kaputa District Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council, 2024 To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 138 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Figure 26: Landuse map 2 of the planned land in Kaputa District Source: Town Planning Unit, Kaputa Town Council, 2024

3.4.3 Land Use Planning Policies and Proposals to Improve, Maintain or Protect the Environmental, Social and Economic Aspects of Development The implementation of the Kaputa Integrated Development Plan will be aligned towards the preservation or conservation of the environment, the social aspects of the people of Kaputa District and also the economic setup and development of Kaputa District. The district is endowed with tourist potential sites which are also environmentally sensitive in nature hence the implementation of the plan will be in line with the consideration of protecting those areas, these are the Mweru-Wantipa Game Management area, Lake Mweru Wantipa, Choma and Kulungwishi rivers and also the Kundabwika Falls on the Kalungwishi River and further the socio-economic aspects of the people of Kaputa will equally be put into consideration. Below are landuse planning policies and proposals to improve, maintain and protect the environmental, social and economic aspects of development. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 139 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Table 55: Landuse planning planning policies and proposals S/n Aspect of Land use Description of Land use Planning Development Planning Policy Policy and Proposal 1 Environmental Protection zones This spatial strategy is aimed at planning policy protecting the valuable natural, and proposal economic or heritage resources, such as agricultural land, wetlands, ecological corridors or scenic landscapes. Protection will be required for parts of settlements where there is an establishment of a network of green spaces in urban areas and other parts of the IDP area. The strategy is based upon the principles of protection and is backed by development control policies and strategies. This strategy will be essential in protecting the environmentally sensitive areas in Kaputa District 2 Environmental, Greenfield The concept incorporates innovative social and Development and sustainable features by carefully Economic Planning considering environmental factors, Proposal energy efficiency and community needs. The concept ensures the optimization of space and minimizing urban sprawl and helps reduce on excessive land consumption and fosters the preservation of open spaces. This concept will be used in Kaputa to preserve and protect the environment while developing in a sustainable manner with recognition of the community needs 3 Social Corridor Corridors are areas along major economic Development transportation routes where an planning increased intensity of development will proposal naturally be attracted and may be encouraged. For Kaputa District the routes are the district roads along which settlements are aligned. This concept will be essential for Kaputa District as much of the socio-economic To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 140 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN aspects of development will be addressed during the implementation of the IDP 4 Environmental Resilient cities The concept is concerned with the and socio- planning overall abilities of a city’s governance, economic proposal physical, economic and social systems and its entities to avert hazards by being ready in advance to plan for uncertainties and be ready to resist, absorb, accommodate and eventually be able to recover from the effects of hazards. The concept will be ideal for Kaputa in the preservation of the environment and socio-economic aspects of the development of the district.

3.4.4 Land Use Planning Policies and Proposals for Specific Protection Zones, Areas Of Environmental Sensitivity Or Cultural And Historical Importance Or Areas Of Importance For Disaster Management Purposes Kaputa district is endowed with areas which are of environmental, cultural and historical importance, the district boasts of the Kundabwika falls, the lake Mweru- wantipa, the Mweru- Wantipa GMA, streams, rivers and hot springs, these physical phenomena are of a huge significant importance in the parameters of the environment and the culture and history of the people of Kaputa. The following landuse planning policies will be applied to protect and preserve these areas which maybe threat of mismanagement Table 56: Landuse planning policy and proposals S/n Land use Description of Land use Planning Policy Planning Policy and Proposal 1 Protection zones This spatial strategy is aimed at protecting the valuable planning policy natural, economic or heritage resources, such as and proposal agricultural land, wetlands, ecological corridors or scenic landscapes.

The strategy is based upon the principles of protection and is backed by development control policies and strategies. This strategy will be To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 141 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN essential in protecting the environmentally sensitive areas in Kaputa District 2 Greenfield The concept incorporates innovative and sustainable Development features by carefully considering environmental factors, Planning Proposal energy efficiency and community needs. The concept ensures the optimization of space and minimizing urban sprawl and helps reduce on excessive land consumption and fosters the preservation of open spaces. This concept will be used in Kaputa to preserve and protect the environment while developing in a sustainable manner with recognition of the community needs Once applied these two planning policies or proposals will be essential to ensure the preservation of these areas which have a huge influence on the culture and history of the people of Kaputa District as they have been for a long time a source of livelihood especially the lake Mweru-Wantipa which provides fish for the local people.

3.4.5 Land Use Planning Policies and Proposals for Informal Settlements with a Description of Improvement Inputs or Other Management Responses Required and the Appropriate Building and Land Use Controls to Be Applied In Those Areas Kaputa District is predominantly rural with only one ward (Choma) that has planned land and two informal settlements which were incorporated in the township boundary, these two are Posa and Kantalamba settlements, the rest of the wards are composed of villages and all sit in traditional leadership. The council has two informal settlements opposed the planned land in Chitandala ward called Shadreck and Chashele, these too needed attention in terms of improving them. The landuse planning proposal that will be used to improve these settlements is the application of Part IV of the Urban and Regional Planning of 2015. The section quoted looks at the declaration of improvement areas, as the act outlines the two settlements in customary land will be improved subject to a planning agreement with His Royal Highness Chief Kaputa and after which Local Area Plans will be created for all the settlements. The local authority will further in accordance with the act undertake the following activities; a) The local authority will subdivide, consolidate or alter boundaries of the land in the settlements through the local area plan. b) The local authority will further carry out the construction and maintenance of roads, pathways, waterworks, drainage, sewerage and other works for public amenity as it may consider necessary or desirable. To be a prosperous socio-economic and self-sufficient district by the year 2034 142 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN The land use controls that will be applied in the improvement areas will be drawn from the regulations and standards stipulated in the Urban and Regional Regulations of 2020 and the development plans will be will created in accordance with the Urban and Regional Planning (Development Plans Guidelines and Exempted Development Classes).

3.4.6 Land Use Planning Policies and Proposals for Areas under the Jurisdiction of Traditional Authorities and Proposed Policies and Proposals for Those Areas Kaputa district has 90% of its land under the jurisdiction of the traditional leadership, Out of the 17 wards in the district only one ward (Choma) has land under state land.

4.1 Local Authority Financial Plan The overview of resources and needs for putting the IDP into practice is covered in this chapter, along with strategies for organizing the areas and resources to guarantee effective use. Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) is considered in the financial plan. The financial plan for the local authority over the years 2022 and 2023 reveals interesting trends. Local taxes exceeded their budget in both years, while fees and charges fell short. Licenses performed poorly, and levies saw a significant increase in 2023. The Local Government Equalization Fund (LGEF) remained consistent, and the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) achieved full performance. Commercial ventures improved. Remarkably, other receipts saw substantial growth. Overall, the local authority achieved 94% performance in 2022 and 96% in 2023.

4.2 Revenue Collection Challenges 1. Lack of Transport The location of businesses in the district are located in the far places because of the vastness of the district. This requires transport for the collection of revenue to be efficient. The council should have a motor vehicle dedicated for the collection of revenue as it is the mandate of the council to collect revenue in turn to provide services back to the community. 2. Poor road network The road network in the district is poor making it impossible to reach certain areas to enhance revenue collection in the district. The road in the district should be rehabilitated in order for all the places to be reachable and maximise revenue collection 3. Lack of established revenue centres in the respective key areas. Inadequate and abandoned revenue centres in key areas should be opened and revamped to enhance revenue collection for the district. 4. Limited Economic Activity: Kaputa is a rural district with limited economic activity, making it challenging to collect revenue. The district has very few business established in variaous areas of the district making local authority unable to collect 178 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN maximum revenue. A significant portion of the economy in Kaputa is informal, making it difficult to track and collect revenue. 5. Dependence on Central Government Funding: Kaputa, like many rural districts, rely heavily on funding from the central government, which can be unpredictable and unreliable. 6. Limited Revenue Base: The revenue base in Kaputa is limited, making it challenging to collect sufficient revenue to fund local government activities. 7. Inadequate Revenue Collection Systems: Outdated or inefficient revenue collection systems can hinder the ability to effectively collect revenue. The council uses manual revenue collection system which involves physical issuance of the receipt, of which it might bring corruption, under collection and fraud. The council should consider installation of ICT system which will help in enhancing revenue collection efficiency 8. Lack of Public Awareness: Limited public awareness about the importance of paying local taxes, fees, charges, licences and levies can also contribute to challenges in revenue collection. There is need for sensitising the community on the importance of paying levies in order to develop and provide services back to the communities

4.3 Income base for the first five year of the implementation of the plan The estimated revenue for the next five years comes from a variety of sources, including locally generated revenue, grants, constituency development funds, and more. The total projected revenue in 2024 is 60,138,917 Kwacha, and it will grow to 84,584,432 Kwacha by 2029 due to factors like market demand, operational efficiency, and economic conditions. The revenue projection for the district's first five years is shown in the table below 179 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN Table 68: Income projection for the first five years INCOME PROJECTION FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS YEARS 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 S/N Type of Revenue Kwacha Kwacha Kwacha Kwacha Kwacha Kwacha 01 Locally Generated Revenue 1,311,105 1,406,815 1,505,292.51 1,610,663 1,723,409 1,844,048 02 Grant - LGEF 12,991,932 13,940,343 14,916,167.09 15,960,299 17,077,520 18,272,946 12 Constituency Development Fund 30,635,642 32,872,044 35,173,086.89 37,635,203 40,269,667 43,088,544 04 Devolution Support Programme 3,720,000 3,991,560 4,270,969.20 4,569,937 4,889,833 5,232,121 05 Vehicle Licensing 3,742,847 4,016,075 4,297,200.07 4,598,004 4,919,864 5,264,255 06 Veterinary Services 90,294 96,885 103,667.05 110,924 118,688 126,997 07 Transport 238,000 255,374 273,250.18 292,378 312,844 334,743 10 Hospital Services 3,990,260 4,281,549 4,581,257.13 4,901,945 5,245,081 5,612,237 11 Other grants - Community Sports 304,866 327,121 350,019.45 374,521 400,737 428,789 12 GRZ Support towards line Ministries 2,061,900 2,212,419 2,367,288.53 2,532,999 2,710,309 2,900,030 13 Donor Support 1,052,072 1,128,873 1,207,894.38 1,292,447 1,382,918 1,479,723 Grand Total 60,138,917 64,529,058 69,046,092 73,879,319 79,050,871 84,584,432

4.9 STRATEGIES LOCAL AUTHORITY SHOULD IMPLEMENT TO IMPROVE REVENUE COLLECTION The local authority should think of ways to improve revenue collection, such as enforcing budget monitoring and accountability, streamlining licensing procedures, increasing the efficiency of levy collection, diversifying revenue sources (like real estate development), reviewing fees and charges, and strengthening tax compliance through awareness campaigns and penalties. For these methods to be implemented effectively, they must be specifically tailored to the local authority's difficulties and unique circumstances. 182 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

7.0 CONCLUSION In conclusion, this Integrated Development Plan (IDP) of Kaputa District is a ten-year plan aimed at to be used as a principal planning document to guide the development of the district. The plan has brought out the prevailing conditions or situations under the key thematic areas of the plan. The core issues or problems under each thematic area were identified within sectoral analysis under the Planning Survey and Issues Report and these culminated in the analysis of the causes of these issues and also their effects to the residents of Kaputa. This formed part two of the plan document with part one being the introduction of the plan document. The section which formed part three of the document is called the development framework, this section mainly highlighted on the vision of the district which was framed from the core issues that the IDP was to address and the vision for the IDP is “Kaputa to be a prosperous socio-economic and self- sufficient district by the year 2034”. The vision entails that once all core issues or problems are tackled, the district will move in a trajectory of prosperity in terms of its socio-economic status and the district will begin to be self-sufficient and economically independent as levels of production and productivity are expected to rise, the section also contains the goals, objectives, strategies and programs and activities which will be utilized to sort out the core issues or problems identified. The final part of the plan document highlighted the implementation plan which focuses on how the various activities, programs and projects will be financed during the implementation period of the plan, this section further brought out the local authority’s financial plan which detailed estimates of revenue during the implementation period of the IDP and the final part of the section brought out the programme for the development of Local Area Plans (LAPS) and the monitoring and evaluation plan for the implementation of the plan document. Lastly, it is important to note the plan document will be implemented within a period of 10 years but will be after five years, this means the plan expires in 2034. The total cost of the implementation of the plan is ZMW 1, 955,001,366.21 (One Billion, Nine Hundred and Fifty Five Million, One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Six Kwacha .Twenty One Ngwee) 206 KAPUTA DISTRICT INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
