1.0 INTRODUCTION Mazabuka District is located in the Southern Province of Zambia along the Great North Road. It is about 125 km by road from Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia, about 360 km from Livingstone City, the tourist Capital of Zambia and about 160 km from the provincial capital, Choma. As shown in figure 1 below, Mazabuka is situated in the North-Eastern part of the province. To be precise, the latitudinal and longitudinal position of Mazabuka District is 29° and 27° East and 15° and 17° south respectively. Figure 1: Location of Mazabuka in Southern Province Source: Zambia info 2005 release/PCGIS 2005 Mazabuka is one of the thirteen (13) districts in Southern Province. Mazabuka District is constituted of 2 constituencies, 20 wards and 3 chiefdoms. The district is situated in the North-Eastern part of the province, covering an area of approximately 3,830.64 square kilometers. It shares boundaries with Kafue and Shibuyunji Districts to the north, Monze District to the South, Chikankata District to the north-east and Siavonga and Gwembe to its South-east. It is located along the main line of rail and the Great North Road (T1) which run in the north-south direction (Lusaka-Livingstone). Mazabuka town is also accessible by air and water. In addition to the great north road (T1), the district can be accessed using the Chivuna, Lubombo and Itebe roads which are gravel roads. The district is connected to other districts in the province through (T1) the Great North road. Most of the district population is serviced by the three mobile phone network service providers (Zamtel, MTN and Airtel) with more than 90% of urban residents having access to the service. 1|Page Mazabuka, like the rest of Zambia, experiences 3 distinct seasons: Warm and wet (November - April), Cool and dry (May - July) and Hot and dry (August - October). The major geographical features are: Kafue River with its flats and islands, Magoye and Ngwezi rivers. Kafue flats has about 32 islands, the Munali Hills on the eastern side of the district, and the Plateau area of Mazabuka Town. The district has an agricultural based type of economy which is mainly crop and Livestock farming. The District is divided into two (2) Constituencies namely; Mazabuka central and Magoye which have eight (8) and twelve (12) wards respectively (figure 2). In terms of traditional leadership, there are three (3) chiefdoms namely; Mwanachingwala, Hanjalika and Naluama where each of them is headed by a chief and assisted by senior headmen. Below is a map showing the number of wards in Mazabuka district. Figure 2: Mazabuka District wards Source IDP team, 2020 2|Page

1.1 Background Mazabuka District remains committed to embrace the development aspirations as outlined in the revised Seventh National Development Plan. The district endeavors to “accelerate development efforts towards the vision 2030 without leaving anyone behind.” Mazabuka Municipal Council adopted the Integrated Development Planning process following the enactment of the Urban and Regional Planning Act No. 3 of 2015. The district had a paradigm shift, with a move from sector-based planning to an integrated development planning where all actors and stakeholders are involved.

1.2 Integrated Development Plan An Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is the principal strategic planning instrument which gives an overall framework for development within the district and guides and informs planning, budgeting, management and decision-making within the district by all levels of government and actors. The process undertaken to produce the IDP consists of 5 interlinked phases:

1.2.1 Preliminary Step - Preparation of Planning Programme. This included the structures that manages the planning process, the budget for the planning process; public participation procedures; Review of available data sources and the identification of additional data needs; and the time schedule for the planning process.

1.2.2 STEP 1 - Undertaking the Planning Survey and Preparing the Issues Report

1.2.3 STEP 2 – Preparing the Development Framework During this phase, solutions to the issues assessed in step one were found.

1.2.4 STEP 3 - Preparing the Spatial Development Framework During this stage, the overall land use and settlement strategy for the IDP area is determined. Part of the process was to consider the land use and land management implications of all development objectives, strategies and projects.

1.2.5 STEP 4 – Preparing the Implementation Programme The IDP sets out a clear strategy for the implementation of the IDP vision and objectives including a capital investment plan and strategy for monitoring and evaluation.

1.2.6 STEP 5- Approval and Implementation The IDP is presented to the Council for consideration and adoption.

1.3 Area size and Geographical Characteristics Mazabuka District is 3,830.64 square kilometers in size and has three main landscapes, namely; the wetlands, the plateau and the hills. Much of Mazabuka District is on the main plateau where the winter months are cool, in the deep gorges of the Kafue temperatures are invariably higher than on the plateau. In the Kafue valley and gorges, undulating landscape and baobabs are a common feature. Whereas in the center of the district which is mainly plateau only isolated patches of the natural vegetation cover survive 3|Page and most areas are covered with secondary bush. Annual rainfall ranges from 400 to 600 mm in the valley and from 700 to 1,000 mm on the plateau and river plains.

1.4 Settlement Structure The district has two types of settlement patterns comprising of urban and rural. Mazabuka Town stands out to be the main urban settlement in the district due to planned infrastructure consisting of residential and industrial use. The rural settlements are dispersed throughout the district with housing units mainly made up of thatched roofs and clay blocks. These rural settlements are found in customary land which covers much of the district. This type of settlement poses a challenge in the delivery of services such as water supply and sanitation. The Municipal Council established a sub-center for administrative purposes situated in Magoye and other three offices in kabobola, Kaleya and Ndeke. There are three peri-urban centres in rural Mazabuka, Magoye in the south - west and Nega-Nega and Lubombo in the north.

1.5 Natural Environment

1.5.1 Climatic Conditions In general, three seasons can be identified throughout the year: - dry, rainy and cold season. The rainy season stretches from the end of September until the end of April. The district receives an average of 708.3 mm of rainfall per year in this period. It is a medium rainfall area, with the highest rainfall in December and January. However, these have become unpredictable because of the prolonged drought as a result of climate change. The cold and dry season starts in May and ends in July with minimum night temperatures around 7 degrees Celsius. Starting in August until October temperatures rise reaching up to an average of 34 degrees Celsius during the day. The following table shows the average climate data for Mazabuka district taken from Nanga Research Station.

1.5.2 Hydrology The major river system in the District is the lower Kafue, a tributary of the Zambezi River. The lower Kafue catchment includes the Kafue Flats, a part of which is found in the district. The area floods in the rainy season but dries sufficiently in the dry season to provide pasture land for cattle. This behavior of the flood plains to inundate and subside at different times has led to a practice of moving out of the pasture land by the local cattle keepers in the wet season when the area inundates called transhumance (SoE, 2011). The lower Kafue River has two tributaries: Kaleya and Magoye. There are many other smaller streams that either drain into the Kaleya and Magoye or directly into the Kafue. The Ngwezi stream drains into the Magoye. Most of the Kafue River System discharge is from the upper catchment. In the lower part, the inflow from tributaries equals the evaporative losses from the flood plains and reservoirs (Baumle et al, 2007). There are a number of earth dams and dambos dotted in and around the district. The dams are built on streams or dambos and they are used for watering of livestock, irrigation and domestic water supply. 4|Page

1.5.3 Groundwater Resources and Water Supply Mazabuka district has an abundance of water resources found in both surface and ground reservoirs. Despite this, water distribution is variable in both time and space (SoE, 2011). In the Mazabuka State of Environment report of 2011, it is stated that in the period between December and May, there is a lot of water for economic and social needs while the remaining months do not have as much. The northern part of the district has more water resources, i.e. both underground and surface water, than the southern part of the district due to differences in underlying rock formations and natural topography (SoE, 2011). This explains why the water utility company (Southern Water and Sanitation Company) has its boreholes situated in the North-western side of the district and most residents in this area use shallow wells as a source of water supply. The common type of drinking water is provided by individual connections to the water utility mains in the households, followed by communal taps in urban areas and hand-pumps in the rural areas, where groundwater is a major source. Therefore, groundwater is a vital resource for sustaining life in the district. However, Climate change has in the recent past impacted negatively on its availability, where the increase in temperature is limiting the amount of water to replenish it. This also has the potential to affect the quality of the groundwater as well as the socio-economic dynamics around the district from the use of on-site sanitation systems and indiscriminate disposal of waste among others.

1.6 Demographic Profile According to the Central Statistical Office Report of the 2010 census, Mazabuka district had a total population of 171,063 people and an average annual growth rate of about 2.5 % as of the year 2010. The district currently has a total population of 224,448 with a growth rate of 1.2% per annum. The total population therefore is distributed as follows; 94,755 for the Urban area and 102,086 for the rural area. The district total population is expected to grow to 215,908 at annual projected population growth of 1.0% for the first five years (2020-2025) and at 0.9% for the remaining years of the IDP implementation period. Refer to Table 3 for more information on population and growth rate.

1.6.1 Population Characteristics The population in Mazabuka District is continually rising, leading to increased demand for schools, medical facilities and houses. The population increase carries with it an increased number of street children, unemployment, and high demand for land, deforestation and many other problems. This high population can be attributed to the fact that the district is a hive of economic activity mostly because of the sugar plantations at Nakambala sugar estates. There was a decline in annual average population growth rate in the district in 2000 to 2010 inter – censual period from 4% in 2000 to 2.5% in 2010. This is due to migration in search of Employment and Education Table 2: Population Growth rate Census year Population Annual Growth Rate % 2000 Male Female Total 73,219 71,385 144,604 4 2010 85,087 85,976 171,063 2.5 2020 108,919 110,057 218,975 5|Page Source CSO, Report

1.6.2 Population Distribution by Constituency From the 2010 census of population, Mazabuka Central Constituency had a higher population than Magoye Constituency with 99,832 and 71,231 inhabitants respectively. As at the year 2020, the projected population for Mazabuka District was 218,975. Figure 4 below shows the population distribution per constituency.

1.6.3 Population Distribution by Ward Mazabuka district has a total of twenty (20) wards which are represented by councillors except the two newly created wards Mbaya and Siyoowi. According to the 2010 census, Mazabuka Central Ward is the most populated followed by Lubombo ward. Munjile is the least populated with only 2,508 people.

1.6.4 Demographic Analysis This section highlights the population dynamics of Mazabuka District for the projected period of 2010 to 2035 in comparison with the base year 2010 and the current year 2020. The 2010 Census report indicates that the population is projected to grow at an average growth rate of 1.3 throughout the projection period. This section also looks at trends, changes, distribution and compositions of the population in the IDP area during the time of implementation. Mazabuka District is ranked third among the most populated districts in Southern Province with 224,448 people representing 14.5 % of the Provincial Population. Kalomo District was the most populated at 16.3% followed by Choma District at 15.6 % of the provincial population. In 2010, the population of Southern 6|Page Province was 1,589,926 people, it was projected to rise to 2,135,794 by the end of 2020 and nearly double (3,184,855) by 2035. The population distribution by sex in the district was relatively balanced in 2010 with 49.7% being males and 50.3% being females. The projections show that the number of males will be greater than that of females with the ratio being 50.1% males to 49.9% in 2020 and 2030, respectively. Further, the projection indicates that the district will have an even distribution of 50.0% between males and females in 2035.

1.6.4.1 Population projections The population growth rate of 1.3 has been held constant across the populations throughout the projection period (2010 – 2035). Table 4 and figures 6, 7, 8 and 9 depicts the projected population up to the year 2035.

1.6.4.2 Projected Population Table 4 below shows the population projections of Mazabuka District in the projection period. In comparison with the base year (2010), the district population is expected to be 2,975 by the end of 2020 (current year), 291,578 by 2030 and 302,662 by 2035. This implies that the Mazabuka population will have increased by 34,791 in 2020, 60,606 by 2030 and by 71,690 in 2035.

The growth is attributed to the current economic growth as most investors and commercial farmers have ventured into sugar plantation. Mining activities at Munali nickel mine has also continued attracting migrants for employment. 8|Page Mazabuka Population Distribution Structure in the Projected Year 2020 80+ 70 - 74 60 - 64 50 - 54 40 - 44 Female 30 - 34 Male 20 - 24 10 - 14 0-4 -30,000 -20,000 -10,000 0 10,000 20,000 30,000 Figure 5: Mazabuka Population Distribution Structure in 2020 Source: Adapted from CSO (2010; 2012) Age and Sex Structure of Population, Zambia 2020 80+ 70 - 74 60 - 64 50 - 54 40 - 44 Male 30 - 34 Female 20 - 24 10 - 14 0-4 -2,000,000 -1,500,000 -1,000,000-500,000 0 500,000 1,000,0001,500,0002,000,000 Figure 6: Mazabuka Population Distribution Structure in 2020 Source: Adapted from CSO (2010; 2012) Age and Sex Structure of Population, Zambia 2035 80+ 70 - 74 60 - 64 50 - 54 Male 40 - 44 30 - 34 Female 20 - 24 10 - 14 0-4 -2,000,000 -1,500,000 -1,000,000 -500,000 0 500,000 1,000,000 1,500,000 2,000,000 Figure 7: Age and Sex Structure in 2035 Source: Adapted from CSO (2010; 2012) 9|Page CHAPTER TWO- THE PLANNING SURVEY AND ISSUES REPORT

2.0 The Planning Survey and Issues report The Planning Survey and Issues Report established the key issues that define the current situation and problem context for Mazabuka District. It involved public participation with different stakeholders who brought in different innovative ideas that will improve and strengthen service delivering, reduce poverty and ensure the district has a well-planned infrastructure development.

2.1 Governance Governance systems in the district is of three folds, namely traditional leadership, central government and local government. At central government level, The District Commissioner plays a role in overseeing developments in the district and supervises all government departments that are present at district level. The district commissioner is the chair of the district development coordinating committee, which is the main planning and development committee in the district. At local government level, governance is through the Mazabuka Municipal Council. Mazabuka Municipal Council is a statutory body established under the Local Government Act No. 2 of 2019 of the Laws of Zambia. The council is run through an elected body of councilors and management. The Mayor is the political head of the Council elected by the electorates. The Mayor is assisted by the Deputy Mayor who is elected from amongst the councilors. Mazabuka District has a total of eighteen (18) councilors. The Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Councilors play a role equivalent to that of a board. The Chief Executive Officer of the Local Authority is the Town Clerk. Management is comprised of the Town Clerk and Directors; the Directors also include the head of departments from the departments whose functions have been devolved to the Local Authority. In line with the Decentralization Policy, the Ward Development Committees are the sub district structures of governance. Eighteen (18) Ward Development Committees have been established and are fully operational. 10 | P a g e Traditional leadership in the district is composed of two chiefdoms, namely Chief Hanjalika And chief Mwanachingwala The traditional leadership administer land as well as the justice system in accordance with traditional norms in their chiefdoms.

2.2 Solid Waste Management Waste production in the district has tremendously increased, especially in the period from 2010 to 2020. During this period a number of economic activities expanded. The boost in socio-economic activities in the district has led to an increase in the urban population which has increased demand for municipal services which include waste management. Consumption patterns have changed during the last decade resulting in a higher percentage of non-biodegradable waste due to higher consumption of processed foods and use of packaged manufactured goods. Mazabuka Municipal Council (MMC) is responsible for provision of municipal waste management services. It is responsible for waste collection, treatment and disposal. Currently MMC collects waste in 8 of 21 residential areas of the district and 11 markets whilst private companies collect in 4 residential areas. This does not include the Zambia Sugar Estates and mining area at Munali, where waste collection is carried out by private companies. Zambia Sugar generates 34 tons of domestic waste per month; Albidon mine generates 80 tons of domestic waste per year while Munali coffee reuses most of their waste as compost manure for its coffee fields. Due to the increase in waste production, the district has seen private investment in waste collection services, two private firms are involved in the collection of waste in Mazabuka urban area. These firms are H.W who collects from some high cost and medium cost areas and Mbana Health services who collect mainly from Zambia Sugar Estates. The district has a total of three disposal sites located in Zambia Sugar Estates, West villa and Albidon Mine. Activities like waste burning, dumping in pit holes, on streets, into drainage systems or wild dump sites are still common practices in Mazabuka. Littering from homes to the streets is still very common. Disposal in designated places is still insufficiently practiced. While attitude is a problem with the community, the municipality has a challenge of inadequate infrastructure from source to disposal site. Not all residential areas have Transfer Loading Stations (TLS) and bins. Streets and infrastructure are often not laid out for the provision of a satisfying waste collection. Despite the coming in of the private sector in waste management, the service does not match with the demand for collection in the area. Due to the bad roads in some places of the compounds, the initiative has proven ineffective. The amount of waste collected is currently not being weighed and recorded. As such, the amount of waste that has been deposited at the disposal site is unknown. This is likely to pose a challenge in developing an aftercare plan for the site.

2.1.3 Cemeteries There are two cemeteries in Mazabuka namely Namulonga and Muyo Tujaana Cemeteries. The former is a private cemetery where the Asian and European communities bury their dead and the latter is for the rest of the residents and has high and low-cost areas. However, the cemeteries mentioned above are full. Rural communities usually have family cemeteries within their villages or farms.

2.1.4 Safety and Security Services Safety and controlling of criminal activities in the district is the responsibility of the Zambia Police Service with the main Police Station located in the Central Business District along Livingstone road. Police posts are also located in Nanga, ZIAH, Zambia Sugar, Mubuyu Farms, Nega-Nega and Magoye. Where prosecution is required, offenders have to be charged by the police and handed over to the Court for prosecution. There is a Local and Subordinate Court in the district where cases are handled. High Court sessions are done bi-annually by the Provincial judge for the Livingstone High Court. The Prisons Department is responsible for the custody of offenders who are put on trial prosecuted and sentenced. The prison cells are located adjacent to the Police Station and there is also an open-air prison in Nega- Nega. The major challenge from the Prisons Department is slow hearing of cases and congestion in prisons. There are only two cells at the main prison, each cell is supposed to accommodate 30 inmates but accommodates 110. It is therefore difficult to control infectious diseases, provide adequate tap water and maintain a clean environment for the inmates. The Immigration Department also plays a critical role in security of the district. Its main responsibility is to issue permits to immigrants coming into the country 12 | P a g e for various purposes, be it work related visits or for holidays. They also carry out patrols for illegal immigrants and work with the Police Service to deport illegal immigrants.

2.1.5 Settlements, Land use and housing

2.1.5.1 Land Use Land in Mazabuka is mainly used for residential, agriculture, commercial and mining purposes. Mazabuka has for a long time been an agricultural area. The land use patterns are as shown in figure 10 below. Figure 8: Land use patterns Source: IDP Team, 2020 Mazabuka urban area is generally built up out of three Land uses: residential, industrial and commercial. The commercial area being the centre of the town and the rest of town located around it. The high-density residential areas are located in the northern direction, making up for most of the housing stock, and the low-density residential areas in south-eastern direction. The town centre is mainly built up from three parallel roads, in which large buildings such as the Shoprite Supermarket and the Galaba house are 13 | P a g e identification points. Most buildings in Mazabuka urban are at ground level and roofed with iron sheets, with the exception of few buildings which are two stories high. The buildings are built up from cement blocks, while in unplanned settlements buildings are made from mud blocks. Mazabuka Rural on the other hand is characterised by sparsely populated communities, which are predominantly farming areas. i) Industrial Land use The industrial area is along the Great North road about one (1) kilometre from the central business district. In total it covers about 35 hectares. Zambia Sugar Factory covers much of the industrial area. ii) Commercial Land use The town centre is the centre of commercial activities and covers about 55 hectares. In essence there are two big supermarkets, some small shops and shopping centres, five fuel/gas stations, four banks, town market, post office, some internet cafes, bars and two music clubs. The town centre hosts most of the government offices. Most buildings in the town centre area are fairly maintained. iii) Residential Land use There are about 25 residential areas that make up the urban area of Mazabuka, 6 are sub-urban (the townships in the Sugar Estates and Kaleya siding). The townships in the Sugar Estates are not the responsibility of the Council in terms of service provision, however these are dependent on the town centre for social and economic reasons. The Council is however responsible for service delivery for Kaleya siding, which is an informal settlement. The residential areas can be divided in four different categories: high-cost, medium-cost, low-cost and informal settlements. There are four high cost areas and three informal settlements. Most residential areas are a mix of high, medium and low cost with the concentration on low and medium cost. The three informal settlements are referred to as Ndeke compound (although Ndeke has parts which are not illegal but actually planned for) adjacent to the Sugar Estate, Changa-Changa at a private farm, and the smaller Matente settlement near and around the showground’s and therefore also referred to as showgrounds. The informal settlements mostly cater for informal traders and people working at the sugar estates. As there are more and more people trying to find work at the sugar estates and in town, the informal settlements are increasing rapidly. The unemployment numbers are high. The Council has just recently opened up some residential areas which are partially built up: West Villa, East Villa, Hillside, Riverview and Plan 2000. iv). Agricultural Land Use Agricultural expansion has significantly increased due to increase in irrigation activities with the growth of Zambia Sugar cane growing and Cane Growers’ Trust. The rural part of the district remains predominately agriculture. V) Mining The district has some mining activities taking place which include small scale and large scale mining. Large scale mining includes Nickel mining in Nega-Nega by Mabiza Mining Resources, limestone mining by Turtle 14 | P a g e in Chivuna area. Small scale mining includes illegal sand mining along Magoye River, quarrying by China State Corporation in Kapinga. The large scale mining activities gained recognition in the period 2004-2007 with the opening of the Munali Nickel Mine. Prior to the Nickel Mine, areas like Kapona in Magoye have been growing as small-scale sand mining sites

2.1.5.2 Housing Most housing in Mazabuka is built up from cement blocks and iron sheets are used as roofing materials. Most houses are only built at ground level with a garden and a fence. There are few flats in the district. In the informal and rural settlements most houses are built up from mud bricks and have grass thatched roofs. Like most parts of the country Mazabuka districts faces a housing back log. The majority of the existing housing stock in Mazabuka urban was in public ownership through the Council, with a small portion as Government housing for civil servants. Therefore, most of the occupants were tenants with management and maintenance of the housing stock largely the responsibility of the Local Authority. However most of the public housing was sold to sitting tenants. At the moment there is an increase in demand for land and houses. As a result, private plots are being sold at high prices and rents are increasing. In addition, there is a trend of increasing densities in most residential areas as several buildings are illegally erected at one plot. Open spaces are used for residential functions; changing the nature of the intended use. Another trend is that houses are split in two such that two households can share the same house, as is general practice in the residential areas such as Kabobola. With most land held on title and customary tenure, the Council has limited land to open up new areas for housing development. However private initiatives are taking place as some farmers are selling out land to private developers at market value. The number of households on title deeds in Mazabuka remains low, as most residential areas are not surveyed.

2.2 Enhancing Human Development

2.2.1 Entertainment, Sports and Recreation Mazabuka district has an array of recreation places and activities, in the urban center. These include golfing, polo, squash, tennis, boxing, netball and football. In the rural parts, football, athletics and netball are common. It is important to note that some sporting facilities are limited to clubs which are for golf, football, polo and tennis. Membership to these clubs is also restrictive as a fee is charged for annual membership. Therefore, only those who can afford to pay access these sport and recreation facilities. Other clubs such as the Country Club (which provided play facilities for children) were semi accessible to the public but have since been closed as they are run down. Economically disadvantaged people do not have access to sporting and recreational facilities, as they cannot afford the costs that come with membership. The majority of residents seeking sports facilities have access to undeveloped open spaces usually located in schools. In other instances most entertainment centers are nightclubs and pubs which are not youth-friendly as they sell alcohol. 15 | P a g e

2.2.2 Community Centres Mazabuka has three community centers namely Lusumpuko Hall, Nakambala Community Hall and Kaleya Community Centre. These are inadequate as they do not cater for all the 119 communities that the Municipality oversees. Lusumpuko Hall is mainly hired out for community functions. The hall is currently in a dilapidated state and requires renovations.

2.2.3 Education Sector Mazabuka District Education Board has a total of 125 institutions of learning comprising 4 grant aided secondary,5 GRZ, 9 private secondaries,12 combined schools, 60 primary, 14 community, 21 private primary and 1 skills training centre. With the current pupil population of 52,771 in year 2020 the facilities remain limited as some learners are unable to access the facilities within the recommended 5 kilometers or less. The district is divided in 11 zones namely: Nkonkola, Chivuna, Munjile, Kaleya, Munenga, Sikalozia, Mugoto, Nanga, Ndeke, Kaonga and Magoye. There are 58 Early Childhood Education centers (ECE) established out of existing 86 government and community schools. However, for most of them there is need to set up proper infrastructure e.g. play areas and classrooms. Mazabuka District has a combined pupil population of 52,771 (25682 male and 27089 female) as compared to 105, 401 eligible learners in the district as at 2020, (ASC data, 2019). The district has 1,761 primary and secondary school teachers. This would entail a pupil teacher ratio of 1:30, with most teachers in schools located in the urban centres. There is a smaller number of Secondary schools (30) as compared to Primary and community schools (95) which forces pupils to compete for limited places at grade 8. This means out of 5124 grade 7 pupils 3737 proceed to grade 8 representing 72.9% progression rate leaving out 27.10% out of the system, (ASC data, 2019). The grade nine enrollments for 2019 totaled 2029 as compared to 1780 grade ten places available in thirty (30) secondary and combined schools. This means that 87.7%of grade nine pupils can progress to secondary school within the district leaving out 12.30 %. (ASC data, 2019) The progressing rates at both grades 8 and 9 have improved in 2020 because of the addition of seven (7) more combined schools and private secondary schools. (ASC data, 2019). The limited number of spaces leads to overcrowding in classrooms and shortage of essential learning materials. The district lacks adequate tertiary education except for Zambia College of Agriculture and a skills college ran by catholic brothers. 16 | P a g e Figure 9: Distribution of Schools in the District Source: IDP Team, 2020

2.2.3.1 Quality of service including key indicators of performance Provision of relevant teaching and learning materials (TLM) is key to the improvement of learning in schools e.g. the pupil textbook ratio low enough to allow for proper learning to take place e.g. Most of the schools in the district have a high pupil/textbook ratio with an average of 1:8 (1 book to 8 pupils) as compared to the recommended 1:1 ratio. (ASC data, 2019) Inadequate qualified teaching staff in most rural schools compared to urban schools is a hindrance to delivery of quality education which averages at 1:50 in rural schools to 1: 30 in urban areas (1 teacher to 50/30) as compared to the recommended (1:45 n primary schools and 1:40 in secondary schools). (ASC data, 2019). The causes of this situation are many and varied but the major ones are low recruitment levels and lack of basic amenities like staff accommodation (1:30) piped water and electricity. This leads to most of the teachers, especially females, to drift to urban schools which are mostly overstaffed. Inadequate classroom space especially at ECE and Secondary school level and in urban schools leads to overcrowding and poor performance because of the high pupil/classroom ratio which averages 1:51(1 room to 51 pupils) (ASC data, 2019) 17 | P a g e The low literacy levels at grades 1-4 i.e. reading and numeracy, are a hindrance to learning in most schools in the district e.g. in 2020 those who could read and numerate were at 58% compared to 47% in 2019 representing an increase of 11% but still more needs to be done. (District standardized literacy assessments for 2019/2020.) Lack of power in a number of schools in the district is another hindrance to education i.e. 65 government and mission schools out of 95 are currently connected to the national grid leaving a total of 30 still needing electricity. Additionally a big number of schools (66) are still using pit latrines out of a total of 95.Only a total of 30 have some form of waterborne toilets. This tends to compromise hygiene and there is always a danger of breakout of communicable diseases in the schools (ASC data, 2019)

2.2.3.2 Availability of the Education Service I. Lack of electrification and poor road access to institutions. Most rural schools have no access to electricity. II. Lack of clean water and poor sanitation i.e. most rural schools still relying on unsafe pit latrines. III. Long distances between schools in rural schools leading to lack of access especially to children in lower grades who may be too young to cover long distances. IV. Lack of boarding or weekly boarding facilities for children covering long distances to schools.

2.2.3.3 Impact of Changes Anticipated Over the Next Ten Years The population range between 0 to 19 years is expected to increase by 1.2% and therefore create steep demand for school amenities like infrastructure and man power to run the institutions e.g. population trends show that wards like Mazabuka central, Chivuna and Lubombo will require more schools to carter for the rapidly increasing populations over the next decade. I. The increase in the population below 6 years will entail the establishment of ECE centers in all primary schools which will require classrooms, outdoor infrastructure and trained teachers. II. The increased number of children between the ages of 13 and 18 will mean the need to construct more classrooms and specialized rooms e.g. laboratories, workshops, computer rooms and recruitment and deployment of qualified teachers in secondary and combined schools. III. The school leavers will require tertiary education and hence the need to establish relevant colleges to train people for the requirements of the industries anticipated to be created over the next decade 18 | P a g e Table 5: Existing and Proposed Development Programmes DEVELOPMENT PROPOSED SN EXISTING ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME (2021-2030) 1 Classrooms 772 Currently the District pupil-average classroom capacity is 100 50 of which the recommended classroom capacity is 40. 2 Staff houses 486 Currently the District has 1716 teachers to be 100 accommodated. 3 Water borne 662 800 toilets(pans) 4 Science 26 The District has 30 secondary school which each 24 laboratories require 3 laboratories. 5 Computer 27 The District has 125 schools which each require 1 34 laboratories laboratory. 6 Workshops 12 The District has 30 secondary school which each 24 require 2 workshops. 7 HE rooms 26 The District has 30 secondary schools which each 62 requires 1 HE room. 9 Hand pump 74 All rural schools with unequipped boreholes require hand 8 boreholes pumps. 10 Mechanized 5 All rural schools without running water requires 60 boreholes(piped) mechanization. 11 Dormitories 24 30 12 Double seater 11480 52117 pupil population requires desks 5000 desks 13 single seater 3812 52117 pupil population requires desks 1500 desks 14 Libraries 64 The District has 125 schools which each requires 1 40 library Source: District Education Office, Mazabuka, 2020

2.2.3.4 The Impact of Continuation of Existing Trends on Land Use The increasing population and the subsequent rise in demand for land for growing of food crops and grazing will increasingly put pressure on land available for learning institutions e.g. the creation of Munenga secondary school in Munenga ward has given rise to conflict with people who have settled near the school. There also a number of cases of encroachment of school land where people have settled within the school boundaries in order to take advantage of amenities like water provided by the schools. This in most cases creates conflict between the schools and the communities as a result of the rising demand for resources available e.g. in Kalama and Munenga wards where livestock and humans compete for water resources especially in times of draught. 19 | P a g e

2.2.3.5 Environment and Climate Change on Education Continued unmitigated destruction of trees for energy and agriculture will lead to frequency of extreme weather conditions like draughts, floods and strong winds. The change of climate will mean reduced food and water and destruction of buildings resulting from increased wind speeds and frequent floods which in turn will affect access to education for most children as a result of absenteeism.

2.2.3.6 The Impact of the Environment and Climate Change Issues on each Sector Due to hunger in the area, school attendance by most children was affected as the pupils preferred helping their parents to look for roots and fruits in the bush. Despite some schools having school feeding programs, some children were finding it difficult to walk long distances on empty stomachs to attend lessons. Further, school attendance was compounded by absenteeism as a result of having no access to schools as shores were cut off as a result of flash floods, crossing points washed out and full rivers in the peak rainfall months of January and February. The frequency and increasing strength of winds due to climate change has led to damage to school infrastructure and disturbance to learning activities. Since 2015 a total of 7 staff houses and 10 classrooms have been damaged and need extensive repairs (ASC data, 2016). There is therefore a need to improve the structure of the buildings by using stronger materials like steel.

2.2.3.7 Issues Arising Relating to Gender and Vulnerable Groups in the Education sector The learning institutions have a combined figure of 5562 Orphans and Vulnerable Children representing 10.54% of the total pupil population in the district (ASC data, 2019). While enrollment levels at primary and secondary level for girls show an upward trend, there is a worrying general decline in the number of male pupils over the years e.g. the current (2020) enrollments are 27089 female and 25682 males i.e. 1407 or 2.7% more girls issues arising relating to gender and vulnerable groups. Primary education in Mazabuka has recently seen an increase of the enrolment rate for girls to the extent that the number of girls in primary education slightly exceeds that of boys at present. However, the number of girl dropouts increases with higher grades and the net enrolment ratio for boys in the 10th through 12th grade is much higher than that for girls. The dropout ratio for girls begins to increase around the sixth grade and is double the ratio for boys in the 7th grade. This trend continues to the 12th grade. Although financial difficulty is the principal reason given for dropping-out overall, pregnancy is the overwhelming reason for girls. Men account for about 70% of the overall labour force in Mazabuka (ASC data, 2019)

2.2.3.8 Consideration of Underlying Factors Contributing to Issues Identified i. Long held cultural beliefs that girls are meant for marriage ii. Increasing populations resulting in strong competition for land for agriculture resulting in land disputes with institutions of learning. iii. Destruction of the environment leading to climate change and extreme weather conditions e.g. frequent floods and strong winds disrupting learning through damage to infrastructure and shortage of food. iv. Increased disease burden leading to high absenteeism and increasing OVC. v. Poor school management practices leading to under performance in most institution. 20 | P a g e

2.2.4 Health Sector Government provides preventive, curative and rehabilitative health service to the communities of Mazabuka District. Among the main challenges that the population in Mazabuka faces is access to health services. To address this challenge, government has over the last few years embarked on construction of additional health facilities in the district. Apart from health facilities that have been constructed with support under the Constituency Development Funds, government has, since the year 2016, six (6) prefabricated health posts have been constructed and operationalized. These are Chalimbana, Lungwee (no borehole), Shimungalu (no borehole), Sheembwe (no borehole), Siyowi (no borehole), and Mabanga). However, Shimungalu, Sheembwe, and Siyowi Health Posts currently do not have borehole water supply. Additionally, a number of health posts have been constructed under CDF. The district runs the Moderate Acute Malnutrition program (MAM) aimed at improving the nutrition status of underweight children in the district.

There are five (5) Zonal Health Centers, namely Mbayamusuma, Nakambala, Magoye, Nega-Nega, and Chivuna zones whose roles are mainly to provide primary health services such as maternal and neonatal wellbeing, Technical Support and Supervision, ART and clinical mentorship to the satellite facilities. They also act as referral centers to other smaller facilities. There is no first level (District hospital), but there is one 2nd level (General hospital) and 2 Private Hospitals namely Zambia Sugar and Victoria Hospitals. The District has 46 HTCT sites, and, seven static Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) sites. The district has Seven (7) TB diagnostic sites, and one General Hospital providing radiology, physiotherapy, dental, laboratory mental health and surgical services. Figure 10 shows the distribution of health facilities in the district and an analysis of health services against the distances in the district. 21 | P a g e Figure 10: Distribution of health facilities in the District Source IDP team, 2020

2.2.4.1 Availability of the Service i) Second (2nd ) Level Referral Hospital Diagnosis and treating referred patients from the Rural Health Centres, referring complicated cases to 3rd level hospitals, laboratory services, X-ray services, Prevention of Mother to Child transmission of HIV/AIDS, Male circumcision (MC), Anti-Retroviral Clinics, dental and eye clinics, surgical and obstetric services as well as mortuary services. There is only one second Level Referral Hospital in the District, with no first level referral. ii) Rural Health Centre/Health Posts Services provided include diagnosis and treatment of patients, referring complicated cases to the General Hospital, health education, providing maternal and child health services (REC strategy) and conducting environmental health services. They also provide Prevention of Mother to Child transmission of HIV/AIDS, HIV Counseling and Testing, outreach activities which includes community sensitization and school health services. 22 | P a g e iii) Community level Neighborhood Health Committee (NHC), Safe Motherhood Action Groups (SMAGs), Community Health Workers (CHWs), trained Traditional Birth Attendants (tTBAs), the Community Health Assistants (CHA), TB DOTs and community-based malaria agents providing preventive and promotive primary health care services such as identification of health problems, health education, first aid treatment, referral of complicated cases to RHCs, ZEIR program, diagnosing and treatment of simple malaria with the use of RDT and ACTs, promoting and selling of insecticides treated nets (ITNs) distribution of Chlorine etc.

2.2.4.2 Quality of the Service and Key Indicators of Performance The Department of Health in Mazabuka is committed to providing cost effective and quality health services as close to the family as possible. In this vein, quality assessment and assurance activities are usually conducted on a routine basis. The DHO runs a Service Quality Assessment tool aimed at assessing compliance to standard guidelines for service provision. Table 2.3. Key performance indicators Indicator 2017 2018 2019 Target Achieved Target Achieved Target Achieved % under one year children fully 7524 7303 7608 7701 7793 6827 (88%) immunized (0-11 months) -99% -95% 8371 % BCG coverage 7608 7619 (99%) 9530 7793 7511(96%) -88% 6415 5891 % new family planning acceptors 23781 25 413 29147 4965 (17%) -27% -25% % pregnant women who received 7812 10271 8296 (81%) 10396 10521 7920(75%) ANC 1st -75% % pregnant women who received 3664 8296 3736 (45%) 7812 10521 6221 (59%) focused ANC -47% 6583 6227 Delivered by skilled provider 10111 10011 10131 5672(60%) -65% -62% % of pregnancy complications 0 0 0 0 treated at B-EmONC facilities % of women attending postnatal 10819 6793 6795 (100%) 10011 6011 6828 (114%) care visit within 6 days and 6 weeks -108 % infants born to HIV + mothers 665 1339 1327 (97%) 665 527 683 (130%) receiving cotrimoxazole prophylaxis -100% Source: DHIS2 The quality of service provision in many sectors around the district deserves much to be desired. Arguably, all sectors or pillars other than people being of the good health at the time of coming up with this plan, the quality of service, therefore, need to be improved.

2.2.4.3 Issues Arising from Public Participation The public participation revealed the need to upgrade Kaonga Urban Clinic into a Level 1 District Hospital and upgrade most of the rural health centers

2.2.4.4 Impact of Changes Anticipated Over the Next Ten Years The district has a diverse population that needs special strategies to meet various health problems. These include groups such as contractors, mine workers and unskilled seasonal workers. The seasonal workers form a large group of the workforce and cut cane on various sugar plantations in Mazabuka district, of which the largest group lives in town (Ndeke, Kaleya siding). These workers come mainly from the Western Province and stay for a period of about 10 months, without their families. They are prone to contracting 23 | P a g e Sexually Transmitted Infections and bilharzia due to the nature of their work and poor living conditions. Commercial farm workers who live in highly congested conditions with poor sanitation and accommodation are also a unique group of the district population. Incidence of disease is high in these communities as some farms do not have health posts on their grounds. Marshland and island populations along the Kafue River are also at high risk of disease contraction as they are mainly involved in fishing and fish marketing. Cholera and diarrhoea outbreaks are common in this population. Hard to reach populations in Chikani, Cheeba, Namaila, the islands on the Kafue River and Itebe fall in the same risk category (Mazabuka DHMT, Action Plan 2005-2007, p. 3,2006). The population in Mazabuka District is continually rising, leading to increased demand for schools, medical facilities and houses. The population increase carries with it an increased number of street children, unemployment, and high demand for land, deforestation and many other problems. This high population can be attributed to the fact that the district is a hive of economic activity mostly because of the sugar plantations at Nakambala sugar estates. Improvements in living standards due to economic growth have also led to improvements in the health of the population in general, as they have more of things such as food, shelter and clothing that can enable the people to live longer. This is because, poverty, through child malnourishment and mortality, has an adverse effect on life expectancy. Education can also have a positive impact on health as well. Generally, change in development is good for the welfare of an economy. However, it also tends to create both winners and losers. There are negative effects. These negative effects out rightly, might not outweigh the positive effects but it suffices to say that within the realm of anticipated change, there could be deforestation, displacement of people, increased pollution, creative destruction, natural social tension, health challenges, increase in income inequality.

2.2.4.5 Existing and Proposed Investment Programmes Currently, the district has forty-six (46) health facilities. There is need to expand infrastructure for health by building additional health centers and health posts.

2.2.4.6 The Impact of the Environment and Climate Change Issues on each Sector Some of the Rural Health Centres in the district had stopped admitting patients because they had no food rations to feed them and access was cut due to flash floods or crossing points being washed away. This resulted in villagers covering long distances to access health services to other health centres which had enough food stocks.

2.2.5 Water Resources Development The department is part of the Ministry of Water Development, Sanitation and Environmental Protection. It is responsible for the development and implementation of policies, programmes and projects on water resources in order to ensure its sustainable utilization.Specifically, the Department facilitates development of policies related to water resources development and management and to execute five (5) national programmes to improve water security and ensure increased access to water for various uses, namely: Small Dams Development Programme, Groundwater Exploration and Well-field Development Programme, Medium to Large Dams Development Programme, Water Transfer Development Programme, 24 | P a g e and Trans-boundary Water Development and Management Programme. Some of the specific functions includes the following; i. Formulating and reviewing water resources development strategy and action plans in order to facilitate resource mobilization and attainment of set objectives; ii. Conducting exploratory research and surveys on the availability of water resources in order to facilitate their development; iii. Providing technical guidance and support to stakeholder institutions on matters relating to water resources development in order to ensure effective utilization; iv. Collaborating with Stakeholders in planning and implementation of water resources development programmes in order to ensure a harmonized approach to programme execution; v. Conduct research on water development related issues in order to facilitate evidence-based planning and decision making; vi. Maintain a comprehensive geo-spatial database on dams and exploratory boreholes in order to facilitate storage and retrieval of information for decision making; vii. Developing and implementing programmes on trans-boundary waters in order to foster international and regional cooperation on their utilization; The department has a number of strategies that it engages in carrying out its various mandates, it commits to water resources development by improving on the following areas: increasing national water storage capacity through construction of small and large dams; local and trans-boundary aquifer development and management; and development and management of inter-basin water transfer schemes. Some of the strategies is to increase national water security, and improved local and transboundary aquifer management. The department commits to improving national water security in order to ensure water resource availability for various socio-economic uses such as agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, hydropower and water supply and sanitation. This will be attained through developing and implementing a programme to enhance rain water harvesting, and up scaling of the implementation of water resource development projects such as multipurpose small and large dams, well field development and water transfer schemes. These will be undertaken both locally and within the context of international water resources development.

2.2.5.1 Improved local and Transboundary Aquifer Management Strengthen mechanism for local and trans-boundary aquifer management within the micro- catchments of Kaleya and Magoye. The strategy is to identify the number of local aquifers in the Magoye and Kaleya micro- catchments which stretches from Chikankata to Pemba districts. Ultimately the percentage of local aquifers identified and mapped. The department provides a number of services to the community of Mazabuka District; (i) Conducting geophysical survey of groundwater resources. (ii) Conduct exploratory research and surveys on the availability of water resources in order. To facilitate their development. (iii) Dam feasibility studies and assessments. (iv) Construct, rehabilitate and maintain water resources infrastructure in order to harness water resources for use. (v) Offering technical advice to 30 dam committees within Mazabuka District. (vi) Provide technical guidance and support to stakeholder institutions on matters relating to water resources development in order to ensure effective utilization of the resource. (vii) Policy guidance on water resources management and development. (viii) Facilitate the development and review of policies and legislation on water in order to provide an appropriate framework for the effective management and implementation of programmes

2.2.5.2 Quality of the Service and Key Performance Indicators The service could be improved when the financing for water resources development and water supply and sanitation including Environmental Management are improved. Some key indicators of performance are; i. Number of dams constructed ii. Number of dams rehabilitated iii. % of local aquifers identified and mapped

2.2.5.3 Issues Arising from Public Participation There is need to construct water harvesting infrastructure such as dams as there is an increase in water demand for socio-economic activities.

2.2.5.4 Quality of service including key indicators of performance Quality may be assessed on the number of dams constructed, number of dams rehabilitated and number of rains harvesting infrastructure constructed. 26 | P a g e

2.2.5.5 Existing and Proposed Investment Programmes i. Construction of multipurpose small and medium to large dams ii. Transboundary water development and management iii. Integrated water resources management (IWRM) iv. Climate proofed water resources infrastructure rehabilitation

2.2.5.6 Environment and Climate Change Analysis i. Non- compliance to environmental regulations ii. Habitat loss and degradation

2.2.5.7 The Impact of the Existing Trends on the Environment and Climate Change i. Water scarcity due to a reduction in the amount of rainfall ii. Inadequate mainstreaming of climate change in water development, sanitation and environmental programmes

2.2.6 Rural Water Supply Mazabuka district has a large number of its population in the rural area where the most reliable source of water is groundwater that is accessed through boreholes and hand dug wells. On average 200 people use either of the two types. The standard water use ratio for Borehole is 1:250 and Hand dug well is 1:150. With this the rural water supply situation at the moment stands at 1:242. There are a combined total of 963 boreholes and hand dug wells against a rural population of 233 331. The district is assessing the distribution of the water points and will work on any imbalances that may be found. In terms of access to clean and safe drinking water, the Mazabuka local authority together with the District Water Sanitation, Health and Education (D-WASHE) committee have two major problems: Constructing new water supply facilities and maintaining existing ones. Maintenance of already constructed water supply facilities is critical in increasing access to safe water in the rural areas. In an attempt to achieve this, the District is using the SOMAP (Sustainable, operation and maintenance programme) model adopted by ministry of local government and rural development under the National Rural Water Supply and sanitation programme. 27 | P a g e Figure 11: Distribution of water points in the District Source IDP team, 2020

2.2.6.1 Availability of the Rural Water Supply Service The Rural Water supply and sanitation program under Mazabuka Municipal Council together with institutions whose mandate have a bearing on water and sanitation, collectively known as D-WASHE committee are the ones responsible for water supply provision in the rural communities. Mazabuka district is using the Sustainable, operation and maintenance programme (SOMAP) model adopted by ministry of local government and rural development under the National Rural Water Supply and sanitation programme. The main objective of SOMAP is to reduce down time (time between breakdown and repair) of hand pumps in rural areas so that people can have access to safe drinking water. This is coupled with a community based model in the case of maintaining the water facilities.

2.2.6.2 Quality of service including key indicators of performance The ratio of water supply accessibility in the rural communities is one borehole servicing 242 people (1:242), this can be rated as being good compared to the recommended 1: 250 ratio by the National Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Programme. However, this good ratio is impeded by lack of sustainability of the water facilities, in terms of maintenance which calls for a robust maintenance program so as to 28 | P a g e continue providing an access to clean and safe water leading to achieving its key indicators of performance.

2.2.6.3 Impact of Changes Anticipated Over the Next Ten Years The overall future population projections for Mazabuka district is that there is going to be an average growth rate of about 2.5% (Central Statistical Office, 2010) for both urban and rural areas. With this change, the demand for water supply will also increase to meet the need for drinking water and to sustain good hygiene practices. This will be exacerbated by the impacts and effects of climate change where water resources will be unavailable in most areas of the district due to increase in temperatures. This scenario will call for a need to build capacity in the community through skills development, adaptation strategies and income generating activities to achieve sustainability through carrying out repairs on dysfunctional water points and enhancement of the SOMAP model approach. Furthermore, mapping of the aquifer in the district will also be undertaken so as to understand the distribution of the groundwater which is the major source of water in rural Mazabuka.

2.2.6.4 The impact of the continuation of existing trends on land use and population distribution pattern The increase in the demand for water supply will cause some inter and intra ward movements within the district in search of the resource. It is foreseen that an influx of people will be seen around areas that will have a consistent availability of water supply for livestock and crop farming activities. Therefore the population pattern will be clustered around water points which in turn will have an impact on the land as there is likelihood of overgrazing leading to land degradation.

2.2.6.5 The Impact of Existing trends on the Environment and Climate Change Most water points (Streams and shallow wells) dried up affecting mostly animals and this forced herder walk long distances in search of the commodity at selected boreholes in the area. This resulted in animals dying in the field due to lack of water and pasture for grazing. Some animals were left malnourished due to drought. In response to these impacts, Mazabuka is working to develop sustainable and appropriate programmes for both crops and livestock in the face of climate change. Some of Mazabuka's adaptation measures include: promotion of irrigation and efficient use of water resources with the help of SCRIKA which has helped with the drilling of solar panelled boreholes in some parts of Mazabuka, strengthening early warning systems and preparedness. Other measures to be taken to combat climate change include; tree planting on the depleted forests sites and Schools, promoting community participation and enforcement of a ban to curb illegal logging, charcoal burning and harvesting of indigenous forests. All stakeholders will be sensitized to put proper and sustainable environmental conservation measures in place so as to make the District environmentally clean.

2.2.6.6 The impact of environmental and climate change issues on the sector The major impact on the rural water sector would be a reduction In the amount of water due to reduced rainfall in most parts of the district and an increase in temperature resulting in high rates of evapotranspiration. In response to these impacts, Mazabuka is working to develop sustainable and appropriate programmes for both crops and livestock sustainability. Some of Mazabuka's adaptation 29 | P a g e measures include: promotion of irrigation and efficient use of water resources with the help of Strengthening Climate Resilience in the Kafue sub- basin (SCRIKA) project whose objective is to make sure that resilience is built within the district in the face of climate change. One such activity within the project has been drilling of boreholes equipped with solar panels to ensure the availability of water throughout the year for various socio-economic programmes.

2.2.6.7 Issues Arising Relating To Gender Groups and Vulnerable Groups In Each Sector There is a prevailing idea of gender inequality in Mazabuka based on deep-rooted social and cultural norms. Women are the major users of the water but when it comes to decision making regarding water supply, they are usually marginalised at household level and community at large. In certain instances vulnerable groups such as the differently abled, have challenges in assessing the resource due to structural designs of water facilities.

2.2.6.8 Gender Mainstreaming in Water Resources Development There is inadequate representation of marginalized groups such as the women and differently abled people in the development and management of water resources programmes.

2.2.6.9 Structural design in water infrastructure to encompass differently abled people There is a prevailing idea of gender inequality in Mazabuka based on deep-rooted social and cultural norms. One crucial reason for the fixated idea of gender inequality is the fact that the Zambian Constitution (enacted in 1991 and revised in 1996) endorses customary law in addition to men’s partiality against women and lack of knowledge on women’s rights among the general public. At the policy level, however, steady improvements towards gender equality have been made. In 2012, the Gender Office as part of the Cabinet Office became the independent Ministry of Gender (initially started as the Ministry of Gender and Child Development and later changed to the present name following organizational reform in October, 2015). The Anti-Gender Based Violence Act and National Gender Policy were introduced in 2011 and 2014 respectively. In terms of the participation of women in politics, a female member of parliament for Mazabuka district has been playing an important role in the government’s decision-making. However, the overall participation of women in decision-making in the district is rather limited compared to neighbouring districts as the proportion of female councillors’ representation is zero.

2.2.6.10 Consideration of Underlying Factors Contributing To Issues Identified The rural water sector under Mazabuka Municipal Council (MMC) has a number of dysfunctional boreholes which can be attributed to the lack of commitment from the water point in the sustainability of the facilities. The community based approach for the management of these water points entails that the people being serviced by a certain facility should be able to contribute user fees which will in turn be used in the maintenance and operational costs. However, this ideal scenario is devoid in most of these water points in the rural communities.

2.2.7 Urban Water Supply Water supply and sanitation service provision in urban and peri-urban Mazabuka District involves a number of stakeholders whose primary responsibility rests with Mazabuka Municipal Council, and its commercial utility, the Southern Water and Sanitation Company Limited (SWSC). 30 | P a g e The Municipal Council and Ministry of Water Development, Sanitation and Environmental Protection remain involved as shareholders who oversee the company, and also have the responsibility for resource mobilization, so that the infrastructure can be expanded and updated. To ensure SWSC does not provide poor services, or over price its service provision, the 1997 Water Act mandates the National Water Supply and Sanitation Council to ensure the utility operates effectively by regulating its standards and operations. They also have the authority to approve or reject tariffs that the utility may wish to implement. The type of sanitation methods being practiced in Mazabuka, Nega-Nega and Magoye is predominantly on-site consisting of septic tanks/soakaway and pit latrines which are safely managed. 74% of the households with water connections to SWSC have improved on-site sanitation, while 16% are using un- improved on-site sanitation. Only 10% households mainly from Nakambala and Mulonga compounds are serviced with off-site sanitation. Figure 12: Mulonga Oxidation Ponds The sewerage systems and the treatment ponds for both compounds are very old and dilapidated. They have not been rehabilitated from the time they were constructed. The flat terrain in Mazabuka has made it difficult to attain the required slopes for the self-cleansing velocity in the pipes resulting in very little effluent reaching the ponds and no effluent being discharged into the environment.

2.2.7.1 Availability of the Service (i)Water Supply and Sanitation Service Mazabuka town water is supplied with surface water bought by SWSC from Zambia Sugar Company. The raw water is pumped from the Kafue River through Zambia Sugar Irrigation system and an average of 6,500m3/day is eventually supplied to Mazabuka Water Treatment Plant. The surface water from Zambia Sugar Company is also supplemented by a system of 10 boreholes drilled in various parts of Mazabuka Town where 2,000m3/day is abstracted. 160m3/day is also abstracted from 31 | P a g e 1 borehole in Nega-Nega, while 240m3/day is abstracted from two boreholes in Magoye, bringing the total daily abstraction to 8,400m3/day. (ii) Water Treatment Plant The raw water bought from Zambia Sugar Company is pumped to Mazabuka Water Treatment Plant (WTP) where water treatment process involving flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and finally chlorination are executed. Filtration is accomplished using slow sand filter (SSF). By design, the WTP has a full treatment capacity of 8,000m3/day, but currently, the SSF can only produce 4,000m3/day. The SSF are currently not functioning to their full capacity due to clogged filter media which has not been changed over a long period of time. As a way of increasing production at the WTP, SWSC has temporary improvised filtration by addition of 4 fabricated steel rapid sand filters (RSF) thereby increasing surface water production to 6,000m3/day. Figure 13: Slow Sand Filters (iii) Water Transmission, Storage and Distribution The treated water is pumped to a Water Distribution Centre (WDC) from the WTP. The steel transmission pipeline is very old and frequently fails in some sections due to corrosion. The WDC has 1no x 3,200m 3 circular ground tank, 1no x 1,125m3 rectangular ground tank and 1no x 75m3 elevated concrete circular tank. While SWSC has the responsibility for water provision in urban and peri-urban areas of Mazabuka, Nega- Nega and Magoye, there are currently a number of unplanned areas like Ndeke, Kaleya station, Chibuyu, Highlands, Bantabury and Magoye Settlement that are not connected to the network where access to clean and safe water is still very low, thereby posing some health risk. Below are the numbers of water connection as at September 2020. 32 | P a g e Table 7: Water connection Domestic Institutions Commercial Total Mazabuka 7,158 126 295 7,579 Nega-Nega 315 12 3 330 Magoye 277 5 0 282 Total 7,750 143 298 8,191 Source: Swasco,2020

2.2.7.3 Issues Arising from Public Participation 2.2.7.3.1 Availability of the Service The prevailing challenges being faced in providing water supply and sanitation services are; i. Urbanization leading to overwhelming of existing water and sanitation infrastructure. ii. Poor enforcement of building codes by Local Authorities leading to mushrooming of unplanned settlements and use of poor-quality sanitation facilities. iii. Limited water and sanitation infrastructure owned by SWSC that is failing to keep [pace with the rate of population growth and urbanization] iv. High cost of investment in especially sanitation making it difficult for SWSC to extend services with its available working budget v. Inadequate regulation on sanitation leading to hazardous practices vi. Low prioritization of sanitation at household level vii. Poor attitudes and behaviors at household level on sanitation and hygiene viii. Unavailability of appropriate sanitation technologies for local context ix. Limited availability of comprehensive sanitation data for decision making 33 | P a g e x. Limited partnership with private sector for sanitation service delivery 2.2.7.3.2 Impact of Changes Anticipated over the Next Ten Years Population change = future demand for services and facilities The prevailing population change and future demand for Mazabuka as depicted from CSO data are as follows; Table 9: Population Projections in Licensed Areas of Mazabuka 2010 2019 2020 2030 Pop.

The population is projected to increase by a 2.5%) annually (CSO, 2010 in Mazabuka district which will ultimately increase the future demand of water resources. There is an inter-linkage between water resources and other sectors such as crop and livestock production, in that an alteration in one sector will impact the other. Impact of changes anticipated over the next ten years; 2.2.7.3.3 Existing and Proposed Investment Programmes The Government of Zambia (GRZ) through the Ministry of Water Development, Sanitation and Environment Protection (MWSSEP) is currently implementing the National Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (NUWSSP) through inter-alia the Integrated Small Towns and Water Supply and Sanitation Programme (ISTWSSP) and Mazabuka is one of the benefiting towns where most of the prevailing inadequacies will be addressed. With the anticipated increase in the population and economic growth which has resulted in increased water demand, Zambia Sugar Company has now agreed to increase the daily abstraction and has intimated that they can give up to a maximum of 10,000m3/day as per current water permit for SWSC . Owing to low production rate of SSF, plans are underway to modify the SSF to Rapid Sand Filters (RSF) so as to increase the through put of the WTP owing to poor quality raw water especially during rainy season and increase the production rate to 14,000m3/day. In order to meet the growing demand, more well fields will have to be developed so as to increase the ground water abstraction from 2,000m3 to 4,000m3/day. A significant part of Mazabuka water distribution network requires redesigning and reconfiguring to increase efficiency by reducing Non Revenue Water which is pegged at 38%. Most of the Asbestos Cement water distribution pipes are old and have outlived their life span. There is also evidence of frequency in pipe bursts and leakages, resulting in higher water production and running costs. There is need to extend the water distribution network to service other parts of Mazabuka which are being developed such as the Riverview, Chilala, Highlands, Chibuyu, Bantabury, Manubale in Neganega and Magoye Extension in Magoye. 35 | P a g e Figure 14: Mazabuka Existing and Proposed Water Supply Layout

2.3 Economic diversification and job creation

2.3.1 Energy The sampling among urban residents in January 2008 reveals that 47.66% of interviewed use ZESCO as a main source of power and 49.28% use charcoal as a main source of power. Due to frequent power cuts and not being connected to the electricity network, more and more people in the district use charcoal as the main source of energy. Government Priorities being and to be implemented include: connecting some low income households on subsidized rates, carrying out network expansion programs, electrification of demarcated compounds in urban areas, electrification of schools and clinics in rural areas, electrification of palaces, and electrification of villages at no charge.

2.3.1.1 Availability of the Service The availability of the service is not at 100%, this is due to some constraints and challenges we are currently facing this is in line with the Corporate Management of managing some loads where load shedding of 8hrs per day per area has been implemented. However, at local level, Management do monitor the allocation for the station such that for less loaded feeders, the time of load shedding is usually less than the 8hrs. There is need to invest in alternative sources of energy such as solar and wind. 36 | P a g e

2.3.1.2 Issues Arising from Public Participation 2.3.1.3.1 Availability of the Service i. Low access to the service due to the high connection chargesii Low usage due to the high electricity tariffs iii. Low investment in alternative sources of energy. iv. Ignorance on the community on identifying cheaper source of energy There are challenges when acquiring some wayleaves within town area and peri-urban areas. 2.3.1.3.2 The Impact of the Environment and Climate Change Issues on the Sector The low connectivity of households, as well as the perceived high tarrifs have resulted in most communities relying on the use of charcoal and other forestry products. This has led to degradation of the forestry by cutting down trees for charcoal burning which in turn causes soil erosion and pollution with carbon monoxide. Intensive use of chemicals by Zambia Sugar and Kaleya Smallholders in cane fields has an environmental impact as it contaminates underground water. Burning of cane fields as well as fumes produced during processing sugar at Nakambala factory also exacerbates the scenario.

2.3.2 Trade and Commerce i. Financial Institutions There are various commercial banks providing retail banking services in Mazabuka. These include the following: ABSA Bank Zambia Plc, First National Bank, Stanbic Bank Zambia Limited, Standard Chartered Bank Zambia Plc and Zambia National Commercial Bank Plc. ii. Microfinance Institutions There are five (5) Microfinance Institutions, two (2) Savings and Credit Institutions, one (1) Zambia National Building Societies and one (1) Bureau De Change. iii. Insurance Institutions There are a number of insurance companies operating in the district. Notable ones include ZSIC, Madison and Professional insurance.

2.3.3 Livestock Livestock farming is one of the major economic activities in the district. Different types of Livestock are kept at various farming levels. These include commercial, emerging and traditional farming. The common livestock at both commercial and emerging levels are cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and poultry. Mazabuka is traditionally a cattle keeping district and hence one of the biggest suppliers of both raw milk and beef in the country. Table 13: Estimated Livestock population in the district Class of livestock Estimated total Sheep 5,641 37 | P a g e Pigs 10,015 Goats 17,097 Cattle 107,932 Other class of poultry 114,015 Source: MOLF, 2020 Table 14: Estimated livestock population CATTLE GOATS PIGS SHEEP DOGS 1,899,594 1,566,905 553 933 31 654 279,316 Source: MOLF, 2020

2.3.3.2 Quality of the Service including Key Performance Indicators Poor service delivery due to inadequate staff (extension officers) and inadequate extension officers houses as the other 7 houses are not habitable

2.3.3.3 Existing and Proposed Investment and Development programmes i. Beef Cattle-rearing is one of the primary sources of livelihoods in Munenga, Mwanachingwala and Itebe ward and is a symbol of wealth while providing the primary source of protein. The district slaughters over 7,000 animals per annum of average weight of 300kg per animal and 70% of the animals come from the three wards that are Itebe, Mwanachingwala and Munenga ward. The three wards boast of a total cattle population of approximately 17,000 animals. The district boasts of favorable conditions such as availability of feed sources, molasses, common grazing (Kafue flats) and availability of surface water and ground water throughout the year. The district lacks an industrial beef and leather processing industry. ii. Dairy The district has the largest formal milk producing sector in Southern Province with over 6.6 million litres of milk per annum (18,028l/ day). Milk production in Magoye needs a processing industry due to improved dairy breeds for milk production, the availability of raw materials and availability of surface and ground water throughout the year. The district has invested in capacity building in farmers thereby assuring quality milk.

2.3.4 Fisheries The district undertakes a number of aquaculture activities. In Nachipoma area, five (5) fish ponds were constructed and so far, three (3) fish ponds have been stocked with Tilapia fish breed. The project is supported by Government under the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock as well as Solidaridad. In Shimungalu area, forty (40) fishermen were trained in Fisheries Management. 38 | P a g e

2.3.4.2 Quality of the Service including Key Performance Indicators i. Poor service delivery due to inadequate staff (extension officers) and inadequate extension officer’s houses ii. Erratic or no funding which has resulted in no fish statistical surveys for many years

2.3.4.3 Existing and Proposed Investment and Development programmes The three wards namely; Ngwezi, Kalama and Itebe have a good share of the Magoye River promoting capture fish especially cat fish during the rainy season mostly. However, the fish catches are in the decline due to the use of illegal fishing methods. It is for this reason that, following the national policy direction which is promoting aquaculture development, the district endeavors to promote the development of fish 39 | P a g e farming through the delivery of technical extension services and advice to fish farmers, thereby contributing to the household food security in the district.

2.3.5 Agriculture Most of the arable land on demand in the district (near the main road) has been occupied by the commercial farms while the emergent and small-scale farmers surround these. Crop and livestock farming are the major agricultural activities in the district. Sugar and maize are the main crops grown in Mazabuka. Sugar is cultivated at commercial and small holder level while other crops like beans, ground nuts, sweet potatoes and vegetables are mostly grown by small scale farmers. Different types of livestock are also kept at various farming levels and these include cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and poultry. However, Mazabuka is traditionally a cattle keeping district and hence one of the biggest suppliers of both raw milk and beef in the country. Fishing industry is the poorest in terms of management of the resources due to poor extension service and non-involvement of the community in management of the fishing site. Agriculture support infrastructure (i) Farmer Training Centre (FTC) not existing (ii) Teaching College needed (iii) Existing camp houses Mazabuka District has 29 agriculture extension camps. Therefore, it requires 29 extension camp houses but the district on has 13 houses out of which only six are habitable while the other seven are dilapidated. This brings the shortfall of houses to 23. Inadequate accommodation creates a problem for proper extension service delivery to the farmers as a camp officer needs to find own accommodation near the area of operation. The sector services are available through the extension services provided on no cost to all categories of farmers. Mazabuka district has 4 agricultural blocks and 29 agricultural camps with more than 37,074 farming households. Most farmers practice mixed farming and grow different crops both indigenous and exotic. The 2019 extract of preliminary crop forecasting tabulated showed about 25 different crops grown in the district. 40 | P a g e Table 16: Crop production in the district No Crop No. Growers Planted hectare Expected Productivity (HA) production (Ton) (yield/Ha) 1 Maize 21,780.00 39,592.10 73,245.75 1.68 2 Groundnuts 6,143.00 3,150.75 7,515.00 0.70 3 Cowpeas 3,041.00 2,199.80 21,488.00 1.13 4 Cotton 2,237.00 4,385.50 198,645.10 32.20 5 Soya beans 1,781.00 1,914.50 31,457.10 0.90 6 Sweet potatoes 3,455.00 981.50 18,287.00 1.28 7 Sunflowers 368.00 494.50 1,090.50 1.03 8 Sorghum 186.00 59.00 105.60 0.55 9 Bambara nuts 266.00 27.00 54.06 0.28 10 Sugar beans 639.00 123.00 279.20 0.21 11 Cassava 14.00 9.50 88.40 0.84 12 Rice - - - - 13 Sugar cane 90.00 6,025.00 1,747,725.00 21.30 14 Sunhemp 16.00 283.50 508.50 1.06 15 Popcorn - 50.00 37.50 0.75 16 Irish potatoes - - - - 17 Vegetabes - - - - 18 Dry beans - - - - 19 Rape 39.00 8.00 14.70 0.77 20 Okra 10.00 0.65 0.90 0.78 21 Butternuts - - - - 22 Tomatoes 41.00 12.00 5.75 3.46 23 Cabbage 30.00 1.90 1.20 0.15 24 Dolicus lab - - - - 25 Velvet - - - 0.15 Totals 40,136.00 59,318.20 2,100,549.26 Source: MOA, 2020

The large scale farmers have irrigation facilities and the small scale farmers depend on rain fed agriculture. v. Number of irrigation infrastructure disaggregated by type (weirs, multipurpose dams). The district have 37 dams most the communal dams (45 %) are silted and hold less water as designed. vi. Number of small scale farmers accessing agricultural inputs through the e-voucher and other systems disaggregated by Agriculture sub-sector (livestock, crops, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry). Currently, 12,724 small holder farmers are on the Farmer Input Support Program representing 34 % of the farming community.

2.3.5.2 Issues Arising from Public Participation 2.3.5.2.1 Availability of the Service i. There is need to create agricultural processing industry like milling company and other food processing plants. This can start gradually at homesteads and later to company level serving the whole district. 42 | P a g e ii. There is an outcry for formal marketing center for crops especially legumes. Most farmers don’t get the value for the produced crops due to increase in briefcase buyers and no formal markets for most crops iii. Camp houses construction and rehabilitation is vital so that the farmers can access the extension services within their locality 2.3.5.2.2 Impact of Changes Anticipated Over the Next Ten Years Population change There is an increase in people going into agriculture and need the extension services especially SMEs.

The ratio of farmers to extension officers is still too high at 900 due to increase in demand. This need to reduce below 400 ii. The market related facilities (storage shade, bulking centers, markets) are inadequate iii. There is need to increase production due to population increase 2.3.5.2.3 Existing and Proposed Investment and Development programmes The Enhanced and improved agricultural production through promotion of irrigation, conservation farming to improve soil water retention and provision of more water points. This will lead to increased agricultural production particularly in the production of diversified crop such as soya beans, cow peas and groundnuts. The district also has a high potential in the development of horticultural production due to Proximity to water sources (Kafue and Magoye Rivers) and also the high demand for horticultural products due huge urban population from Zambia Sugar employee. Zambia Sugar has over 6,000 employees at peak and an estate population exceeding 16,000 people. Zambia Sugar has gone through several major expansions since inception, increasing its sugar production capacity from around 2 000 tons and presently 450,000 tons annually. In 2007, the Nakambala Expansion Project was launched. The agriculture and milling expansion were completed on schedule in April 2009 and was commissioned on 9th December 2009, as the largest single investment made in the agricultural sector in Zambia. The expansion was based on a 100% increase in the cane crushing capacity of the factory, resulting from expanded sugar cane growing, while on the agricultural side, the expansion translated into the construction of a network of dams, canals, pipelines, pump stations, roads and power infrastructure to service the new areas of sugarcane development, which have all been planted under center pivot irrigation system. The Zambia Sugar acquired Nanga Farms Plc, a cane growing company, located adjacent to the Nakambala estate, producing over 300 000 tons of sugar per annum(IIlovo Sugar, 2014). In 2015 Zambia Sugar embarked on an expansion of its sugar refining capacity with the launch of the Product Alignment and Refinery (PAAR). The new refinery, a Greenfield project, increased production capacity of refined sugar from the previous 40 000 tons per year to 90 000 tons per year. The project also included improvements to the existing factory. The Nakambala Refinery was commissioned on 6 July 2016 (IIlovo Sugar, 2014). 44 | P a g e Zambia Sugar grows sugar cane at the Nakambala Estate on 17 000 hectares of land, while its out growers grow sugar cane on another 12 000 hectares, contributing 40 per cent of the 3 million plus tons of sugar cane milled at Nakambala. Favorable climatic conditions and quality cane husbandry continue to give good cane yields across the cane growing areas. To utilize water efficiently, all new fields are irrigated by center pivots (ibid). Ethanol Industry: Zambia Sugar Plc owns Africa’s largest single sugar mill based at Nakambala Estate in the Mazabuka District of the Southern Province in Zambia. Due to the expansion of the mill from 2 000 tons and presently 450 000 tons of sugar annually, the company produces 150 tons of molasses on average hence which can be used if an industry is set up for ethanol. Molasses will be used for alcohol production, livestock feed, yeast and ethanol. A partnership can be formed with Zambia Sugar to produce ethanol from the molasses and sugarcane juice that is a by-product of their sugar processing activities. High cattle population and availability of market for stock feed (presence of commercial farmers). 2.3.5.2.3 The Impact of the Environment and Climate Change Issues on the Sector: Currently, there is a trend or need for land for residential and arable land for farming as well as demand for grazing land for livestock rearing. This leads to the following: i. Deforestation ii. Environmental degradation owing to the increased use of fertiliser and pesticide on crops and soils iii. Reduction in food security which has led to hunger and increased poverty levels in the district iv. Increased drought spells and flash floods have led to destruction of crops. The degradation of land is a matter of serious concern endangering sustainability of agriculture in Mazabuka. Landslides caused by rains and flowing water in hilly areas and deforestation, overgrazing and faulty cultural practices in the forest and other plain areas expose the soil to water and wind erosions. Similarly, increased dependence on intensive agriculture and irrigation also resulted in salination, alkalisation and water logging in some irrigated area of the district. This has impacted the quality of the soil in the following ways: i. Deficiency of soil nutrients due to intensive cultivation. ii. Imbalance in soil nutrients particularly the deficiency of micro- nutrients. iii. Decline in the organic matter in the soil. iv. Deforestation and overgrazing of Pasteur’s causing exposure of soil to water and wind erosion. v. Decline in underground water due to over exhaustion for high water using crops, increase in cropping intensity and increase in cultivated area especially is northern part of the sweet water zone. vi. Increase in water level in the cotton belt of north-western part of the country endangering then cultivation of cotton crop due to pumping out of brackish water resulting in accumulation of salts on earth surface. Further, the wet condition due to non-percolation of rain water attracts serious pests. 45 | P a g e vii. High use of nitrogen and water have caused percolation of nitrogen up to water table thus polluting it even for human consumption. 2.3.5.2.4 The Impact of the Existing Trends on the Environment and Climate Change Bad agricultural practices contribute to global warming especially land preparation methods which turn carbon into the atmosphere. Water contamination from Animal waste from farms contains harmful pathogens such as Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia duodenales, both of which are known to cause disease and infection. By getting into soil and water systems they create irreversible damage to land and pose health risks towards humans. These problems lead both directly and indirectly to these health risks, and may cause disorders such as hepatitis and meningitis. Fertilizers also put forth several complications. They contain harmful elements such as nitrogen and phosphates, both of which negatively affect air and water quality. Its use causes the release of ammonia, nitrogen runoff and eutrophication, all of which have negative effects on the environment. 2.3.5.2.5 The Impact of the Environment and Climate Change Issues on the Sector Agriculture is the major source of living for a considerable number of Mazabuka’s rural population. However, agriculture production is generally low due to low rainfall and frequent droughts and flash floods, very high temperatures, poor and thin soils, rugged terrain and poor feeder roads among other constraints. 2.3.5.2.6 Consideration of Underlying Factors Contributing to Issues Identified Farmers in the district are affected by various constraints which in the end hampers their productivity capacity. These constraints include; i. Poverty is affecting the type of enterprise the farmer can do. The capital required to start an agricultural investment is too much for most poverty stricken families. ii. Illiteracy levels affect the knowledge and skill the farmer can manage to enterprise into for income generation. Literate famers easily see opportunity to aquire financial services. iii. Disease pandemics are cross cutting issues which affect agricultural sector in varying ways. iv. camp extensionists not in camps is hindering access to the delivery of the extension services to the farmer v. operation funds are erratic and activities must be done following the agricultural calendar

2.3.6 Mining, Mining is another sector which contributes to the economy of the district. This is done through employment of residents and various taxes the mining firms pay to the Local Authority and the government at large. Currently, the district has two notable mines which are Mabiza Nickel Mine and Turtle Agro mining limited. i. Mabiza Nickel Mine The Mabiza Minerals Limited mining project is said to be one of very few new nickel sulphide developments planned worldwide and is expected to have a final direct cash operating cost of about US$3 per pound of nickel in concentrate. Although it is billed as a nickel project, Mabiza Minerals also contains 46 | P a g e commercial quantities of copper, cobalt and platinum group metals (PGMs). Mabiza Minerals is costing $125m in capital and about $25m in working capital and mine development. Geology, the deposit is of the “gabbro-hosted” class of nickel sulphide deposits and, as such, the geology and style of mineralization are broadly similar to that of other gabbro deposits such as Tati in Botswana and Sally Malay in Australia. Mabiza Minerals geologists believe that the mineralization is associated with mafic to ultramafic intrusions that have been emplaced along major regional faults. Resources, the latest total indicated and inferred resources for the deposits, at a cut-off grade of 0.6% nickel, are 10.3Mt at 1.2% nickel, 0.2% copper, 0.07% cobalt, 0.6g/t palladium and 0.3g/t platinum. This amounts to a current metal inventory at Munali of 123,500t of Ni and 246,800oz of PGMs. ii. Turtle Agro Mining Limited, Chivuna- Mazabuka The mine is an already existing quarrying mine that is currently extracting, crushing and milling lime stone at 800 bags/day (50kg). It processes lime stone into grids and powder for use in agriculture and stock feed, produce calcitic and dolomitic agricultural lime which combats soil acidity, supplies Ca, Mg to plants, improves soil physical structure with better water infiltration, reduces energy for roots to penetrate soil and improves the performance of fertilizers. The mining activity has potential for expansion to produce manufacturing of paint, tile fix and grout.

2.3.7 Tourism i. Natural Resource - Kafue River The Kafue River, which runs through the Magoye, is itself a tourist attraction. Its waters house the Hippos and Crocodiles, which are fascinating to tourists. ii. Sport Fishing The spectacular Kafue River runs through Magoye and provides a variety of species that can attract both local and foreign tourists to entertain themselves with sport fishing. This activity can provide the district with revenue. iii. Bird Sanctuary The Kafue flats offer Africa’s most attractive birds of the wetlands. The promotion of this venture can indeed be a revenue generation in Itebe ward from both local and international tourists. iv. Boat Cruise Boat cruise could be one of the revenue generations in Itebe ward if well exploited and promoted. v. Wildlife Mazabuka District is blessed with the Kafue wetlands which have the unique Kafue Lechwe and Zebra which attracts tourists in terms of game viewing, sport hunting, research and any other socio-economic benefits derived from wildlife. The conservation of wildlife estate for the benefit of the community requires the appreciation of every member of the district. Wildlife is a good source of income. vi. Munali Historical Site Little has been done to improve this important site. It can be a means of tourist attraction if promoted. vii. Traditional Ceremonies There are two major traditional ceremonies in the district namely: The Lwindi Mulembo traditional ceremony of Hanjalika chiefdom. 47 | P a g e

2.3.8 Natural Resources – Forests

2.3.8.1 Key government priorities being and to be implemented at a local level In Zambia, forest sector development has been generally guided by adopted government policy which has been translated into activities at Mazabuka district. According to the forestry provincial strategic plan 2008-2010, the first policy was adopted in 1949 and was focused on forest plantation establishment, research, extension and training. The policy was revised in 1965 and was similar to the first. Both policies’ focus sought to place under general government control forest areas needed to supply forest produce on sustainable basis and to protect the land against floods, erosion and desiccation and maintain and protect the flow of rivers. The 1965 policy in addition introduced beekeeping and extension development. Later a policy review took place between 1995 and 1997 and gave birth to the adoption of the 1998 policy which aimed at increasing the country’s forest cover while at the same time meeting growing local needs for fuel-wood, fodder, timber and maintenance to biodiversity for the benefit of the present and future generations through the active participation of all stakeholders. The policy encouraged participatory Joint Forestry Management (JFM) with the active involvement of local communities in the protection management and utilization of forest resources. This meant that there was a shift in policy from centralized government control approach to participatory approach involving all and other stakeholders. Three documents helped to shape the 1998 policy the National Conservation Strategy (NCS) formulated in 1985 and later in 1994, the National Environmental Action Plan (NEAP) adopted to integrate environmental issues into other social and economic plans and initiatives as well as Zambia Forestry Action Plan (ZFAP) which paved way for government to review the forest policy and legislation and come up with forestry sector development programmes. Later the 1998 forestry policy was replaced by the forestry policy of 2014 which is currently being used. Thus the forestry department under the ministry of lands and natural resources is established under the forests Act No. 4 of 2015. The core function is to spearhead sustainable management of the forest resources. The district office ensures the implementation of the plans formulated at provincial level. Apart from the department the Zambia police are required by laws to support forest resource management through the enforcement of the forest Act. The mandate of the forestry department is to implement national forestry policy and legislation. The operations of the forestry department are also guided by key national documents such as National Development Plan (NDP), vision 2030, the sustainable development Goals the national strategy to reduce deforestation and forest degradation. The department has a vision and mission which guides its operations; The National Forestry Policy is guided by seven (7) principles based on; Broad-based participation; Equity and responsibility; Sustainable forest management; Holistic and Ecosystem based; Abatement of climate change; Precautionary principal and Free prior informed consent. 48 | P a g e

2.3.8.2 Description of the existing state of development

2.3.8.3 Availability of service Currently, the forestry department’s mandate to carry out its functions from the forest Act No. 4 of 2015. The district has two offices, one in Mazabuka town at the government offices building referred to as the BOMA and Magoye Forest Reserve. The district has two forests that are protected to provide forestry services. Namely Chivuna Hills Local forest and Magoye Reserve which serves the function of recharging water bodies in the area. Part of Lusitu Head Waters National spills into Mazabuka and boarders with Mabiza mine. The forest estate status in Mazabuka is as shown in the table below: Table 19: State of the District Forest Estate FOREST STATUS NAME OF FOREST RESERVE AREA (Ha) LOCATION STATUS Gazetted 1. Lusitu Head Waters National No. 21, 990 Munali Hills INTACT P205 Gazetted 2. Chivuna Hills Local No. 208 588 Chivuna INTACT Gazetted 3. a) Magoye Reserve No. F50 1360 Magoye INTACT b) Magoye Plantation 35 Figure 15: Chivuna Local forest No. 208 (588 Ha) 49 | P a g e Figure 16: Magoye National Forest No. P50 (1,360 Ha) The strategic focus for forestry operations in Mazabuka is Forest protection and reforestation through intensified law enforcement, forestry extension services and tree planting respectively. 2.3.8.3.1 Quality of service including key indicators of performance Forestry department has challenges in executing their duties due to limited resources. There has not been adequate collaboration with the important linkages for the department to effectively achieve the desired objectives. The key performance indicators include the collaboration with relevant partners, the department undertakes enforcement with Zambia police and council. The department has been undertaking tree planting initiatives. 2.3.8.3.2 Issues arising from the public participation process i. Increase in population resulting in more demand for fuel wood and charcoal ii. Indiscriminate siting of developmental projects iii. Forest fires 2.3.8.3.3 Quality of service including key indicators of performance The quality of service provided is good. The service availability however has not been adequate and consistent. The key performance indicators are as follows i. Woodlots/ backyard forest established ii. FMNR areas established iii. Environmental Education iv. Public awareness meeting held frequently 50 | P a g e v. Increased forestry staff visits vi. Frequent monitoring 2.3.8.3.5 Population change – future demand for services and facilities It is anticipated that within the next ten years population is likely to be on the increase and thereby increasing urbanization. With increased population will come increased demand for wood and non-wood forestry products which will further contribute to climate change, as the tree population will be expected to reduce further. The weather pattern will most likely be more and more unpredictable. Global warming may impact greatly on Mazabuka as it is not just a future threat but a present danger. Climate change is one of the major causes of the natural disasters such as flooding and drought that is usually faced in Mazabuka. Droughts are becoming more frequent. Climate change will greatly affect the forests and subsequently agriculture. 2.3.8.3.6 Existing and proposed investment and development programmes Currently in Mazabuka there is an encouraging investment in beekeeping and honey production. There are over 18 beekeeping cooperatives in Magoye and Chivuna combined. The investment is not adequate enough though. Market linkage is lacking. Also there is good investment in wood based industries in Mazabuka. There are several carpenters that have ventured into furniture making. Value addition is very important and necessary in the forestry sector if it is to have any impact. Timber in Mazabuka is in the form of raw material when trading. Value addition in the timber industry is very important for Mazabuka’s economy. The community have been encouraged to establish backyard forests/woodlots and Farmer Managed Natural Resource (FMNR) areas. Thirty (30) protected forests have been established using the FMNR technique in Magoye area. Forestry department has through collaborating partners such as Solidaridad and Self Help Africa been able to facilitate the formation of Community Based Natural Resource Committees. The forestry department has also been active in the SCRiKA project in which it has been actively giving environmental technical advice. The department has been actively involved in the Moringa growing and production project which has both an adaptation and mitigation aspect of climate change. The issues arising from the public participating process is that forestry department does not frequently visit and monitor programs and people being dependent. 2.3.8.3.7 The impact of the continuation of existing trends on land use and population distribution patters. Mazabuka has high demand for wood fuel for the brewing industry. Deforestation has contributed to general environmental degradation in Mazabuka as manifested by land degradation and silting of streams and rivers such as Magoye and Kaleya through soil erosion. The actual rates and extent of deforestation in the province and in Mazabuka particularly of interest is unknown due to lack of up to date inventory data. National estimates put deforestation rates at about 250,000 – 350,000 hectares per annum, due to poor management. The main causes of deforestation in Mazabuka include uncontrollable human settlements, extensive agricultural farming practices, overgrazing, uncontrolled bush fires and uncontrolled cutting of trees for 51 | P a g e timber, wood fuel production, particularly for charcoal and firewood for the thriving kacasu (local beer) brewing. These trends are bound to affect the agricultural yields and cause desertification. Also land use system is bound to be affected as soils may become infertile. This may result in more people migrating from the rural areas to urban areas or abandoning the infertile land in search of better and more fertile land. Thus population will increase as it is evident currently in Mazabuka in peri-urban and urban areas. The continuation of deforestation will entail no environmental protection and mitigation which is an important role of forests. There will be run off and soil erosions will result. The carbon and hydrological (rain) cycles will be disrupted and there will be no habitat for various forms of wildlife. Thus ecosystem will be disturbed and biodiversity population reduced. 2.3.8.3.8 The impact of existing trends on the environment and climate change Indiscriminate cutting down of trees as well as deforestation or change of land use from forestry to agriculture, for instance, may have negative impacts on the environment. This is evident in Mazabuka. Soil erosion has resulted and hardening of soils which consequently do not support agriculture. Global warming will result and this will cause climate change which Mazabuka has been experiencing. Climate change could alter the frequency and intensity of forest disturbances such as insect outbreaks (like army worms), invasive species, wildfires and storms. The disturbances can reduce forest productivity and change the distribution of tree species. In some cases, forest can recover from a disturbance when trees are cut down and burned or allowed to rot, their stored carbon is released in the air as carbon dioxide. This is how deforestation and forest degradation contribute to global warning. Deforestation, that is the depletion of forests and other wild flora in woodlands, has significant effects on the weather. These range from local distortions to contributions to global climate change. Deforestation removes the ability of the forest to sequester carbon, absorb sunlight, process and block the wind. The effects are evident in Mazabuka. 2.3.8.3.9 Issues arising relation to gender groups and vulnerable groups Forestry tends to be perceived as male dominated although women are heavily involved in forest work such as wood gathering in Mazabuka. This has been observed in all forestry programs. Most meetings and trainings are attended by the male folk in all the wards when it comes to forestry. This is a setback if no one is to be left behind each and every person has a right and part in forestry matters and all stakeholders need to be involved in forest management and natural resource management. Lack of involvement of gender groups, youths and vulnerable groups creates gaps in achieving maximum forest benefits. Taking into consideration HIV/AIDS, climate change issues and now COVID-19 issues is cardinal as they may pose as obstacles to achieving forestry objectives. Already as a result of the above issues in Mazabuka, forestry operations have lagged. Thus mainstreaming the above issues in the forestry programs is vital. Vulnerability pushes communities into the poverty trap which in turn causes the community to turn to deforestation for survival. 52 | P a g e 2.3.8.3.10 Consideration of the underlying factors contributing to the issues identified There are several underlying factors contributing to the issues identified in the forestry sector and these are as follows: i. Inadequate and untimely release of resources ii. Lack of transport iii. Lack of capacity building in forest and natural resource management of community members iv. Lack of investment in the forestry industry v. Lack of frequent and up to date inventory of projected forest to enable forest management plan and development. vi. Weak enforcement vii. Lack of serious investment in the sector and weakness in forest resource management viii. Prioritization of the forestry industry is not there. ix. Lack of full participation in forestry management of all stake holders.

2.4 POVERTY AND VULNERABILITY REDUCTION

2.4.1 Poverty Assessment Levels Mazabuka district like other parts of the country has high poverty levels in rural areas than in urban areas. In 2010 rural poverty was estimated at 77.9 percent compared to urban poverty levels of 27.5 percent (CSO). All household expenditures were converted into monetory terms and then normalized using the CSO’s adult equivalent scale. The number of vulnerable households has also been on the rise and comprises people with limited access to essential services that are necessary for human survival such as health, education, water and sanitation. This is partly exacerbated by floods that is as a result of the effects of climate change, making rural roads impassable. This is evident in areas like Kalama, Chivuna, Nkonkola, Mugoto, Munenga, Itebe wards where roads are difficult to use in the rain season between November and April. In addition, poor nutrition, which in part is a function of food insecurity in poor households, further erodes the human capital potential. This reinforces the intergenerational transfer of poverty and keeps these households trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty. Vulnerable groups in the district currently include: female-headed households, child-headed households, and persons with disabilities, orphaned children, chronically ill and elderly people. The District is committed to reducing poverty through three result areas (development outcomes) of enhancing welfare and livelihoods of the poor and vulnerable. The result areas are climate change adaption, disaster risk reduction and mitigation; and reduced vulnerability associated with HIV/AIDS prevalence. Under this Plan, the District in line with SDG number 1, will implement appropriate social protection systems to achieve substantial coverage of the poor and vulnerable households. This will ensure that all men and women, in particular the poor and the vulnerable, have equal rights to economic resources, and access to basic services, ownership and control over land and other forms of property, inheritance, natural resources, new appropriate technology and financial services, including micro-finance. This is with a view to reduce social exclusion and enhance the productive capacities. In addition, social protection programming will serve as insurance against climate change and weather extreme events such as floods, droughts & high temperatures, promote household incomes, food and nutrition security requirements. Seasonal variation in rainfall in Mazabuka District appears to be 53 | P a g e increasing and this change has been apparent since the early 1990s. The average rainfall the district receives is 708.3mm of rainfall every year. Heavy rains and flooding are a significant threat to the livelihoods of people living both in urban and rural areas of Mazabuka. The largest threat is to road infrastructure which are frequently inundated. For example, in 2006/2007 rain season, a number of bridges like Nanga and Mugoto were damaged by floods. The District also experienced collapsing of houses and submerging of maize fields in Mwanachingwala, Kalama, Lubombo, Munenga, Mazabuka Central and Nega-Nega Wards. The district is highly exposed to periodic droughts, which are also related to the long dry spells as experienced in the 2018/2019 season which recorded the lowest rainfall of 452.4mm (Kafue Polder MET, 2019). It is a well-known fact that when extreme weather events such as floods and drought occur, the vulnerable people are the most affected. This is so because these households have very low adaptive capacity as they are already food insecure, have very low income levels, lack information and are excluded in most developmental and socio-economic activities. Special focus should therefore be on reducing poverty and vulnerability among women, the youth, the elderly and persons with disabilities. Programmes for moderating income inequalities will focus on promotion of livelihood potential among poor and vulnerable populations, with emphasis on provision of finance, agricultural inputs and entrepreneurship skills including public works to promote climate resilient community infrastructure and assets. The Plan will also adopt and expand on income redistribution, such as social cash transfers, village banking and food security packs. These will ensure that output enhancing activities are promoted for the vulnerable but viable populations to become productive and contribute to district development.

2.4.1.1 Impact of changes anticipated over the next ten years population change = future demand for services and facilities There are a number of impacts as a result of the anticipated development change to occur in Mazabuka District in the next ten years. Such changes would impact; i. Improved standards of living for the people of Mazabuka district – There is strong evidence of the influence GDP has on the infrastructure stock in a society. This in turn would lead to improvement in living standards of the populace in general, and also lead to further increase in economic growth. ii. Reduction in poverty - Studies have shown that there is a positive relationship between economic growth and the rate of poverty reduction in developing countries (Pernia and Quibria, 1999; Tisdell, 2008).

2.4.2 Community Development and Social Welfare i. Review of policies and plans Policies and plans used under this sector are; Food and security pack guidelines, The 7th National Development Plan and the National Social Protection Policy. ii. Women empowerment 54 | P a g e Under women empowerment, the district is currently implementing loan schemes (village banking) in Magoye, Lubombo, Kaleya west, Munenga and Mazabuka town. Women clubs are also a form in which women are empowered. The district currently has about 500 registered clubs iii. Food security pack This program is being undertaken in Magoye, Mugoto, Munenga, Hanyahika and Kaleya areas. A total number of 465 people benefited from the 2019-2020 farming season and currently the district has received a caseload for 300 beneficiaries. The selection for this program follows the following criteria; Child headed household, Female headed household, Disabled, The aged, Unemployed youths, Household headed by terminally ill patients and Victims of natural disasters iv. Village banking Village banking is currently being undertaken in the following areas; Lubombo, Kaleya, Magoye and Mazabuka town. A total number of 90 beneficiaries are on the program as at September 2020. A total number of 500 women have benefited from this program since 2017.

2.4.3 Labour and Social Security The key government priorities include; i. labour law and policy reforms implementation so as to promote decent, productive jobs and increase income ii. integrated labour inspections promotion iii. to attain labour productivity rate of 7% iv. skills development fund establishment so as to narrow the employee skills gap The existing state of development is as follows; i. Poor staffing levels which make it difficult to resolve the many labour issues ii. Inadequate to labour compliance to labour laws iii. Limited labour inspections due to lack of transport and fuel iv. Limited office infrastructure which affects efficiency v. High illiteracy levels make it difficult for workers to negotiate for appropriate conditions of service vi. Inadequate employment opportunities vii. Inadequate training institutions that address labour issues

2.4.3.1 Quality of the Service including Indicators of Performance There will be a productive labour force i. Currently, there are cases of casualisation of workers still be observed and reported ii. A good number of Employers are still not upholdg the minimum wage requirements iii. The Employment Code Act no.3. of 2019 still has some challenges being effectively implemented

2.4.3.2 Issues Arising from Public Participation Availability of the Service i. inadequate staffing levels to cope with labour issues 55 | P a g e ii. Increase skills training institutions so as to realise the needed skilled labour. Skills development is key in empowering citizens to enable them participate meaningfully in economic activities iii. Increase access to decent employment opportunities for vulnerable groups like youths, women and persons with disabilities iv. Enforce the minimum wage requirements v. Need for more office infrastructure

2.4.3.3 Impact of changes anticipated over the next ten years Population change = future demand for services and facilities. i. With increased population will come unemployment because there will be few job opportunities to much with the increased demand for employment Environment and Climate Change Analysis There is need to promote the concept of green jobs so as to reduce the effects of climate change and environmental degradation. Recycling and the use of renewable energy in work places is also paramount.

2.4.3.4 Issues arising relating to gender groups and vulnerable groups in each sector There are very few women and youths in employment as most employers prefer to employ men at the expense of women. There are various reasons attributed to this among them are; cultural issues. The notion that a woman’s place is the kitchen should not be down played. This mind-set hinders women and girls from competing for opportunities on the labour market. In addition, just the natural role of women as mothers also disadvantage women in the workplace as they have to go on maternity leave for 14 weeks the event of them delivering a baby.

2.4.3.5 Consideration of underlying factors contributing to issues identified i. Cultural factors ii. Poverty iii. High illiteracy levels iv. Inadequate skills training institutions in labour issues v. Reduced and varying yields. The challenge of climate change effect rain fed crops. vi. Hunger in some regions or camp especially the Naluama block which has been prone to reduced rainfall in the recent past

2.5 REDUCING DEVELOPMENTAL INEQUALITY

2.5.1 Communication, Roads and Transport

2.5.2.1 Road Transport Mazabuka District has a total of 2.8 Km tarred roads with roughly 400 km of gravel roads. The local authority undertakes routine maintenance of about 200 km of the total 400km of the gravel roads and the rest is left to Road Development Agency which engages contractors on a 3-year routine maintenance contract. 56 | P a g e

2.5.1.4 Roads in Mazabuka District Mazabuka District has one main district road, the T1 (the Great North Road), which separates the district into the northern and southern parts. The T1 Road links the district to Livingstone and Lusaka through Monze and Chikankata Districts in the southern and northern directions, respectively. This is the most important road in the district economically as links most parts of the district to its CBD. In addition to T1, there are a number of well-defined roads classified as bituminous, gravel and earth standards within the district. The table below shows details of existing roads in Mazabuka District. Table 20: Roads in Mazabuka District Status SN Standard Number Fairly Length (Km) Length (%) Good Bad Good 1 Bituminous 3 2 1 3.2 0.69 2 Gravel 13 3 5 5 332.6 27.14 3 Earth 21 3 18 125.1 72.16 Total 37 3 10 24 460.9 100 Source: MMC (2020) The table above shows that the Mazabuka has 37 existing roads whose cumulative length is 460.9 Kilometers. Most of the roads in the district are not tarred with asphalt. Only three are of bituminous standard. The rest are gravel and earth roads mostly in bad state. However, there have been maintenance efforts by the local authority on selected roads. The Road Development Agency (RDA) has earmarked a construction of the Kafue and Lusaka Bypass from Mazabuka to R556/R555 to M009 to M20 to T2 in its 2020 annual work plan. The district population is growing quite rapidly. This implies that the population projections indicate the anticipated increase in demand in access and communication. The population increase will also have a bearing on the demand for goods and services which will require movement. As such, it is imperative that the district makes deliberate investment in road infrastructure in readiness to meet the current and anticipated increased demand. 57 | P a g e Figure 17: Showing district roads 2.5.1.4.1 Issues Arising from Public Participation Process The past years Mazabuka has been characterised with bad roads both Township and Trunk Roads and there has been public concern for the local authority to ensure that the road networks are worked on. The lack of a Bypass Route for the Trucks has been a major concern for the residents of Mazabuka because of the number of accidents that have occurred especially around the Shoprite area because the road is very sloppy. In addition, People developing within the highway road reserves as well as the railway reserve, have impeded any future road expansion. 2.5.1.4.2 Impact of changes anticipated over the next ten years i) The rehabilitation works of the Mazabuka Livingstone Road will contribute towards employment creation, which in turn will lead to population increase in Mazabuka and other surrounding places. ii) Mushrooming of compounds/townships along the line of rail 58 | P a g e 2.5.1.4.3 Environment and climate change analysis i. The expansion of highways/road sometimes involves the cutting of trees which is a negative climatic impact on the environment. It should also be noted that government has policies in place to support the planting of trees and Mazabuka has been one of the districts undertaking the tree planting exercise. ii. The rehabilitation of Mazabuka Livingstone road (T1) will mean a massive influx of vehicles coming to/passing through the district and Carbon Emission from vehicles is likely to be on the rise iii. The rise in the number of vehicles may also lead to congestion and subsequent emission of carbon monoxide.

2.5.1.2 Public Transport i. Railways Railway transportation services are available in the district though there are a number of challenges which include; Unreliable time schedule for the train, the train passes twice a week which is inconveniencing if one wants to travel any other day and The Journey takes too long. It should also be noted that Rail transportation is the cheapest and serves a lot of vulnerable people and therefore much attention in terms of improvement should be given to it. ii. Local Bus / Stations Mazabuka district is connected through the Great North Road to Lusaka and Southern Province. It has one major inter-city bus terminus. However, there is no central mini bus station for the local mini buses and they end up stopping in various places. Mazabuka has vehicles (trucks and Open Vans) that load and offload people from various rural areas in places that are not designated as stations and therefore cause congestion within the CBD. There are also a few minibuses that operate in Mazabuka district between town and sub urban areas and sub centres. However, there are no minibuses that cover the residential areas; as a result, these residents rely on taxis, of which there are different ranks in town. The existing state of developments in Mazabuka has their own challenges which include; (a) Different bus stops which inconvenience travellers; (b) Bus stops for Mini buses are not fully developed or serviced; (c) Few facilities to cater for pedestrians while the main mode of transportation is by foot; (d) Few parking spaces for private vehicles; (e) Inadequate road marks to guide traffic; (f) Accidents are not registered in one central place and therefore not all known; (g) Bicycles are functioning inadequately which is unsafe for the users. iii. Air transport The district does not have any public air field and is not serviced by public air transport. The only airstrips available are within private farms. There is need therefore to identify land for the establishment of air transport facilities

2.5.1.3 Traffic management and Control Traffic management and control in the district is at a lower level due to a number of factors which include; 59 | P a g e i. No adequate Road Marks to Guide Traffic ii. Lack of Bypass route for Heavy Duty Vehicles is one of the major causes of congestion and accidents within the District CBD. iii. The trucks that park in town block the flow of traffic by blocking views and obstructing leave ways iv. Most urban residents still cover town on foot, followed by the minibus and bicycle. There are only a few places in town that provide parking spaces, which at the moment caters for all private vehicles. Road traffic Police are being forced to escort some heavy-duty vehicles. The traffic police also have their challenges controlling traffic

2.5.1.1 Communication (i) Mobile Services There are three (3) mobile service providers in Mazabuka namely, Airtel, MTN and Zamtel. Airtel and MTN are privately owned whilst Zamtel is a parastatal company. All the three mobile service providers have a physical presence in the district. (ii) Internet Services There are different ways to access the internet: dial-up, broadband and wireless (Johnson, 2008). The broadband providers in Mazabuka are Coppernet and Zamnet. In Mazabuka there are at the moment three internet cafés in the town centre which are open for the general public. The rate range is between K6.00 to K12.00 per hour. At a personal level, all the three mobile service providers; Zamtel, MTN and Airtel provide internet services on mobile phones. (iii) Other Forms of Communication There is one community radio station in Mazabuka, namely Radio Mazabuka. For postal services, Mazabuka has a ZAMPOST office which provides postal services. Other courier services include DHL, Fedex, Mercury Couriers. Mazabuka District has a total of 2.8 Km tarred roads with roughly 400 km of gravel roads. The local authority undertakes routine maintenance of about 200 km of the total 400km of the gravel roads and the rest is left to Road Development Agency which engages contractors on a 3-year routine maintenance contract.

2.6 Cross cutting issues

2.6.1 HIV AND AIDS Status Zambia has an estimated adult (15–49 years) HIV prevalence of 12.3% (ZAMPHIA 2016) and 1.3% among children (0–14 years). HIV prevalence is higher in the urban areas at 18.2% compared with rural areas at 9.1% (DHS 2013–14). HIV incidence is estimated at 0.7% among adults (ZAMPHIA 2016). HIV prevalence is lowest among those aged 15–19 and peaks among those aged 40–44 for both males and females (ZDHS 2013–14). Adolescents comprise 23% of the total Zambian population, with 4.8% of females and 4.1% of males currently living with HIV. Based on recent estimates and projections from Spectrum, Zambia had 60 | P a g e 1.2 million people living with HIV in 2015, and this number is expected to increase to 1.3 million people in 2020. The country has made progress in scaling up high-impact HIV preventive interventions. There has been a marked improvement in male circumcision (MC) rates among men in the group aged 15– 49 from 13% in 2007 to 22% in 2014 (ZDHS 2013-14). Close to 1.2 million men have been circumcised from programme inception to December 2015, with up to 17,000 new infections averted (Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision [VMMC] Impact Evaluation Report 2016). The uptake for HIV testing services has risen from 14% in 2001 to 37% in 2013 among men aged 15– 49, and from 9% in 2001 to 46% in 2013 among women aged 15–49. The number of people living with HIV accessing ART has also increased from 3% in 2004 to 62% (758,646) in 2015. The survival and retention of people on ART at 12 months increased from 65% in 2010 to 81% in 2013. The mortality attributable to AIDS has reduced from an estimated 65,000 in 2000 to 20,000 in 2015 among adults. The goal of the HIV programme over the next five years is to reduce new HIV infections and AIDS- related mortality by 75% and reduce HIV-related stigma and discrimination to zero within the context of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being across all ages. In order to accelerate progress towards ending the epidemic, bold and ambitious targets have been set. These targets aim to transform the vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths into concrete milestones and end-points. These aim at ensuring 90% of people living with HIV know their HIV status, 90% of people who know their status receive life treatment, and 90% of people on HIV treatment having a suppressed viral load so that their immune system remains strong, and to increase to 95% for each target by 2030 (UNAIDS 2016). Mazabuka has a total population of 248,406 with the HIV prevalence rate of 18.4 percent (NAC 2010), the district is second to Livingstone which is the highest in the province with the HIV prevalence of 23.5%. The total number of people on ART in Mazabuka district is 18,735(Males 7,012 and females 11,723). (DHIS2.MOH 2020) There are numerous reasons why Mazabuka is second in the province (a) Mazabuka is part of the transit region, triggering commercial sex workers, (b) there is inadequate appropriate information on HIV/AIDS in rural areas, (c) there is a lack of recreation facilities for the children/youth leading them to abuse substance, alcohol and drugs, (d) there are a lot of seasonal workers from outside the regions who are being separated from their families, which puts them at risk of engaging into unsafe sexual behavior. These are attracted to the existence of: a. Fish mongering along Kafue River; b. Farming activities, attracting a lot of traders; c. Sugar production which relies on seasonal workers (Zambia Sugar, KASCOL); d. Establishment of the new Albidon mine in the district contributing to an influx of people from other provinces. e. Construction of Chikankata Mazabuka road which has employed a lot of skilled and unskilled labour. However, significant strides have been made both at national and district level to reduce the prevalence rate and one of the key factors in the reduction of the prevalence rate which Mazabuka District has also embraced is the multi sectoral approach through the District HIV/AIDS Committee (DHAC), a committee 61 | P a g e at the district level mandated by the National AIDS Council to coordinate and monitor HIV/AIDS actives and make sure that all departments and sectors mainstream HIV/AIDS in their workplace.

2.6.2 Gender Gender Mazabuka District formulated a District Gender committee spearheaded by the District Gender Focal Point Person. It has a membership of 14 officers from different sectors. However, the district has a number of stakeholders dealing in gender issues like World Vision, People’s Action Forum (PAF), the police, education, Mazabuka Municipal Council, One Stop Centre and Child Fund. 62 | P a g e

2.6.2.1 Decision making at local level Table below highlights gender analysis at local level Table 23: Gender analysis in the District Total Male Female No of Councilors 18 18 0 No of Committee Chairperson 6 6 0 No Senior Management Staff 8 4 4 From the table above, 90% represents men and 10% represents women. The data above shows that women in at local level are underrepresented and this as explained by the members is attributed to women having to perform many house hold chores such as land preparation, caring for the children, and to some extent fear to lead amongst the women.

2.6.2.2 Gender Activities Implemented a. Community sensitization meetings on gender equity and equality b. Provision of equal benefits for women and men when it comes to maternity and paternity leave as guided in the condition of service. c. Equal opportunities for up grading academically are given to both women and men; for example, employees can go to school regardless of their gender. The table below indicates that a large group of residents in Mazabuka are aware of human rights violation in their close vicinity. Of these residents some 29% were aware of child abuse in their close vicinity and some 22% of the residents were aware of sexual harassment. Table 24: Human Rights Violation Type of Human Right Violation Positive Response In percentages (%) Child Abuse 625 29 Child labour 407 19 Sexual 472 22 Physical Abuse within Marriages 12 0.05 Others 10 0.04 63 | P a g e

2.6.3 Corona Virus Disease Covid-19 has also become a widespread epidemic that has become a serious development and health crisis. Covid-19 affects different people in different ways. Most infected people develop mild to moderate illness and recover without hospitalization. However, the most common symptoms include; fever, dry cough, tiredness. The disease can also cause respiratory illness similar to a common cold and in severe cases leads to pneumonia, Kidney failure and can result in death. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is also an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus called SARSCOV-2. Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment. However, some people may develop severe symptoms especially those with underlying causes

2.6.3.1 Transmission a. The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. b. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces. c. You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.

Individual and environmental measures (hand washing, sanitizing) b. Detecting and isolating cases, c. Contact- tracing and quarantine, 64 | P a g e d. Social and physical distancing measures including for mass gatherings, international travel measures, e. Case management (Health facility or community model)

2.6.4 Climate Change Mazabuka district has been experiencing adverse impacts of climate change - including an increase in frequency and severity of seasonal droughts, occasional dry spells, and increased temperatures, flash floods and changes in the growing season. Mitigation measures will be devised to eliminate or offset the anticipated adverse environmental and social impacts to acceptable levels and on the other hand reinforce measures for enhancements. The strategies employed for impact mitigation are avoidance, reduction and remedy. The implementation of the IDP and projects will entail strict enforcement of the environmental safeguards during the project construction and operation and therefore the need for an Environmental and Social Monitoring Plan executed during the project implementation. Mitigation measures, design features, or actual impacts will be monitored to ensure environmental acceptability of the project during and after implementation.

2.7 Summary of the availability of services below is a table summarizing the availability of services; Table 25: Summary of availability of services SN Service Availability 1 Education Mazabuka has 106 learning institutions in total of which 11 are secondary schools, 58 primary schools, 19 community schools, 13 private schools and 1 skill training school. 2 Health 47 health facilities 3 Transport Roads are available, though in a bad condition, we also have rail transport and water transport with the availability of the Kafue river. 4 Solid waste Currently we have 3 dumping sites in Mazabuka. management 5 Water There are a total of 1,063 hand pumps and hand dug wells against a rural population of 183,808. 6 Energy Not connected to the electricity network and the majority of people in Mazabuka use charcoal as a source of energy. 7 Burial site We have two burial sites. 8 Street Available within the CBD and great north road. lighting 9 Dog Available at veterinary offices. vaccination 10 Tourism The presence of wild animals, birds and sanctuary at the Kafue river could be a good tourist attraction. 65 | P a g e 11 Fishing We have 51 fish ponds and 37 fishing camps in Mazabuka. 12 Security Currently we have 5 police posts in Mazabuka 13 Agriculture The main agriculture activities in Mazabuka are crop and livestock production. 14 Library We have two libraries though privately owned Source: IDP team, 2020 66 | P a g e Table 26: Summary – Core Problems SN Core Issue Description of the core issue 1 Processing Mazabuka has an agricultural based economy with potential in value addition industries from its byproducts such as milk production, butter, cheese, turneries, fruit and vegetable production, however there are no processing industries apart from the sugar processing plant at Nakambala Sugar estate. 2 Livestock One of the major economic activity in the IDP area is livestock. Animals infrastructure frequently die due to lack of dip tanks for disease control and dams for watering of animals mostly in the dry season. 4 Road Transportation is essential to goods and people in every region. Important road infrastructure infrastructure is in a deplorable state and needs adequate repair to open up trade within the region. 5 Access to Health The region lacks an equitably distributed health facilities due to poor road Services networks and population distribution. 6 Deforestation Indiscriminate cutting down of trees for charcoal and fuel wood has been and Soil erosion rampant in the IDP area. This has resulted in large tracts of land cleared for unsustainable agricultural practices, leading to loss of vegetation and exposure of soils to heavy soil erosion in the rainy season. 7 Impact of The change in rainfall patterns has resulted in crop failure for rain fed grown by climate change households. A rise in temperatures has also affected the water retention in the on crops IDP area 8 Cemeteries The IDP area has inadequate gazated public cemeteries incapable of running through the IDP implementation period, hence considered inadequate. 9 Water supply The region lacks adequate water supply and sanitation due to an increase in and Sanitation population. The service provider, Southern Water and Sanitation company has faced challenges to provide the so much needed services considering its services by the residents unsatisfactory. The region therefore lacks critical water supply due to lack of dams, bore holes, and an expanded water reticulation system 10 Skills There is high unemployment levels amongst the youths in the IDP area due to development lack of a well-defined service and manufacturing sector. centers 11 Spatial The IDP area currently do not have local area plans, this has resulted in an Development increase in un controlled illegal settlements encompassed with pollution posing centers a danger in disease outbreak. 12 Solid waste An increase in population has resulted in increased generation of pollutant Management materials such as plastics. The IDP area has no land fill. 15 Limited Women Due to high levels of illiteracy among women, there is low participation in Participation governance at local level. This has also led to low access to land and finance. 16 Water Pollution Ever increasing human settlements has resulted in water pollution encompassed with u se of septic tanks is also polluting underground water sources. 67 | P a g e CHAPTER THREE THE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

3.0 Introduction The preceding chapter has identified the key issues that affect the sustainable growth of Mazabuka district. This Chapter sets out the Development Framework which would guide the development of the district for the period 2021 to 2032. It outlines the vision, goals, objectives, strategies and programmes.

3.1 Defining the long term vision

3.1.1 The Vision Statement The vision for Mazabuka District is stated as; “To be a well-developed industrial, prosperous, climate resilient city that delivers quality services to all residents by 2031”

3.1.2 Explanation of the Vision

3.1.2.1 Development According to TODARO (1981:56) refers to development as “……..a multi-dimensional process involving the reorganization and reorientation of the entire economic and social systems. ...” Nevertheless, a careful analysis reveals that at each level, a country can have different definitions of development.

3.1.2.2 Quality Services The ILO report for the 1976 World Employment Conference defined basic needs in terms of food, clothing, housing, education, and public transportation. Employment was both a means and an end, and participation in decision making was also included. The first task was to quantify basic needs for a target year – in this case twenty-five years into the future (1975-2000). In other words, what must GDP in t+25 be if even the poorest 20 percent of the population would have enough to eat, decent housing, and high quality education? Without going into the details of all the numbers and calculations, this quantification was feasible. Having quantified GDP for the target year, one could calculate the annual rate of economic growth required between the base and the target years (The Basic Needs Development Strategy Louis Emmerij Background Paper World Economic and Social Survey 2010)

3.1.2.4 Prosperous According to the Oxford dictionary prosperity is the state of being successful especially in making money. This is a key aspect of the future of Mazabuka. The future city needs to be a city of economic opportunity that provides and supports job creation, entrepreneurship and innovation through creation of industries and gives an opportunity to its citizens to generate and build wealth.

3.1.2.5 Industrial The future of Mazabuka should be industrial. This implies investing in industrial development of the region with a clear focus on manufacturing, processing, building industrial zones, supporting industrial development and promoting forward and backward linkages in all the strategic economic sectors. The 68 | P a g e agriculture sector should be used as a launch-pad to ensure the birthing of other industries and industrial development.

3.1.2.6 Climate resilient Mazabuka district aspires to be a climate resilient city by 2030, which is explained by Pelling (2003) as having urban systems, and urban constituencies being able to quickly bounce back from climate related shocks and stresses. This means that citizens and institutions are aware of climate risks, are able to adapt to the prevailing shocks and can respond quickly to a changing environment. It is envisioned that Mazabuka district will have the ability to absorb, recover and prepare for future shocks impacting on the economic, environmental, social and institutional establishments. This will be achieved by adopting a sustainable development pathway leading to a socio-ecologically sound society having an inclusive growth with a gender connotation. This development pathway will encompass the following; Tailor early warning systems to meet the needs of vulnerable people who are predominantly crop and livestock farmers which in turn will address food security, mapping city services and access to amenities such as water and sanitation, building long- term resilience into infrastructure to achieve better health, education and livelihoods, planning will include updating land use codes, zoning, development standards, incentive programs, and other plans or policies to better prepare for likely shocks and stresses as well as information sharing, promoting an inclusive culture and a robust financial mechanism to support all activities. This will further be anchored on an inclusive, competent and accountable local governance system that is concerned about best practices and commits the necessary resources to develop capacities to manage any shocks and organize itself before, during and after a natural hazard.

3.2 Analysis of Core Problems

3.2.1 High Rates of Deforestation Trees play an important role in maintaining climate stability as well as maintaining a health ecosystem in the district. Review of empirical data shows a high rate of deforestation in the district and in the country at large. According to Integrated Land Use Assessment II Report (2011-2016) Zambia lose between 79000 and 150000 ha of forest cover per year. The problem tree below identifies the key drivers of high rates of deforestation and the primary causes include unstainable agricultural practices, charcoal burning as a source of energy, increase in population which results into increased urbanization and inadequate re-afforestation strategies. The analysis also shows the effects of high rates of deforestation which include land degradation, reduced rainfall due to climate change and low productivity and ultimately poverty. 69 | P a g e Figure 19: Problem tree for high rates of deforestation

3.2.2 Uncontrolled Spatial Growth Assessment The review of empirical data and imagery observation shows an exponential uptake of land around Mazabuka Township and several other growth nodes. To a large extent, the growth is uncoordinated and does not follow development standards. Figure 20 shows the drivers of the problem of uncoordinated development and the effects. The primary drivers of the disorderly spatial growth are the lack of planning agreements to manage land under farmlands around the municipality, inadequate tools and human resource to monitor and enforce planning control and exponential population growth coupled with limited compliance by many developers. The effects of the uncontrolled and uncoordinated development are that they increase the cost of service provision which results in un-serviced settlements and the developments constitute a continuous uptake of illegality of land which is unsustainable and ultimately results in loss of revenue by the local authority. 70 | P a g e Figure 20: Problem tree for uncontroled urban expansion 71 | P a g e

3.2.3 Agriculture/Fisheries/Forestry/Livestock Problem Tree The problem tree below identifies the key drivers of reduced agriculture, fisheries and livestock productivity. The primary causes include; unsustainable agricultural practices, unsustainable tree cutting, inadequate extension services, inadequate research and inadequate weather equipment. The analysis also shows the effects of reduced agriculture, fisheries and livestock productivity which include poor nutrition, reduced household income, high illiteracy levels, stunted growth and poverty. Figure 21: Problem tree for agriculture/livestock/fisheries/forestry

3.2.4 Limited access to Health Facilities The problem tree below identifies the key drivers of limited access to health facilities. The primary causes include; inadequate health facilities, long distances to health facilities, inadequate drugs and equipment, low staffing levels and unsafe cultural practices. The analysis also shows the effects of limited access to health facilities which include disease burden, high mortality rate and delays in receiving appropriate health care. Page | 72 Figure 22: Problem tree for Access to Health Facilities

3.2.5 Limited Access to Quality Education The problem tree below identifies the key drivers of limited access to quality education. The primary causes include; long distances to schools, absenteeism, low learning ability, high rates of poverty and cultural beliefs on education. The analysis also shows the effects of limited access to quality education which include early marriages, teenage pregnancies, high illiteracy levels and unemployment and crime.

3.3.1.4 Goal Four: Sustainably managed environmental services Objectives i. To increase the local forestry cover by an additional 500 Ha by 2030; ii. To develop an efficient solid waste management system by 2024;

3.3.2 Strategies This part outlines the key strategies under appropriate objectives which have to be implemented in order to ensure achievement of the outlined strategic objectives. The strategies are as outlined below; 3.3.2.1.1 Objective 1: To promote orderly development in and around key Growth Centres The key identified issue is the uncontrolled expansion of growth centres such as Changa-Changa. See Chapter Five for the Spatial Development Strategy. Strategies i. Engage Traditional Leadership in order to come up with Planning Agreements; ii. Prepare Local Area Plans for expansion of settlements; iii. Enhance Development Control Monitoring and Enforcement. 3.3.2.1.2 Objective 2: To double the proportion of the population with access to renewable clean energy by 2030 Strategies i. Move to less carbon-intensive energy by electrifying rural areas; ii. Develop solar energy farms; iii. Invest in distribution infrastructure and connect all the main production areas to electricity. 3.3.2.1.3 Objective 3: To double agricultural productivity by 2023 The key identified issue is in the district is that agricultural productivity has been reducing and has reached a low of 0.7 tons/ha. Chapter Four outlines the implementation programme and activities to ensure increased productivity. Strategies 75 | P a g e i. Improve Production and Productivity; ii. Promote diversification within the agricultural sector; iii. Enhance Development of Agricultural Infrastructure. 3.3.2.1.4 Objective 4: To grow Livestock and Fisheries productivity by 200 per cent by 2030 The key identified issue is that there is reduced productivity of Livestock and Fisheries and this is not enough to meet current demand.

4.0 SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK The Mazabuka spatial development framework spells out mechanisms where development projects and programs will be implemented in the district. The development of Mazabuka district and its existing spatial and economic linkages (associated with sugar cane growing and commercial farming) poses spatial planning limitations regarding the future growth and the district spatial developmental morphology. The limitations arise due to the limited land to expand the fast pace of physical development trends especially along the Great North Road as most of the land is held on title by private commercial farmers and a large part of the eastern side is the Zambia Sugar PLC land. In addition, some land falls under the jurisdiction of traditional leadership who include, chief Hanjalika, Mwanachingwala and Nalwama. Thus, the harmonization of the current spatial development is key in achieving aspirations of future land use and form in the Mazabuka Municipality Integrated Development Plan. The continuous uncoordinated spatial growth of commercial and human settlements such as Changa- Changa settlement into the farming area. There is also an unsustainable siting of the Zambia Sugar PLC cane fields right next to the township which constrains urban development (housing developments and agricultural expansion). Spatial Development framework The Mazabuka Spatial development plan was prepared in liaison with the department of Physical Planning Sothern Province Office. . The spatial plan preparation was developed according to steps provided for in the Urban and Regional Planning Act. Preparation steps included establishing local priorities through public consultations with traditional, local leadership and civil society. This involved identifying and protecting areas in the district which included specific infrastructure, natural resources such as forests and minerals, and recreational areas. The spatial development frame work was developed based on the following principles: • Land designation for various uses such as residential, industrial, commercial and social services/ amenities • Provision of basic technical infrastructure installations covering all utilities for residents • The reuse or redevelopment of undeveloped prime land and settlement areas shall be given priority • Development of remote rural areas as residential and economic areas of a district. • Infrastructure development to create settlements systems with focus on agriculture value addition • A functioning human environment and ecosystem maintained in built-up and undeveloped areas; • A well-balanced system of settlements and preservation of open spaces, protection of recharge areas and environmentally sensitive areas The SDF shall be used to address issues currently faced by IDP areas. Proposals for the intensification of development need to be accompanied by proposals for the development of supporting infrastructure, 80 | P a g e development control and land use strategies. The spatial development framework which will form part of the Integrated Development Plan is not stand alone. The objectives, strategies and projects and the spatial development framework shall be aligned taking into consideration the following aspects: a. Economic diversification; b. Potential for job creation through industrialization; c. Poverty reduction; and d. Environmental protection and climate change. The development framework aims at developing Mazabuka district by focusing on achieving equitable distribution of social and economic benefits driven by value addition around nodes (which are growth points and/or growth centres). The urban centre in Mazabuka will play an essential role in Mazabuka’s growth centre development and serve as a commercial hub. The Mazabuka CBD will be formulated by development of connected public transportation systems and pedestrian network where a financial business centre will be strengthened as in the existing business and commercial centre. The current government administrative centre will also be enhanced in association with knowledge centre development through provision of advanced technology and IT infrastructure. Development of higher education resources and facilities will be encouraged. Liveable living places in areas around the CBD will also be reorganized by densification of residential areas as mixed-use development including urban renewal. Development of the existing sugar industry serving as the mainstay in economic development in Mazabuka will drive the attainment of the vision of the district. Figure 26: Spatial Development Concepts 81 | P a g e

4.1 Growth centres The approach in the Growth Pole Concept in this scenario is that Mazabuka’s economic development, or growth, is not uniform over the district but is taking place around a specific pole or cluster. These poles may be characterized by key economic activities around which link industrial development mainly through direct and indirect effects. Core industries in Mazabuka can involve a wide variety of sectors such as agribusiness. The concept of Growth poles for the Mazabuka spatial framework will encourage economic development resulting in structural change caused by the growth of new propulsive industries. There are certain existing locations of these activities and proposed locations that may catalyze spread of development in the Mazabuka region which will require reinforcing transportation accessibility. These growth poles will initiate then spread development throughout the district. Growth gets distributed spatially within a regional urban system, but this process is uneven with the core benefiting first and the periphery eventually becoming integrated in a system of flows. This would help reduce the current inequalities among wards. Thus, contribute effectively to achieving Government’s strategy of improving service delivery through the strengthening of land management and administration outlined under the fifth pillar of the Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP). This will further contribute efficiently to the objective to controlled Spatial Growth. This approach will promote the alleviation of poverty due to deliberate strategies for intervention. The approach is feasible and attainable to implement as it involves comparative advantages of each region in the district thus reducing financial costs. Practicability of the approach will require Strategic engagement of the traditional leadership for acquisition of land through planning agreements. In other centres such as ZIAH, Zambia Sugar PLC the land is already being utilized for intended growth and requires further support to spur economic growth. There will be need for the preparation of Local Area Plans as a means of attracting investment and development control. The proposed growth areas therefore include; a. Fishing camps Both Shimungalu and Mbalangata fishing camps have the potential to initiate development by providing backward and forward linkages to the periphery and commercial land uses. The fishing camps sit on customary land and no planning agreements have been entered into to control the current developments. This has impacted negatively on the sustainable growth of the settlements. With above, it would be imperative to develop these potential camps as a growth node. b. Ethanol Plants The district’s main economic activity is sugar production. One of the by-products of sugar production is molasses which can be used to produce ethanol. This growth area will be located in the eastern part of the district were existing sugar plantations are located. Molasses will be used for alcohol production, livestock feed, yeast and ethanol. A partnership can be formed with Zambia Sugar to produce ethanol from the molasses and sugarcane juice that is a by-product of their sugar processing activities. The presence of commercial farmers with high cattle population will provide market for stock feed. 82 | P a g e c. Sugar Confectionary Production Sugar production is the mainstay of Mazabuka’s economy but more importantly, the national economy. Currently, Zambia Sugar contributes about 2% to Zambia’s GDP and 10% to the agricultural sector (IIlovo Sugar, 2014). In addition to its 6,014 employees, the company supports about 3,390 people in the out- grower scheme most of whom are in Mazabuka District. The existing growth centre is supported by other existing out grower schemes such as Nanga Farms, Kaleya, Maggobo and other small scale out growers. The current state of the industrial area in Mazabuka is under developed and will be enhanced by the setting up of the confectionery industry for production of chewing gums, sweets, candies, chocolates etc. Factories can further be set up in the district. d. Magoye Area Magoye is a periphery area situated on the southern part of Mazabuka Town. The area has been impacted greatly by the continuous uptake of land for agricultural purposes. Magoye consists of both state and traditionally owned farming parcels. It is also host to a gazzeted forest reserve. The existing land use activities are dispersed across the area with limited control. There is traditional land conversion which is done in piece meal without following laid down procedure and is not coordinated. The node can be planned holistically to avoid uncoordinated development of land and to recover land for other land uses such as education, industrial, religious and commercial. The concentration of activities in Magoye area can promote sustainable agricultural growth of the settlement and spur economic growth to the surrounding areas. e. Munali Nickel Mine Munali Nickel Mine is the only mine in the district that has led to the improvement and growth of Nega- nega area. Since its establishment in 2011, there has been an increase in the number of residences around the mining site. Despite undergoing a phase of care and maintenance shortly after opening, it re-emerged in 2019 with an improved geological model with a production ramp up of 3,000 tons in 2020 and 4,000 tons in 2021, respectively. Small-scale commercial activities have also emerged that indicate the anticipated growth of the area. Thus, this growth center can spur economic development. f. Zambia Institute of Animal Health The Zambia Institute of Animal Health (ZIAH) Growth Centre consists of the animal husbandry Institute. The area has the potential to become an agricultural hub as a learning center and has land which can be rezoned for residential, commercial, university and agro-based industrial use. The proximal distance to the CBD would attract both external and domestic entrepreneurs to invest in both real estate and commercial property development. 83 | P a g e Figure 27: Growth Nodes in Mazabuka District Figure 24: Growth areas in Mazabuka District 84 | P a g e

4.2 Protection of environmentally sensitive areas A spatial strategy aimed at protecting valuable natural, economic or heritage resources, such as agricultural land, wetlands, ecological corridors or scenic landscapes. Protection may be required for parts of settlements (e.g. the establishment of a network of green spaces in urban areas) or parts of the IDP area (e.g. rural landscapes outside of settlements). A spatial strategy based upon the principles of protection must be backed up by development control policies and strategies. Mazabuka has vast natural resources and a strategic approach is required to achieve effective urban environment protection. The strategies for urban environment protection and green network development are as follows; i. Provide urban environment protection and green management program in order to formulate strategic interventions for environmental protection ii. To establish sustainable urban design in order to protect the destruction of natural reserve forest and damage of natural habitats and biodiversity iii. To formulate a “green belt zone” maintaining mainly agriculture land and other natural green spaces, functioning as buffer for urban sprawl and environmental and recreational network iv. To formulate spatial network for urban green environment which include street greening, open space, and suburban agriculture belt and recreational activities parks, sports pitches and walkways or cycling lanes a. FORESTS - Magoye Forest Reserve and Magoye South Forest. Forests are essential to life as they help to regulate our climate. They are second only to the oceans as the largest global store of carbon. Up to 80% of the terrestrial biodiversity and more than 1 billion people depend on the forests for their livelihood. Mazabuka district has two major forest reserves; Magoye Forest Reserve and Magoye South Forest. To ensure environmental protection the strategies include; Produce, Protect and Restoration of the forests. While protecting these forests is essential, on its own it’s not enough. To prevent the worst impacts of climate change and safeguard the districts biodiversity, there is need to restore these forest areas. b. River Banks Mazabuka district has two major rivers, Magoye River and Kafue River. To ensure river bank protection buffering of 50m along the river banks will be undertaken and; i. Planting of more trees along the river and to avoid deforestation within the set proximities of the river. ii. Use of brushes on the river edge.

4.3 Development corridors Corridors are areas along major transportation routes where an increased intensity of development will naturally be attracted and may be encouraged. Development Corridors are proposed along the great North road with the view of intensifying developments along the road. The corridor will attract mixed- use developments that make the highest and best use of land by encouraging businesses to set-up faster. 85 | P a g e An alternative by pass route on the Great north road that will channel traffic from the CBD, the by-pass route will create an additional development corridor. This corridor will reinforce a hierarchy of nodes with varying development intensities. The corridors with mixed-use zones will be supported by public transport infrastructure, such as gazetted bus stations and public conveniences. The main idea for the mixed-use corridor zoning in Mazabuka district is to provide areas for the variety of activities, including commercial offices and high- density residential uses or a mixture of land uses. The purpose of the Mixed- Use Corridor in Mazabuka district: a. Transform Mazabuka District into a remarkable, walkable and exciting corridor, home to a variety of residential and non-residential uses. b. To allow higher intensity residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings to provide the appropriate height relative to the width of the road. Housing developments will be promoted in the corridor. The idea of these corridors is to minimize travelling costs and increase accessibility to employment opportunities, particularly for the agricultural dependent communities along these transport routes. The promotion of the corridor is to ensure efficient service provision and avoid extending municipal infrastructure to places where economic activity is very low. With the mixed-use corridor, commercial and residential uses will enjoy access to transportation infrastructure provided in a less expensive manner and the extensions to municipal services kept to a minimum. Figure 25: Showing developed corridors Source: MMC 86 | P a g e

4.4 Urban growth management i. Land Readjustment of Titled Land North of Mazabuka and Re-planning of Mazabuka CBD The SDF embarks on a process of land readjustment to recover re-plan and re-develop the land north of the district. The affected land consists of land which is on title held mostly by commercial farmers and the process would also involve compensation and re-planning of land to allow for expansion of the township and the CBD. The CBD will be re-planned to make it more vibrant and ensure maximum use of the space. The land readjustment would target private land owners in order to engage them in planning agreements and recover land which would be placed on the open market for investment. This will contribute to meeting the objective on promoting orderly spatial development in Mazabuka Township. In addition, this will contribute to the vision of the district to create liveable and resilient settlements due to its limited coverage in terms of surface area; ii. Densification and Infill Densification will be achieved through effective urban growth control and intensive infrastructure provision in the guided ‘Urban Development Promotion Area’ by appropriate administration against urban sprawl, while other areas will be strictly controlled. This will be fundamental in maximizing efficient land utilization in the urban part of the district guiding the private sector development, given by economic development incentives of the sugarcane industry. This is aimed at increasing population thresholds in a given area. This approach has been adopted to promote more compact urban development that makes the most efficient use of existing services and network infrastructure (water supply, sewerage, roads, and electricity). Mazabuka like most districts has experienced urban development expanding towards the protected areas and ecologically sensitive areas. Strategies aimed at densification and infills are expected to reduce the rate of urban sprawl and encroachment to these protected areas and ecologically sensitive areas. The development on such areas has negative impact on human settlements which include human life and property. The SDF discourages urban sprawl by promoting densified community development adjacent to existing urban areas. This will encourage efficient use of the existing infrastructure in the urban centres. Access to the public transport system is a major consideration in ensuring a multi-modal public transport system. The SDF has arranged the land uses in a manner that promotes the development and use of an efficient public transport system structured along major transport corridors. Proposed commercial development and community use will be prioritised on land within and close to the existing built-up areas. It will also prevent the leapfrogging of development, which is expensive from a bulk services provision perspective. iii. Containment Mazabuka has vast natural resources and a strategic approach is required to achieve effective urban environmental protection. the district Create and maintain green belt zones to maintain mainly agriculture land and other natural green spaces, functioning as buffer against urban sprawl and environmental and recreational network are strategizes to ensure containment (the content is not clear/connecting). Containment is a spatial strategy that limits inefficient low-density development i.e. urban sprawl, particularly on the urban edges. Despite Mazabuka’s urban area being surrounded by 87 | P a g e commercial farmers; it has uncoordinated land use zones especially on encroached farms and potential for promoting urban sprawl especially on the southern part of the district. The areas that have sprawled are human settlements characterized with informal structures that have no proper planning and development controls applied to them. The SDF has outlined the urban area to contain physical development and re-direct growth towards a more integrated, compact and efficient urban form, guided by Local Area Plans and the strategy of densification. Containment will ensure restricted expansion into protected areas and ecologically sensitive zones particularly ground and surface water recharge areas and heritage sites; Protection of agricultural land; and optimising the cost of providing bulk municipal services, roads and public facilities, such as markets and open spaces. 88 | P a g e Figure 26: Densification in Mazabuka District Page | 89

4.5 Land Use Planning Policies and Proposals This section highlights policies and proposals that the IDP will utilize to ensure effective and efficient Land Use Planning

4.5.1 Increasing Needs of Urban Infrastructure, Social and Economic aspects of development Inadequate housing backlog, insufficient infrastructure and social services, and undeveloped open space and recreational facilities were identified as the major issues concerning living environment for Mazabuka residents. Therefore, improving the environmental, social, and economic aspects of development is critical and the following land use policies will be applied: 1. Promote low-income and affordable housing through effective land use zoning and provision of bulk municipal infrastructure services. There is need to intensify development around existing public open spaces and through change of land use, re- planning and subdivision 2. Increase infill development on vacant land to increase population density along development corridors and in nodes 3. Strengthen the existing major bus routes and commuter routes by enhancing the viability of public transport systems through corridor development and provision of last mile public facilities; implementation of corresponding counter measures such as bypass road to enhance safety in the CBD 4. Promote corridor development along the major public transport routes to increase density in existing areas; 5. Reduce urban sprawl through densification and setting of urban development standards for building footprints and encouraging high rise buildings 6. Integrate greenfield development into existing road transport systems; and 7. Increase environmental protection by paying attention more to environmental considerations rather than cadastral boundaries in the provision of public infrastructure.

4.5.2 Specific protection zones, areas of environmental sensitivity and areas of importance for disaster management purposes Mazabuka is endowed with vast natural resources which include forests, underground water, flat terrain, good climatic conditions, and fertile soils. It is a productive region for crops especially Sugar, Maize and livestock farming. However the district is susceptible to droughts and flash floods which often destroy roads cutting off certain areas. The IDP has developed specific policies to protect areas of environmental sensitivity, as areas where disaster management is needed. These policies are to: 1. Protect river banks, prevention of illegal sand mining and cultivation in river banks 2. Protect stream reserves and aquifer regions through “No grant of Planning permission” in these areas; 3. Increase the proportion of the district under forest cover through gazetting areas as community and protected forests; 4. Reinforce environmental education and awareness programmes on natural resource management and disaster risk reduction; 5. Develop a regional risk reduction and mitigation plan to respond to all forms of disasters, including climate change; Page | 90 6. Support and strengthen forest management practices in the region through the use of modern information technology and communication to enhance forest safety; 7. Promote alternative livelihood approaches that are not dependent on the harvesting of forest resources

4.5.3 Strengthening the existing Sugar Cane Production The major land use policies to be implemented under this plan to support the industry are to: 1. Protect the biodiversity of the South Luangwa National Park as a natural habitat from all forms of development; 2. Promote the effective land use and development control to expand and redirect sugarcane growing 3. Promote the development of mixed-use business corridors along the great North road to effectively enhance regional trade and investments 4. Develop regional infrastructure to strengthen trade and commerce in the country and southern African region. 5. Promote the setting up of strategic infrastructure and growth areas to promote value addition and inflow of diverse populations for the promotion of sugar cane and confectionary production 6. Increase access to the use of the Great North Road through the improvement of multimodal transport systems

4.5.4 Informal Settlements Improvement and Management Responses Managing informal settlements requires political will and appropriate financial resources for design and basic infrastructure provision. Dedicated programmes have been outlined by the local authority to upgrade the informal settlements as follows: 1. Increase access to land for infill development in order to promote in-situ formalisation of settlements; 2. Prevent the expansion of informal settlements into agricultural lands and ecologically sensitive zones through containment; 3. Promote housing resettlement schemes that are integrated and within the development corridors along the major transport routes; and 4. Strengthen development control

4.5.5 Areas under the jurisdiction of traditional authorities and proposed policies and proposals for those areas Areas under Traditional Authorities are government by Section 25 of the Urban and Regional Planning Act of 2015 of the Laws of Zambia. The IDP proposes entering into planning agreements with traditional leaders with the following policies and proposal for consideration: 1. Preparation of local area plans through community-based approaches 2. Increase access to services through land allocation that take into account social services, such as education, health, and areas for public facilities. 3. Promote communal spaces such as recreational open spaces, grazing land 91 | P a g e 4. Promote Greenfield developments that are well planned and with strict adherence to environmental conditions of the area. Prevent Developments in ecologically sensitive areas 5. Encourage compatible use of land and avoid piece meal conversion of land 6. Reservation of land for future developments 7. Increase the population densities through effective land use zoning where residential areas and farms are arranged under group use. Mixed-use developments to be created on basis of compatibility of function.

4.6 Phasing of the Development Plans Taking into consideration of all the needs and plans outlined, the development will be phased as outlined in this section. Phase 1 (2021-2024) 1. Complete the planning, surveying and allocation of land in the north of the district for expansion of the town ship 2. Secure the Planning Agreement for application of re-planning of the Mazabuka township for sustainable expansion of the settlement; 3. 3) Secure the Planning Agreement for planning of land around ZIAH area; 4. Upgrading of 2 informal settlements and regularization of unplanned settlements (Zambia compound and Kaleya compund, ); ChangaChanga area, Riverview and West villa 5. Enhance development control in order to ensure sustainable growth of the growth centres; 6. Promote land use change and subdivision of land in order to facilitate investment in the growth poles; 7. Promote development of housing projects in each of the key growth centres; 8. Provide amenities such as schools, clinics and other social services lacking in the rural parts of the district. Phase 2 (2025-2030) 1. Complete re-planning of (5) proposed growth centre; 2. Completion of By Pass road 3. Development of support infrastructure (residential, commercial and light industrial, agricultural, transport and telecommunication) in all the key growth centres; 4. Secure Planning Agreements for all expansion areas around the growth centres; 5. Provide amenities such as schools, clinics and other social services lacking in the rural parts of the district. 6. 6) Promote business linkages between the growth centres and the periphery. 92 | P a g e CHAPTER FIVE

5.0 Implementation Plan Necessary projects and programs for the Mazabuka integrated development plan are proposed encompassing the transportation development, social services upgrading, green network development, and industrial promotion. Development cost of the necessary projects and programs are estimated at USD $16,755,266.49 (equivalent to ZMK 357, 557,387) to be earmarked for the public development expenditure during the next 13 years until the year 2035. Priority projects and programs to be implemented by 2025 are selected on account of i) Priority, ii) Effectiveness, iii) Viability, iv) Environmental sustainability Page | 93 Table 27: Implementation Plan ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION Objective 1: To promote orderly development in and around key Growth Centres Target year Strategies Programmes Activities Location baseline 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Indicators Responsible Agency/Dept Engage Preparation of Identify land by way Mwanachingwala 2 1 - - LA/ Department of Traditional Planning of Engaging Hanjalika Chiefs and Leadership in Agreements appropriate Naluama traditional affairs/ order to come traditional Traditional up with Planning structures and Leadership.

The core development issues identified in the consultative process were mainly related to poor road and other social related infrastructure, amenities and social services, low economic development, and environmental degradation. Poor state of feeder roads and lack of access to urban markets and trading places, limited livestock (and irrigation) infrastructure, access to primary health care, long distances to schools and high prevalence orphans. Further issues included low water supply, limited waste management, poor urban planning, inadequate cemeteries, effects of climate change on livestock and crops, encroachment of forests, deforestation and soil erosion, and water pollution. The consultations revealed that access to finance and land especially among women was a challenge. These constituted core issues affecting the economic development in the IDP area. Significant areas of intervention in the IDP were identified as increasing agricultural productivity, promoting the manufacturing industry; promoting accessibility and developing public transport infrastructure, strengthening the regional economy through economic diversification and value addition and ensuring sustainable access to natural resources through environmental protection and conservation. The priority areas were aligned to the five pillars of the Seventh National Development Plan and consequent plans for ease in budgeting, monitoring and evaluation of the plan. The preparation of the IDP was an inclusive and consultative process in which various key stakeholders were involved. The Council held various consultative meetings with communities and the traditional leadership to come up with this Planning Tool that intends to guide all the programs and activities across all sectors in the District. The formulation of the IDP was supported by GIZ and the government of the Republic of Zambia through technical and financial support. Page | 158 References Baumle et al (2007).

This was done through consultative meetings, community consultations and office to office engagement. Community consultation meetings were held at Mweka Lodge on 17th July 2020 and another one at Lusumpuko Hall on 10th December 2020. The meetings had representations from Ward Development Committees (WDCs), ward councillors and Traditional leader’s representatives from the two (02) Chiefdoms who were all very instrumental during the deliberations as they brought out important issues from the community, ward and chiefdom perspectives to be included in the Integrated Development Plan (IDP). And at this point, submissions were done according to wards as each ward had different problems and challenges and these problems were listed according to priorities. Two similar consultative meetings were held for stakeholders such as SWASCO, ZESCO, as well as line ministries who brought out practical, objective and valuable data for the IDP. This particular group of stakeholders highlighted a number of issues that was much needed in the development of the IDP. Refer to the appendix II, III, IV and V for copies of minutes for stakeholder engagement, attendance lists and photos. COUNCIL RESOLUTION Mazabuka district adopted the preparation of the Integrated Development Plan in 2018 under minute Number PLANNING PROGRAMME STAKEHOLDER MAPPING Various stakeholders were engaged at different levels during the formulation of Mazabuka IDP. Stakeholders were identified through various representation they offer in the district. Based on this, line Ministries were identified representing the government at various levels, WDCs were identified representing wards, Chief Representatives were also identified who were representing various chiefdoms, CBOs and NGOs were also identified to represent various groupings in the district. Stakeholders were first and foremost sampled based on their activeness in the District Development Coordinating Committee (DDCC) and thereafter, a simple random selection was applied on the remaining stakeholders. Annex VI shows a list of stakeholders engaged at various stages of the IDP. APPLIED PLANNING PROCESS AND PUBLIC CONSULTATION Main issues in the IDP were arrived at through various meeting which were held. The IDP team were using focused group discussions to collect data. The IDP team did not receive any objections during this process. Below is the list of core problems which were identified during the stakeholder engagement; Poor road network in the district (Kaleya sugar road from VRS) 160 | P a g e • Inadequate funding for most government departments • Lack of health post in Dumba and Kabobola/Nachipoma and the Estate • Lack of primary school at Chalimbana (Munenga Ward) • Lack of police post (Chivuna, Kabobola and Munenga) • Lack of Milk processing industry in the district • Inadequate staffing levels in government departments thereby compromising service delivery • Lack of enough staff houses for teachers in the district • Lack mining industry in Nkonkola • Inadequate infrastructure for government departments • Lack of game reserve industry in Nkonkola ward. • Lack of space for burial sites • Bad drainage and road networks. • Inadequate water and sanitation facilities. • High unemployment levels. • By-pass route not done leading to increased accidents and loss of life Public consultations were held in three places which are Lusumpuko Hall, Royal Laricio and Mweka Lodge. Number of participants and gender disaggregation can be seen from Annex IV attached which shows attendance list of the meeting. Furthermore, people with special needs were engaged through the Zambia Agency for Disabilities. CONSULTATION WITH TRADITIONAL LEADERS Consultations with traditional leaders were done mainly through chief representatives who were invited at two stages of the IDP which are Issues and Survey Report and Development Framework. Annex IV and V shows the attendance list and photos showing chief representatives attending the public consultation meeting. CONCLUSION The IDP consultation were inclusive and can be said to have represented the district. However, the Traditional leadership were not vigorously engaged as the IDP only dealt with chief representatives on two occasions. Based on the engagement and public consultation conducted, it is safe to say that Mazabuka IDP meets the aspiration of the people of Mazabuka. Once the IDP is approved and appropriately implemented, It is envisaged that every person in the district will benefit from the plans and programmes of the IDP in different ways. 161 | P a g e Appendix II: Minutes for stakeholder engagement meeting at Mweka Lodge MINUTES OF THE CONSULTATIVE MEETING FOR INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN HELD ON 17 TH JULY 2020 AT MWEKA LODGE 1.0 PRESENT Refer to attached attendance list
