Question

Give an account citing practical examples of how Zambia is using projects to bring development and improve the living conditions of Zambian people in the rural areas and the urban poor

Expert Solution
Step 1

Zambia is a peaceful, stable country that is roughly three times the size of the UK. It is located in south-central Africa and borders eight other nations. It is one of the top 10 African economies with the quickest growth rates and is rich in natural resources like copper and hydropower. The bulk of Zambians, who frequently live on less than US $ 1.25 a day and are still below the poverty line, have not seen much of an advantage from growth. Additionally, the environment has been negatively impacted by booming industries like mining and construction (through land degradation, energy consumption, and pollution).
