AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

School Feeding Partnership: Zambia’s Ministry of Education and Food4Education have signed an MoU to strengthen the national school feeding system, currently reaching 4.6 million children in 8,193 schools, with plans to scale to 5.6 million by end-2026, focusing on policy, programme design, data and digital innovation, and financing. Muchinga Development Push: President Hakainde Hichilema toured Nakonde, Mafinga, Isoka and Chinsali, promising airport-driven investment and jobs at Mwenzo, feeder road upgrades via higher CDF allocations, more FISP beneficiaries and timely Food Reserve Agency payments, plus water and communications improvements. Mining & Tax Confidence: Zambia’s mining tax reforms are credited with rebuilding investor confidence, while the Zambia Revenue Authority says domestic revenue’s share of the budget has risen from 49.6% (2021) to a projected 73.1% (2026) through tax reforms and modernised systems. Energy Investment: Navitas Planet secured a $20m EPC contract for a 54MW solar project in Serenje, expected to run in 7–8 months, as Zambia expands solar to diversify power beyond hydropower. Regional Trade & Connectivity: Zambia, China and Tanzania reaffirmed commitment to revitalise TAZARA at its 50th anniversary, with renewed focus on regional connectivity. National Loss: Former Vice-President Guy Scott died at 82; he served as acting president in 2014–2015 and received a state funeral.
