Transportation: The Key to Effective Last-Mile Distribution in Zambia
An effective health service comprises many components, including a well-functioning supply chain; the availability of commodities at the health facility is one key part of the logistics system that ensures the end user can receive the health service they need. Delivering health commodities to the last mile, the point of service delivery, involves many processes and several modes of transportation. Commodities must come from manufacturers— often in foreign countries—to national warehouses, then to local storage units, and finally to the local health facility. In the countries where the USAID | DELIVER PROJECT implements supply chain programs, logisticians employ several models for the delivery of health supplies to service delivery points.Jun 22, 2015

Zambia ICT Sector Performance Review 2009/2010
The Zambia telecommunications sector has achieved significant and positive development over the last decade. Building on the 1994 watershed reforms, which opened the market to new entrants, the sector has experienced rapid growth, albeit starting from a very low base. However, low penetration rates and high prices prevailing in the market place suggest that the market is still largely underdeveloped and that there is room for considerably more competition.
