Zambia: Proposed manufacturing plant to cater for rising demand

The ministry of communications and transport in Zambia is proposing to build an ICT manufacturing plant, which will produce computers, television sets, telephone handsets and other electronic goods. The available inputs for this greenfield opportunity include affordable skilled labour, land and a working transport and logistics infrastructure. The government aims to reduce the cost of importing and create jobs in the manufacturing sector.

An Environmental Impact Assessment is essential and potential investors must comply with the provisions of the Companies Act.

 Local manufacture and assembly of ICT equipment is classified as a priority area, and has special benefits in the ICT sector incentives outlined in the Zambia Development Authority (ZDA) Act. General incentives are provided for in various other Acts.
