Government has paid tribute to the European Union (EU), donors and other cooperating partners for assisting Zambia in building the capacity of the road transport sector.
Minister of Transport and Communications Kapembwa Simbao said government recognises the important role donors and all cooperating partners play in realising government’s vision of having a safe and maintainable core road network.
Mr. Simbao said a good road network is crucial to reducing poverty among the people in the country as it facilitates quick and safe passage of goods and services.
The Minister was speaking in Lusaka today at the stakeholders meeting for the Capacity Building to the Zambia Road Transport Sector Programme.
And the European Union (EU) has announced the allocation of K60 million towards the Capacity Building of the Zambia Road Transport Sector Programme.
EU Ambassador to Zambia Alessandro Mariani said the allocation will be implemented through long and short term technical assistance and on demand driven basis.
Mr. Mariani expressed hope that the capacity building project will lead to measurable improvements in the systems and procedures for highway and road asset management both at national and local levels.
He has since praised Zambia for prioritising the preservation of existing road infrastructure and at the same time implementing new road projects throughout the country.
This is all they know..forever begging..no shame whatsoever!!
