    Chiansi Irrigation, Zambia

    For subsistence farmers in a dry and dusty region 45kms south of Zambia’s capital Lusaka, the abundant source of water that would transform their livelihoods has never been far away.

The key innovation of this project is in delivering the benefits of large-scale farming (through commercial irrigation) to small-scale, poor farmers, many of whom are regularly dependent on weekly food aid to subsist.

    AICD Country Report: Zambia’s Infrastructure

    A Continental Perspective

    This study is a product of the Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD), a project designed to expand the world’s knowledge of physical infrastructure in Africa.

It also offers a solid empirical foundation for prioritizing investments and designing policy reforms in Africa’s infrastructure sectors.  The focus of the AICD country reports is on benchmarking sector performance and quantifying the main financing and efficiency gaps at the country level. These reports are particularly relevant to national policy makers and development partners working on...
