Green Growth for Zambia
Chipoka says the EELA project will promote energy efficiency, sustainable industrialization, and job creation across all provinces, supporting low-carbon growth and Zambia’s long-term development goals. By Francis Maingaila ♥️ Lusaka, Zambia24 – (03-09-2025) - Zambia has launched the Energy Efficiency for Sustainable Livelihoods in Africa (EELA) Zambia Country Window Project, a strategic initiative aimed at promoting industrial growth, job creation, and environmental sustainability. Zambia has faced persistent energy challenges over the past decade, with frequent power deficits affecting households, industries, and essential services. The country relies heavily on hydroelectric power, making it vulnerable to climate variability and drought. These energy constraints have contributed to reduced industrial productivity, increased production costs, and slow economic growth. The EELA project emerges against this backdrop, aiming to optimize energy use, reduce reliance on co...
