Government has reaffirmed its commitment to inclusive and equitable infrastructure development aimed at transforming rural communities and enhancing service delivery across the country.
This assurance was made during a joint monitoring tour of strategic infrastructure projects under the Lake Tanganyika Development Project (LTDP) in Nsumbu, Nsama District.
The delegation was led by Douty Chibamba, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment, and Albert Malama, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development.
The team inspected ongoing works at Nsumbu Trades Training Institute, Kasaba Bay Secondary Boarding School, Nsumbu Market and Tanganyika Radio Station, all of which are being constructed with support from the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
Dr. Chibamba underscored government’s commitment to delivering socio-economic infrastructure that empowers citizens and strengthens the conservation of natural resources.
“The construction of these facilities reflects the governments deep respect for its citizens and public service workers who are the backbone of the communities served,” said Dr. Chibamba in statement issued to RCV News in Lusaka today.
Meanwhile, Northern Province Permanent Secretary Bernard Mpundu described the projects as a major milestone and a testament to government’s deliberate investment in rural infrastructure transformation.
