This report investigates the potential for building business linkages between micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the construction industry in Zambia and large domestic and international companies and investors. It adopts a step-by-step methodology, taking international firms and property developers through the full process of doing business in the low and middle-income housing sector in Zambia – highlighting opportunities to partner with local government. Zambia’s long-term development objective, as articulated in the National Vision 2030, is “to become a prosperous middle-income country by the year 2030.” The associated goals call for policies that accelerate and sustain economic growth, and which enable the poor to participate in, and benefit from, the growth process. The theme of the Fifth National Development Plan is Achieving Broad-Based Wealth and Job Creation. The Zambia Green Jobs Programme will contribute to this objective, in particular by stimulating investment, entrepreneurship, and decent employment creation within the MSME sector and through the adoption of ‘pro-poor’ business models. The program seeks to unlock the job creation potential of the rapidly growing building construction sector in Zambia and aims to strengthen the value chain for green building goods and services, from local production of environmentally friendly building materials through to more energy efficient building design . The building construction industry, especially the residential housing sub-sector in particular, offers excellent potential for enabled MSMEs to adopt internationally competitive, state-of the-art sustainable construction methods.
