Zambia is endowed with adorable natural resources which, if given fine and precise touch, could result in products that can easily attract consumers in and around the country.

The timber products, coupled with metal fabrication, will not only bring the much needed income but also help to mitigate furniture challenges through innovations in remote, rural and urban areas. Therefore, embracing Design and Technology will help in the transformation of the economy through practical activities in food and fashion, material processing and systems technologies.

The focus will be to use locally available materials, in different areas, to create and provide products and services that are competitive and market-ready. Some of the products will be used by the institutions themselves while others will be put on the market to generate the much-needed income by the institutions.

Currently Zambian schools are characterized with considerably low levels of entrepreneurship activities to trade PU goods and services. This is evident by the lack of viable distribution channels through which these products and services can be bought and sold.

Learning institutions and education offices can venture into production unit activities that involve wholesale and retail trade. The Wholesale and Retail Production Units will be used to see the comprehensive value chain of products. Production Unit will not focus only on Agro PU based activities but include all other activities where all stakeholders will be involved to undertake activities which will lead to generation of income.

To ensure that local raw products and services through Partnerships from different PU ventures are maximally utilized, the stakeholders must set up distribution strategies, find cooperating partners within and outside the type of PU venture being undertaken and their geographical locations. This will lead to not only a reflux of inter and intra linkages within the local communities as well as among various institutions but also increased income sources to the learning institutions and education offices engaged in different PU ventures.

Strategy 1: Venture into Associated Wholesale and Retail Enterprise

This strategy will be achieved through the following programmes;

• Provide associated wholesale and retail services
• Research and Marketing on associated wholesale and retail services

Strategy 2: Establish Partnerships

This strategy will be achieved through the following programmes;

• Research and Marketing on associated partnerships

Zambia is endowed with vast natural resources and many tourism attraction sites whose features include, among others, the Victoria Falls, variety of species of wild life resources, varied scenery, diverse culture and national heritages.

Moreover, the country has conducive weather patterns, warm and friendly people. All these attract the tourists from all parts of the globe making Zambia with full potential for tourism productivity.

Currently, Zambia’s tourism sector is underdeveloped with limited investments in the sector. This has been coupled with inadequate promotion and marketing. Moreover, there is low participation by locals in tourism developmental activities. PUs will promote the expansion in the tourism industry by promoting domestic tourism development enabling learning institutions understand the importance of quality infrastructure, services and products that go with tourism and hospitality.
