Zambian mining policy

Zambian mining policy aims to promote sustainable growth and local development by encouraging responsible private sector investment in mineral extraction. It emphasizes maintaining government oversight and ensuring that mineral resources benefit the country economically, socially, and environmentally. Policies focus on transparency, fair regulations, and encouraging value addition within Zambia rather than exporting raw materials. The goal is to balance attracting investment with safeguarding national interests and community well-being, fostering economic diversification and long-term prosperity through a transparent and stable mining sector.
