The #IRPZambia will be identifying and promoting sources of financing, such as the Energy Access Relief Fund, to make access to electricity possible for all Zambians by 2030. @UKinZambia @FCDOGovUK @mjtarney_zambia @chalwe_karen

We're working with a range of local and international stakeholders to improve access to clean water in #Lusaka West, attract investments in #water infrastructure, create jobs and improve health outcomes for the local residents. Read about it at https://t.co/oM68h6tJqA @UKinZambia

We’re supporting @Roadsafetyz & @lusaka_city to plan Zambia's first #carfreeday this Sunday! Join the campaign for #openstreets by walking, cycling, socialising and spending time with family in a safe environment on ChaChaCha Road and surrounding areas. @KennedyGondwe @UKinZambia

As I walked through this #Ottawa underpass for the first time last weekend to get to Fairmont Park, seeing the Rhinos brought me joy as I moved through otherwise barren urban infrastructure. I am saddened to see the loss of this artwork.

Rhinos
06/04/21 - 14/04/21

An actual person at MTO ordered this.
The government workers are speaking loudly in a visual language: Our markings are more important. They are communicating aggressiveness, elitism and indifference. Sadly this is also happening to real, live Rhinos

#CarFreeDay events are popping up around the world in response to the need for public space during the Covid-19 pandemic. As a cyclist, I'm happy that @CIGZambia is supporting the first Car Free Day in #Lusaka, which will be along Chachacha Road on Sunday 18th April @Cowater_Intl

[Cities and Infrastructure for Growth Zambia @CIGZambia]

We're proud to support @Roadsafetyz and @lusaka_city as they host Zambia's first ever #carfreeday on 18th April along Chachacha Road. Car free days address congestion and road safety by promoting walking, cycling and safe socialising. @mengedlesew #openstreets @UKinZambia
