Honorary representation in Uganda
George Baguma is the portal’s listed Honorary Consul for Zambia. The local office’s contact and appointment details remain to be confirmed.
The Lusaka forum brought together institutions and businesses from both countries. Agriculture, processing, energy, tourism and manufacturing were among the areas discussed.
A useful proposal identifies the partner, purpose and contribution on each side. Begin with the appropriate agency or institution and agree a realistic next step.
A clear requirement. A suitable counterpart. A practical route forward.
Start with the product, service or operational need. Identify the intended customer and the contribution expected from each partner.
The Zambia Development Agency provides investment, enterprise and export information. Use it to frame the enquiry, then confirm sector conditions and the requirements for the particular activity.
The falls are one introduction. A river at dawn, a lakeside community or a busy street in Lusaka adds another perspective on Zambia.
Look at the everyday relationship between the landscape and the people who use it. Local knowledge gives a fuller understanding than a photograph alone.
Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria FallsMosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls
The Zambezi falls and their gorges form a World Heritage property shared by Zambia and Zimbabwe. The landscape is best understood through both its natural setting and conservation needs.
The Luangwa River and its surrounding habitats support a rich wildlife setting. Plan with recognised local guides and confirm current access and seasonal conditions.
A river procession. A royal tradition. A community gathered.
Kuomboka is associated with the Litunga and the Lozi people of western Zambia. The ceremony marks a seasonal journey from the floodplain to higher ground, with the Nalikwanda royal barge at its centre.
Approach the occasion as a living cultural tradition. Follow hosts’ instructions and confirm permissions for attendance, photography and the use of cultural material.
Assess the course, institution, teaching language, recognition and full costs before planning a study journey or proposing an exchange.
University information
Find a programme. Check its requirements.
The University of Zambia publishes international student and programme information. Confirm the exact admission process, current fees and accommodation arrangements directly with the university.
Teaching, research and professional development proposals need named institutions and a clear scope. Agree supervision, funding, permissions and expected outcomes before committing.
Before applying or proposing an exchange
Verify recognition, admission, funding and immigration requirements. An exchange arrangement depends on the institutions involved; this page does not promise a scholarship, placement or admission.
