Zambia has began to record a downward trend of HIV/AIDS prevalence rate among the young age group and overall stabilization of HIV rates since 1993 both in rural and urban areas.
Zambia welcomes many initiatives such as the creation of the Global Fund for HIV/AIDS and Health, which we understand to mean a concerted multilateral effort to accelerate action to tackle the major communicable diseases.
Zambia will, therefore, be making modest financial contribution to the Fund as a sign of our commitment to this global effort.

 Contemporary Review: Zambia's future—After its elections
ZAMBIA is a landlocked and sparsely populated country, with ten million people, made up of more than seventy ethnic groups, living in an area the size of France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland combined.
President Mwanawasa is constitutionally permitted to nominate eight members of parliament, but even with this the MMD still falls short by four seats to equal the opposition.
The notion that the new president has surrounded himself with recycled, corrupt and discredited politicians is very strong in Lusaka as is the idea that, as The Post newspaper of Lusaka put it, Mwanawasa 'is a president of Frede rick Chiluba, by Chiluba for Chiluba'.

 Famine-hit Zambia Rejects GM Food Aid BBC 29oct02
Zambia needs 21,000 tonnes of food aid a month to feed more than 2.5 million people in the drought-hit south of the country.
And it seems to us that the president of Zambia is a very wise man to refuse the trash that is fed to the people of the US by the transnational agribusiness.
The heated debate following Zambia's decision not to change its GM food legislation has however left many wondering about the stubbornness of Zambia's President Levy Mwanawasa and environmental groups not to allow GM foods as millions are left hungry.
