1. INTRODUCTION
GENERAL DISTRICT CHARACTERISTICS
Figure 1: Location of Itezhi tezhi District
LOCATION
Itezhi-tezhi is one of the eleven districts of the Central Province of Zambia.
It is located in the south-western part of the Province and lies at approximately 175km north of Mumbwa and 62Km West of Namwala District across the Kafue River on the North Bank. It is situated 26 degrees South and 15 degrees East and shares boarders with other districts namely:Luampa in the west, Kazungula and Kalomo in south-west, Choma in the south, Namwala in the south-east and Mazabuka in the east. Itezhi-tezhi district has an approximate surface area of about 15000 square kilometers.
GENERAL PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DISTRICT
CLIMATE
Itezhi-tezhi District has three distinct seasons: the rainy season from November to April; the cold season from May to July; and the hot season from August to October. The average mean rainfall is 40mm. The district experiences seasonal geographical barriers; this is mainly due to the landscape in which the district lies. Most areas particularly those in the Kafue basin get flooded during the rainy season, consequently become impassable between the months of November to May
The temperatures range between 8 degrees centigrade in the cold season and 36 degrees centigrade in the hot dry season. This climate is favourable for agriculture but the local people have not yet realized this potential, mostly due to unaffordable prices of agricultural inputs.
TOPOGRAPHY
Swampy plains through which the Kafue River passes cover about 60% of the district. This plain, commonly known as the Kafue Flats, floods every year. The flood renders most of the roads virtually impassable for a period of over four months. The “Flats” also offer infinite breeding grounds to mosquitoes, hence the high incidence of malaria in the district. The remaining 40% is highland covered by thick forests. Part of the forest is designated as the Kafue National Park. This has resulted into limited land for farming purposes. Hills and savannah type of vegetation characterize the forestland.
Soil structure in the plains is muddy clay while in highlands it varies from sandy terrain to rocky/ loamy soil in the northern part. The poor soil texture negatively affects food production capacity of the district, thereby resulting into a relatively high incidence of malnutrition, especially among the under five children.
HYDROLOGY
The Kafue River is the biggest river in the district and it is from this river that a magnificent man-made lake emanates. This lake, called Lake Itezhi-Tezhi resulted from a ZESCO dam that was constructed across the Kafue River in 1976. The lake serves as a reservoir for generation of electricity at Kafue Gorge. In addition, it offers livelihood to the local people through fishing and tourism. The Kafue River has four (4) main tributaries and these are; Nanzhila, Nkala, Luubwe and Kasaka, which dry up during the dry season.
VEGETATION
The vegetation cover can be divided in 2 ecological zones and these are:
(i) The Baroste influence of the sandy soils covered with Miombo woodlands. This is a result of the proximity of the district to Western province, particularly Kaoma district.
(ii) The low valleys with alluvial clay soil covered with the acacias and short grass on the highlands and hippo grass on the plains.
GENERAL DISTIRCT ADMINISTRATION
Itezhitezhi District is a former sub center of Namwala District Council. Due to increased social and economic activities in the area, the government decided to elevate it to District status in September 1997, establishing it as a District Council under Statutory Instrument No. 127 of 1997.
The District has most of the sector ministries. However, the District lacks office and staff accommodation. The following Government Departments, Parastatal companies and NGOs are present in the district:
1. Government departments which form the district central
Agriculture, Marketing & Co-operatives, Veterinary & Fisheries, National Agriculture Information Services, Forestry, Chiefs and Traditional Affairs. ZAWA, Council, Education, Community Development, Mother and Child Health, Police, National Registration, Immigration, OOP, ZANIS, ZESCO, ZAMTEL, ZAMPOST, Social Welfare, Community Development, ECR, IWAWA, Youth Cordinanting Committee, ITT Radio, Water aid &Tour Operators. 2. Parastatals include:-
ZAWA, ZESCO, ZAMTEL and ZAMPOST, ZNFU.
3. Private Companies
Itezhi Tezhi Power Cooperation – joint venture between Tata Africa and ZESCO.
4. Local non Governmental Organisations include:-
ECR, CRS, ZPCT, CDC, Youth in Good Governance, SACCORD, FODEP,
5. International NGOs currently operating in the district:-
There are no international NGOs currently operating in the District.
POLITICAL SYSTEM, GOVERNANCE AND TRADITIONAL LEADERSHIP
The district has one (1) Parliamentary Constituency and twelve (13) political wards. These are: Itezhitezhi, Luchena, Mbila, Basanga, Kaanzwa, Itumbi, Masemu, Lubanda, Luubwe, Banamwaze, Makunku, Nyambo and Kabulungwe Wards.
Figure 2: Political Boundaries Of The District
Traditionally, the district is divided into six (6) Chiefdoms namely:-
Chief Shimbizhi, Chief Kaingu, Chief Chilyabufu, Chief Muwezwa, Chief Shezongo and Chief Musungwa. There is no paramount Chief among these Chiefs. The Chiefs play an important role in the mobilization of their subjects for development projects.
The main tribe in the district is ILA. Culturally, the ILA people practice Ikubi (paying last respect to the dead after one year) and succession of widows through sexual cleansing. These cultural practices contribute to the high incidence of STD, HIV/AIDS in the District. (ITT district health profile).
Polygamous marriages are practiced on a large scale among the ILA people. In addition, extended family groupings are highly valued. As a result, most family sizes are big (about 812 members) and thus, inabilities to sustain them effectively on the annual household produce. The consequence is the high prevalence of malnutrition in the area.
DEMOGRAPHY:
The geographical nature of the district has greatly influenced the population distribution of the district. Most of the people have resorted to settling along the Kafue River or around Lake Itezhi-tezhi for economic purposes that is, fishing; some have settled in the urban area for formal employment and trading. The rest of the population is scattered all over the plain for purposes of cattle rearing. This scattered population distribution has posed a big problem in delivering services.
Itezhi-Tezhi district has a population of 68,599, with an annual growth rate of 4.8 % (CSO 2010).It has a surface area of approximately 15 000 sq. km, giving a population density of 4.6 persons per square kilometer. Generally Itezhi tezhi’s population is pre-dominantly rural. The urban population is only about 18,000 or 26 percent of the total district population.
The chart below shows the male and female population of the district in illustrated form.

The population percentages according to wards are illustrated by the chart below with Masemu wards having 14.3% and the lowest Kabulungwe staggering at 2.4 %.
LAND AND LAND USE
The Land comprises of the ILA forest, Sikaleta Forest, Kafue National Park and Namwala and Nkala Game Management Areas (GMAs). Traditional land is under Chiefdoms. These include Chiefs Shimbizhi, Kaingu, Chilyabufu, Muwezwa, Shezongo and Musungwa. There are also grazing land for animals that is the Nanzhila and Kafue plains. There is also some mining area in Chief Kaingu though at small scale. The District also has one Resettlement Scheme in Masasabi.
ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES
AGRICULTURE AND LIVESTOCK
Overall Goal: To facilitate and support the development of a sustainable, diversified and competitive agricultural sector that assures food and nutrition security, contributes to job creation and maximizes the sector’s contribution to GDP.
Itezhi-Tezhi district is located in Region II of Zambia agro-ecological zone with many dambos, perennial streams, and Kafue River and ground water bodies and generally receives rainfall ranging between 800-1000 mm annually. The district covers an area of 13,000 square kilometres and divided into ten (10) Veterinary and Agricultural camps of which three (3) are manned by Veterinary field staffs while ten (10) are manned by Agriculture field staff.
AGRICULTURE
Objective: To promote appropriate farming technologies in order to increase agricultural production, productivity and efficient management of agricultural produce and products for sustainable household and national food security.
The district is made up of small, medium and commercial farmers. The categorization is based on the farmland owned or cultivated by the farmer. A small scale farmer has up to 5 Ha of farmland while medium or emergent farmer has between 5 to 20 Ha of land. A farmer with more than 20 Ha of land is considered to be a commercial farmer.
According to the Ministry’s 2012 farmer census and by the above mentioned categorization, the district has a total of 7,220 small scale, 3,927 medium scale and 272 large scale farmers.
The total farm size for the district is estimated at 88,192 Ha while the total cultivated area is estimated at 30,056 Ha.
Crop production
Crop production in the district has improved over time. The district was predominantly livestock production district as per the Ila (indigenous inhabitants) custom. However, the migration of other tribes to the district such as the Tongas has seen the shift from livestock to crop production over the recent years.
Below is the 2013/14 crop production estimates for the district.

The yield per crop has improved greatly over time to an average of 2.5 Tons/Ha for maize among small and medium scale farmers. The intervention by the various stakeholders has proved to be of great help in improving yields in the district. Also the availability of good and genuine seed, the improvement in the FISP allocation and the introduction of some farming technologies such as conservation farming have led to improved yields for various crops.
Agricultural Extension
The district is divided into 10 agricultural camps and three(3) blocks serviced by ten (10) Agricultural Assistants and two(2) Agricultural Supervisors. This indicates an improvement in the number of extension staff in the department of agriculture with almost 100% camps manned. However, the district is vast and the officers find it difficult to reach all areas due to lack of transport and increases number of farmers requiring services. There is need for more district staff under the department of agriculture in order to improve service delivery to the farmers.
Crop Production and Extension SWOT Strengths:
• Availability of trained personnel
• Well defined operational structure
• Camp structure – zones and CACs
Weakness:
• Inadequate trained personnel
• Lack of office and staff accommodation
• Inadequate transport
• Inconsistence in resource release
• Inadequate office facilities and equipment
Opportunities:
• Availability of arable land and natural resource
• Collaborating partners
• water resource availability for irrigation projects
• Good political will towards development of Agricultural sector
Threats:
• Drought and flood prone areas
• Inadequate funding and staffing
• Political instability
• Poor crop marketing
AGRIBUSINESS AND MARKETING
The department has over the years prove to be crucial and an important part of the ministry. The department is in charge of timely market information provision and training of farmers in entrepreneurship skills. The commodity prices in the district vary from place to place and depend on the demand and supply. The maize prices for example have been increasing over the years while some commodities like vegetables are becoming available and reasonably priced in the district.
Over the years, the district has benefited from the FISP programme with a corresponding increase in the number of beneficiaries. As of 2014/15 season, the district was allocated 10,031 maize packs and 620 groundnut packs.
The Food Reserve Agency (FRA) in the District has also received overwhelming response from the farmers. As of 2013/14 season, the FRA targeted 37,000 x 50kg bags of white maize in the district. However, the FRA has since surpassed the target and have purchased over 229,000 x 50kg bags.
COOPERATIVES
The Department of Cooperatives helps in providing an enabling environment for the development of Cooperatives and other farmer organizations that will contribute to the economic growth and poverty reduction in the district. The Department also ensures that the Cooperators comply with Legal, Administrative and financial requirements and also ensures that they are aware and take full advantage of other business opportunities. Furthermore, it provides the periodic inspections and auditing to all the Cooperative Societies in the District.

Livestock Management and Diseases
The general livestock condition in the district is good. Farmers move their transhumant herds to the Kafue flood plains for grazing during the dry season and moved back when the plains are flooded. Among the Scheduled Diseases that are prevalent include Theileriosis, Anaplasmosis, Mange, Lumpy Skin Disease, Heartwater, Blackquarter and Newcastle disease.
Trypanosomiasis is prevalent in the district. This is obvious because of its proximity to the Kafue National Park where the infestation of the main vector, the tsetse fly is very high.
Livestock Infrastructure
The district has a total of 35 dip tanks at present which fall under both Government and private community categories and one (1) livestock service centre under construction in Lubanda Camp.
Livestock Products and Marketing
The most common livestock products sold in Itezhi-tezhi are Milk, both fresh and sour, Eggs, Minced meat and Sausages.
Itezhi-tezhi has no established abattoir hence Namwala provides the market for the Cattle from Itezhi-tezhi district through slaughters at Zambeef abattoir and Carcasses exported to Lusaka. The market for goats and pigs is shared between Lusaka and Kasumbalesa on the Copperbelt.
Extension and Research activities
The department of veterinary in the district has 10 camps of which only 4 are manned. The department is understaffed both at district and camp levels. The camps are vast and with the limited number of staff, the department cannot perform and meet targets.
At camp level, the district enjoys good transport as all of the 4 manned camps have running motorbikes. However, at the district the two vehicles are not in good condition and have become expensive to maintain.
Inadequate resource and facilities have hampered research activities in the department. However, collaboration with other stakeholders in some research areas and topics has been done together with the department.
Livestock Production SWOT
Strengths:
• Organized structure
• Trained staff
• Presence of Community Livestock Auxiliaries in some camps
• Manned camps mobile Weaknesses:
• Inadequate livestock extension services
• Lack of livestock facilities
• Lack of livestock drugs
• Lack of livestock credit facilities
• Low market prices for livestock and livestock products
• Inadequate financial support to extension services
• Inadequate transport
• High disease prevalence
• Low income levels and enterprise opportunities Opportunities:
• NGOs and other stakeholders
• Ready market for livestock
• Support from other government departments
• Adequate and available natural pastures
• Available water sources Threats:
• High disease prevalence
• High Tsetse infestation
• Bush fires destroying grazing areas
• Shared water sources(Human/Animal conflict)
FISHERIES PRODUCTION
Overall Objective: To promote sustainable utilization of fisheries resources.
The department of fisheries has two sections namely; Research and Extension units.
Fish stocks and Species
The fishing season in Itezhi-tezhi begins in March and ends in November with a three months fish ban (December to February) every year.
Lake Itezhi-tezhi has a variety of fish species. In 1992, Kapenta was introduced in the lake from Lake Tanganyika and has proved to have established itself well in the lake.There is relatively high catches on selective species of breams and brycinus species commonly known as Nantongo locally. Breams of between 3 and 4 inches have recorded the highest in terms of catches.
The preliminary frame survey results obtained show a fisher population of 1,070 from the previous 767 in the 2007 frame survey. This represents a 39.5% increment in the fisher population over the last seven years.
The other fish species available include; Schilbe intermedius (Schilbeidae), Labeo cylindricus and Barbus paludinosus (Cyprinidae), Synodontis macrostoma and Synodontis macrostigma (Mochokidae), Tilapia sparmanii, Sargochromis codringtonii and Serranochromis angusticeps (cichlidae), Limnothrissa miodon (Clupidae), Brycinus lateralis (Characidae) and Petrocephalus catostoma (Mormyridae).
Fishing Vessels in the district
The survey has shown a boat population of 542 with 80% being canoes, 5% plank boats and 15% banana boats. The number of engines is extremely low with just 5 engines operating in the fishery at the time of the survey. The statistics are a serious call for more investment in water transport in the fishery as the most common form of transport is not a safe mode of water transport. The lack of engines is also a safety risk to fishers as the lake is home to a number of hippo’s and crocodiles. A number of accidents have been recorded in the past with victims mainly having been using canoes.
Preservation and Markets
Most of the fishers targeting the breams have opted to use salting as the best preservation method targeting Kasumbalesa as their main market whose main customers are from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Generally fresh fish is transported as frozen. Apart from Lusaka, Kitwe is also a very important market destination for most fish traders.
Fisheries infrastructure and Equipment
The department has an office block constructed with a laboratory (small) and a Fish Market and Freezing facility under construction.
The department has both land and water transport. The station has one vehicle, the aluminum boat and two 25 Hp engines and the two banana boats.
Fisheries Production SWOT
Strengths:
• Organized structure
• Trained staff
• Land and water transport available
• Infrastructure in place

General Information
Itezhi – tezhi district is situated in the rich Kafue river basin. It shares the ecological systems with Choma, Kalomo and Kazungula on the south, Namwala Mazabuka and Kafue on the north and Kaoma on the west.
The soils are sandy to sandy loam on the south highlands of the district, mainly influenced by the barotse land climates. Along the Kafue River and northern highlands of the district the soils are sandy clay to clay loam. The wetlands have clay soils.
The vegetation is divided into three cases that is the miombo woodland, acacia and grasslands.
The northern and southern highlands are covered with miombo woodlands. The wetlands and dambos are covered with grass and acacia trees. The valleys are covered with hippo and Elephant grasses. The tree diameter ranges up to 25- 40cm diameter (commercial diameter)
The district is additionally receiving over 5 households per month, from Choma, Kalomo, Namwala and Monze, Thus increasing pressure on forests and other natural resources.
Land Use
The land and natural resources management practices falls under the following mandates. There are four land management Practices: that is forest estates ( Ila National forest, Sikaleta local forest, National park ( Kafue national park).The customary land and local authority.
Other natural resources which have direct influence on forest resources are agricultural land, animal grazing land, fish processing and human settlement.
The district office manages ILA National forest no. p40 which is 50 Km from the office and Sikaleta Local Forest no. p217 which is 80Km from the office.
The office offers management advice in customary and local authority land. In Itezhi – tezhi, customary land is classified as game management areas (GMAs) namely Nkala GMA in chiefs Musungwa and Shezongo and Namwala GMA in chiefs Kaingu, Chilyabufu and Shimbizhi.
Licencing
The office issues licenses in open and customary (GMA) as a management tool. It also offers extension service and environmental education.
General Administration
The department operates under the roof of the District Administration. The building is a ZESCO property. The District Forestry Office has no housing units for its workers in the district and currently all officers are renting.
Communication
The office has no telephone / and or any means of communication devices No Fax, internet mail.
The office is cut off from the national forest activities i.e. no books broachers, newsletters etc
Transport
The district forestry office has no any mode of transport. This has very much hampered our duties because we are unable to conduct forest patrols which are suppose to help us protect and manage customary, local and national forests.
Establishment
The district has 4 members of staff
1. District Forestry Officer – 1 position
2. Forestry Technician – 1 position
3. Officer Orderly – 1 position
4. General Worker – 1 position
Overview and condition of the Forest Estates
The forests are encroached with human settlements. The tree stocks are depleted to half.. In both estates there are unplanned agriculture practices going on. Fire management is not practiced. The boundaries, beacons and forest metal stickers have been vandalized. The estates have not been attended to for a long time, due to lack of financial and material support from the government. It has been noticed that other ministries like council, health, agriculture and ministry of education are encouraging physical developments in the national forest.
Total hectares of forest estate in the district
The total hectare for ILA national forest is 44,881.23 hectares, and shared between two districts Itezhi-tezhi and Namwala. But the total remained after Itezhi – tezhi becoming a district when it was separated from Namwala district is not known. Sikaleta local forest has total hectare size of 12,348.6 hectares

Other forest land use managements
The district has two Game Management Areas namely Nkala in chiefs Musungwa and Shezongo and Namwala .in chiefs Kaingu, Shimbizhi and Chilyabufu {forest language customary land}. Most of our licenses are operated in the two areas. The structures managing these areas are the Community Resource Boards, CBNRMF, in collaboration with ZAWA.
Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources SWOT Analysis
Strengths
• Abundant forest cover, abundant water, enough culture and heritage sites
• Enough wild game, abundant land, Hydro potential, abundant trees, Local communities
• District administration, trained staff, Forests and wildlife policy, Tourists
• DJOC; a committee that promotes joint operations in the district that are aimed at fighting crime regardless of the sector it falls under
Weakness
Poor condition of roads and airstrips in and outside the park, making accessibility to areas of interest difficulty.
Negative publicity about Wildlife Conservation in the district
Illegal off take of wildlife
Exaggeration of poaching reports
Inadequate park staff with interpretation skills to promote the park both to the locals and foreigners as an attractive tourist destination
Lack of information and interpretive materials such as maps, guidebooks and park regulations, which are important means of stimulating tourist interest and promoting their understanding of the park and its resources
Lack of tourism development plan to guide the development of tourism infrastructure and facilities in order to encourage large numbers of visitors to the area
Poor lodge standards in terms of catering and recreational facilities
Lack of transport to enable park managers effectively implement all conservation and commercial activities that promote tourism development
Late disbursement of funds
Inadequate natural resource management
Poor fire management
Opportunities
Potential investors in the tourism sector to provide quality services and facilities that will attract more visitors to our area
Technical assistance; teams of researchers that come from outside the country to help ZAWA establish a natural resource inventory of the park that will be used in promoting our area to both locals and foreigners
Vast protected area and its diversity of flora and fauna
Existence of suitable sites for safari lodges, bush campsites, fly campsites, and campsites
Cultural resources that exist both in the protected area and open area. These include the Loongola and Bbilili hot springs, Namwembwe sacred tree, old Nkala Mission1 and Nkala fortified camp2.
Presence of stakeholders such as GRZ, the council, CBNRM (DANIDA), CRBs and lower structures
Threats
Poor and inadequate infrastructure; tourists from overseas demand high standards, not only of accommodation and catering but also transport and communication
Recession of world economies
Political unrest in some neighboring countries
High increases in prices of oil
The spread of deadly diseases such as HIV/AIDS has reduced the number of visitors because they are concerned for their health
Poverty; breeds dishonest practices in tour operators of allowing leakages of foreign exchange
Crime rate; most tourists from overseas have lost property worth millions through theft
Conflicts of the tourism sector with other sectors, legislation and rights in the use of the park such as mining, hunting, commercial fishing in Lake Itezhi tezhi and traditional fishing in Nanzhila River
1 It is a site of special interest located about 8 km from Ngoma. It was the first European settlement north of the
Zambezi River and was founded in 1893 by a bachelor called Baldwin, a member of the Primitive Methodist
Church of England. The mission was abandoned around 1930 because of tsetse flies
2 It is the only site connected with the park to be designated as a national monument. It is located on
Nakalomwe hill, just outside the park. It was built by Captain Hamilton and Lieutenant Warrington of the Barotse police in 1901. it operated as an administrative centre for ila country between 1903 and 1904
Human population expansion leading to the loss of animal habitats to human settlements and agriculture. This causes depletion of wildlife and turns conservation areas into barren and unattractive destinations
Political interference in the management of the wildlife resources

SOCIO-ECONOMIC SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
1. WATER AND SANITATION
1.1. Water Supply
Urban Water Supply
The main source of water supply for the urban area is surface water pumped from the dam. ZESCO does the treatment, pumping and distribution to the uphill community. The Council and Lukanga Water and Sewerage Company do the distribution of water to all areas downhill. The capacity of the system is enough to service the whole township even for the next 10 years.
Below is the new automated water treatment and pumping system.
2. RURAL WATER SUPPLY & SANITATION
Rural Water Supply
Safe rural water supply in the district is under ground water, with total district coverage of 47 %. These sources of safe water supply are boreholes and protected wells. However the majority of rural households draw water from unprotected sources. (Scoop holes, shallow wells and streams/rivers) But due to drought situations, which hit the district so often, the ground water table has gone down drastically resulting in some areas becoming impossible for well digging. In such areas, the district has been helped by external support agencies like UNICEF, WaterAid, DANIDA and JICA, with boreholes through the District Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education Team. (D-WASHE) Wells are also promoted, as another alternative in areas were the water table is within reach to dig.
Sewerage system
The areas serviced by the sewerage system are Kataba, SWECO and ITPC compounds. The network is run by ZESCO. The network ends into five stabilisation ponds and seven septic tanks, which have a combined capacity of about 500 m3 /day. The other urban and peri-urban areas in the township are serviced by soak way and septic tank system and pit latrines.
SWOT Analysis- Water and Sanitation
Strengths
Plenty of surface water
Plenty of underground water
Communities are skilled in borehole repairing and well construction
Adequate skills at district level in borehole and well construction
Well established water management structures and district and sub district levels
Availability of bore hole spare parts (SOMAP SHOP)
Weaknesses
Poor management of water points
Low water coverage
Opportunity
An abundance of partners in rural water supply
Threats
Poor water quality (salty)
Aquifers are found below rock strata
Drying of wells due to drought
ROADS AND TRANSPORT
The district is accessed by three major roads, namely
• Itezhi tezhi – Mongu road junction (115 km)
• Itezhi tezhi – Dundumwezi to Kalomo (199 km)
• Itezhi tezhi – Namwala (65 km). There is a pontoon which crosses the Kafue river along this road. It becomes impassible during the rain season on the embankment along Namwala Road.
The district also has a feeder road network totaling about 816 km, which links rural health centres and rural communities. All the feeder roads are gravel roads, making it difficult to reach rural communities especially during the rainy season since they pass through flood plains
In the urban part of the district are 18 township roads totaling about 25 km. Of these roads, only one is tarred and the remainders are gravel. In addition to the roads, the district has a total of 16 bridges, out of which 13 are in good condition and only 3 or 31 percent are in poor condition. There is urgent need to repair the poor bridges in order to improve service delivery to the outlying parts of the district, especially during the rainy season
In the Kafue national park is an airfield. This airfield is located at Ngoma. Most of the tourist who visit the district use this airfield
PRIORITY ROADS
• D180. Baanga – Mumbwa via Banamwaze and Makunku.
• D769 ITT – Mongu road junction. This road also has tourist attractions such as the game park.
• Shanangoma road ie ITT via Basanga to Mbila – leads to the main agricultural area of Mbila
• Kaanzwa – Masasabi, leads to farming blocks and schools
• Kayawe – Nkobo, leads to farming blocks
• Kapili leads to main commercial fishing area
• Kasankwa – farming
• ITT – Ikonkaile – tourism and fishing • Kasaka Banamwaze – leading to the chief’s place
• Kabanga Nyambo – leading to the chief’s Muwezwa’s palace and Kabulungwe. • Makunku – Muunga via Mauluzhi.
POWER AND COMMUNICATION
ELECTRICITY ENERGY
The district mostly uses two sources of energy, namely; electrical and wood. Electric power is supplied through a 33KV line from Choma via Namwala by Zesco. The district is at the dead end of this line and therefore is affected by all problems on the line affecting Choma and Namwala. This has made the District to experience periodic shutdown when Zesco is carrying out maintenance. Notwithstanding this, power supply is fairly reliable.
Zesco also supplies electricity from the standby generators to critical points of need such as the hospital and government offices. This power is not enough for the district, which has a maximum peak demand, estimated at about 1MW.
The district also has a 120 mega watt hydro power station under construction. The power station is expected to be commissioned by end of the year 2015. Once this is done, it is envisaged that the district electricity power supply will improve further.
ENERGY FROM WOOD
Use of wood for energy is done either as firewood or as charcoal. More than 14000 households are still using this type of energy. It is estimated that 480 x 90Kg bags of charcoal are produced every year.
POSTAL SERVICES
The quality of services being provided by Postal services is quite good and efficient. Every Sunday, Mail is delivered to Mumbwa while mail from Mumbwa is brought to Itezhi Tezhi every Monday. Also whenever other departments travel to Mumbwa for Official duties, they help out by carrying some mail on behalf of the Postal Services.
For more services like Telegraph, the Postal service is relying on ZAMTEL to improve their services. The Postal Service intends to introduce water transport services between Itezhi Tezhi and Namwala.
TELECOMMUNICATION
Telephone communication is available in the district. This service is provided by Zamtel.
Other means of communication within the district is by VHF and HF radios. HF radios are found at ZESCO offices, MACO, OOP and ZAWA. ZESCO and MOH have VHF radios for short distance usage.
HOUSING
Housing is a critical issue in the district due to the increasing numbers of people coming to the district. The district has a serious housing deficit. Currently, the majority of government workers are accommodated by ZESCO. It has a total of 214 housing units made up of 23 high cost, 69 medium cost and 122 low cost units. A number of private individuals have put up houses in Masemu, Lilanda and other surrounding areas. Shelter Zambia has also facilitated the construction of medium cost house in the district. The Council has also embarked on a project to build institutional houses. So far the Council has 8 medium cost housing units.
SWOT Analysis on Housing
Strengths
Plenty of land to build more houses
High demand for residential accommodation
Local authority is allocating plots for those willing to build
Population of the working class in the district is increasing
Most materials like sand and crushed stones are cheap
Most skilled and casual labour is cheap
Weaknesses
Accommodation in the district is very cheap compared with the cost of building or repairs and maintenance of houses
Average level of income of the working population is very low
Opportunities
Financial institutions are willing to lend money for building or purchasing houses
Threats
Political interference in the allocation of plots at the local authority
HIV/AIDS pandemic’s impact on the high level income population with capacity to build houses.

• To ensure that school curricula and materials are relevant to the needs of Zambia and are in sync with appropriate standards.
• To develop and implement a common system of regular collection and reporting of information on the current status and future demand and supply, and on priority educational areas of the country.
Key Policy interventions
The Ministry of Education’s Strategic focus combined the policy aspirations outlined in
Educating Our Future, Vision 2030, the Sixth National Development Plan (SNDP), National Implementation Framework (NIF III). The strategic approach also embraced social factors impacting the education system including HIV/AIDS, gender, disability, OVC and adult literacy. Education policies incorporate the Education for All (EFA) initiative/process and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The board members meet regularly. The board members have been oriented on education policy principles of Education Boards. There is an overwhelming acceptance by Board members and the general public of decentralization programme in general and the establishment of Education Boards in particular, the general appreciation of change.
Education Infrastructure.
The district has a total of 87 schools out of which 4 are secondary schools. One of the 4 secondary schools 1 is a boarding school. There are 76 primary schools out of which 24 are community schools. The 24 community schools were recently converted into government schools. In addition to government schools, the district has 5 private schools.
Figure 9: Itezhi tezhi District Schools
Itezhi tezhi wards
Note: not all schools have been mapped
Distances to the Nearest School
On average children cover 5km walking to the nearest school in the district. The actual distance range covered is from less than 500m to 16km. This means that the distribution of schools in general terms is within the walk able distance.
Availability of and condition of classrooms
The district has a total of 124 classrooms against the optimum number of 285 classrooms. This entails that the district has classroom deficit of 56 percent or 160 classrooms. This situation is most critical in 16 schools which have high classroom deficiency levels of more than 50 percent. This could be attributed to the large numbers of people in their catchment areas.
Of the available classrooms, 28 percent are in poor condition. The poor condition of classrooms is most critical in 11 schools, all of which are in the rural part of the district
Utilization of existing classroom infrastructure
The district has a total of 124 classrooms against a population of 10 396 pupils. In an optimum situation, the available classrooms are supposed to accommodate 4445 pupils. However, the classrooms are carrying an additional load of 5,951 pupils. This indicates that the district has over enrolled by 134 percent. To absorb the surplus population, additional 170 classrooms are needed. On the other hand, using 2 streams per class in all schools will accommodate 9030 pupils. The surplus can be absorbed by an addition of only 39 classrooms (single Stream) or 20 classrooms (double streams)
Enrolment Levels by Catchment area/institution
A total number of 10 396 children are enrolled in all the 24 schools of the district. It is however difficult to ascertain enrollment rates in each catchment area due to the lack of information
Number of Pupils Dropping Out and Reason – Previous
There is no information on the numbers of and reasons for the drop out rates. There is need for a system of documenting this kind of information in order to have an understanding of the various factors that have an impact on the drop out rates in the district
Availability and Condition of Teachers’ Houses
The district has a total of 80 houses against the optimum number of 252, representing a deficit of 68 percent. This deficit is more critical in 46 percent of schools. Of the 80 existing houses, 12 or 15 percent are in a poor condition.
Availability and condition of sanitary facilities at schools
The district has a total number 87VIPs out of the optimum number of 347. This represents a deficit of 75 percent. The urban schools have 19 WTs out of the optimum number of 103, representing a deficit of 82 percent. An additional 84 WTs are needed to reach optimum levels
Availability and condition of water facilities at schools
The district has a total of 42 water points in the schools. The water points are generally in good condition with only about 3 percent in poor condition. On average, 248 pupils are using one water point and only one school does not have a water point
Availability of Power
Schools in the district have limited access to power, with only 25 percent having access to power. Out of this figure, 15 percent are connected to the Zesco power supply. Seventy five
(75) percent do not have access to any form of power. This could be attributed to the fact that most of them are located more than 32 km away from the power supply mains.
Lack of power has a negative impact on service provision because it reduces study time for pupils. The provision of quality education is further undermined because learning facilities that require the use of power are not used at all
Staffing Level in Schools (Trained)
The district has a total of 147 trained teachers against a population of 10 396 pupils, representing a ratio of 1 teacher to about 71 pupils. Overall, this is an ideal situation. However, there is a critical shortage of teachers in 29 percent of the schools. These schools have over 100 pupils without teachers and on average, 56 percent of pupils in these schools do not have teachers. An addition of 63 teachers are needed to cater for the 2, 201 pupils who do not have any teachers.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL WELFARE SUB SECTOR
Sector Objective: to provide and facilitate socio economic empowerment of the poor and vulnerable and promote the development and preservation of culture for sustainable human development.
DPWAC Membership
The DPWAC is composed of government departmental heads, non governmental organisations and faith – based organizations. This committee is effective in that it disburses resources to communities timely.
The department of social welfare which falls under this committee operates at three levels; at district level is the DPWAC which administers the PWAS, a government social safety net at area level is the ACC, which co ordinates community activities
at community level is the CWAC which identifies beneficiaries of the PWAS
Staffing levels in this sub sector are very low, with only two officers running the Community Development department and one officer running the Social Welfare department. There is no staff at sub district level. Though the human resource is trained, it is very inadequate to meet the demands of the district.
Community Development Active Women’s Clubs
There is a total of 50 active women’s clubs, of which 30 are in the rural parts of the district and one which is the urban area. These clubs have a total membership of 1488 women. Their range of activities include beer brewing, baking, poultry, craft making, gardening, growing and selling of cassava and maize, buying and selling of animals, fish business, goat and pig keeping. These women’s clubs do not receive any funding for their activities.
Community based Projects
There are 8 community based project, all of which are in the education sector. These projects are located at schools and they receive funding from ZAMSIF and the BESSIP/sector pool.
Literacy Classes
There are no literacy classes in the district. However, there are 50 applicants who have applied to become literacy instructors. These have already organized and registered 25 students per class, both males and females. Nonetheless, due to government’s inability to support literacy programmes, these classes can’t commence.
Issues affecting women
Women in the district are facing problems such as
• Discrimination based on sex
• Gender imbalance
• Wife battering
• HIV/AIDS
• Poverty
Orphans and Vulnerable Children
The HIV/AIDS pandemic has contributed to the rise of OVCs in the district. During the second quarter of 2005, a total of 2000 orphans, who comprised 800 males and 1 200 females were assisted. This figure excludes those who benefited from the bursaries scheme. There are a number of programmes in the district which support OVCs. These include the PWAS under the social welfare department, the CHANGES programme, partnered by the Ministries of Education, Health and Community Development and Social Services. The bursary scheme run by the Ministries of Education, Community development and Social Services, Vision of HOPU project run by Friends Care Association and ADRA also benefits the OVCs
ocial Welfare
During the past three years, about 1 953 different types of vulnerable people were assisted by the department of social welfare. These included people such as juveniles, the chronically ill, the aged, women and children. Though the demand for assistance has increased, funding for the department has reduced drastically, making it difficult to assist many more people. During this year, K24, 980, 000 from HIPC funds was spent to assist 350 OVCs from 25 schools. In addition, K 9, 995, 000 from the sector pool was spent to assist 129 OVCs from 9 schools. This assistance was in form of bursaries. Of the OVCs who benefited from the HIPC funds, 208 were females and 142 were males. Seventy five females and 54 males benefited from the sector pool funds

1.5.5 SECURITY
1.5.5.1 Police Posts and Stations
The district has only one police station which has 2 cells to house both men and women. These cells have a combined capacity of 12 inmates, but are forced to accommodate as much as 25 inmates due to inadequate infrastructure. Fourteen police officers (all male) are operating at the police station, out of an optimum number of 30. There are 16 staff houses, which are adequate for the number of officers currently at the station.
1.5.5.2 Crime
There has been a steady increase in crime in the district. This has been attributed to the following
• Lack of employment
• Excessive beer drinking
• The thriving fishing industry which has given rise to theft
1.5.5.3 Victim Support Unit
The police station does not have trained counselors. Counseling in marital disputes is most in demand, but only two officers are used for this.
1.5.5.4 Prisons
The district does not have a prison. All judicial matters are referred to Namwala or Mumbwa where prisons and local courts are available.
1.5.5.5 Immigration
The immigration department has one staff member and has an average of 15 clients per month. The department has adequate office accommodation. Residential accommodation, on the other hand is inadequate
1.5.5 LOCAL COURTS
The district does not have local courts. All cases are referred to Namwala or Mumbwa.
SWOT analysis for security
Strengths
Easy access to and readily available security wing
Well trained personnel
Weaknesses
Inadequate manpower and accommodation, both office and residential
Inadequate transport, both land and water
Poor communication and road network systems
Lack of co – operation between community members and security wings to help in curbing crime
Inadequate police post in a vast district like itezhi tezhi to curb crime
Lack of logistical support
Lack of a subordinate court to try cases
Opportunities
Periodic review of the security situation in the district to enhance security in the district and to develop good rapport with the community
Threats
Fears of the unknown by some community members to report crime related matters to the security wings
