The Republic of Zambia is located in central southern Africa and bordered by Zaire, Angola, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Tanzania. The capital, Lusaka, is approximately 50 miles from the Zimbabwe border in the southern part of the country. In size, Zambia is slightly larger than Texas. The country is mostly a large, flat plateau, with some hills and mountains. The climate is tropical, but generally a little cooler because of its higher altitude. Natural resources include copper, lead, zinc, cobalt, coal, emeralds, gold, silver, uranium, and hydropower.

The mostly agrarian economy of Zambia has met with difficult challenges since the colonial period. The United Kingdom focused primarily on the development of mining to exclusion of other sectors, including agriculture. Today, Zambia’s rural areas are still far behind in infrastructural investment. Zambian farmers have traditionally been paid very little for their produce, and many farmers have migrated to the cities in search of jobs.
The government has had limited ability to deal with the growing urban population, half of whom are not employed. The depressed income from tourism, copper, and other industries contributes to the problem. Zambia now faces severe agricultural and employment crises, and famine is a continuous threat.

Zambia has around 130,000 Telephone lines and 15,000 Internet users
