I come from the beautiful country of Zambia where people are always friendly and helpful. They are understanding that someone from another country may not learn all there is to learn. Zambia is one of the few countries in Africa that has political stability. Having mentioned all this there are problems that Zambia experiences these are discussed below as well as what I can do to contribute to the development. 1. Littering Most African countries usually have little or no information given to littering. This becomes hazardous as it could destroy the land. In Zambia, there is very little being done about recycling. People tend to dig holes at the back of the house and throw their rubbish there. When the hole is full they burn the rubbish (destroying …show more content…

Many university graduates are reduced to working in a wholesale shop as a receptionist as their qualification does not match the job requirements. The other cause of this would also result from the structural change of the economy. A change in production methods as well as techniques can result in a drop in demand of people with particular qualification skills. The solution to this problem would be to provide training to the workers. 3.

These investors will build on the land that is owned by someone and possess that infrastructure for the next five years after that the property will solely belong to the landowner. This will attract construction companies to the country, therefore causing development. Life is not about a smooth road but it has bumps, pitfalls and stops sign. There will be several obstacles that I will face when looking to contribute to the development of Zambia. These are discussed below: 1. People not willing to work towards seeing a cleaner place or lack of cooperation. 2. New technology can be strange for some, due to lack of information about solar panels and their benefits is another obstacle. 3. Training may be made available but people may view it as wasting time. 4. Participation of government in projects can be very slow or in some cases may not take place at all. 5. Buying land can be costly and it is because of this that people may not be open to an idea where they are not able to see the profits then and
