A NEW CHAPTER: FROM STABILISATION TO GROWTH — LET US GROW ZAMBIA TOGETHER

Today, 1st September 2026, marks another important chapter in Zambia’s development journey following the inauguration of President Hakainde Hichilema for a renewed mandate to serve the people of Zambia.

The President’s message was clear: the next five years must focus on growth, expansion, opportunity and prosperity, building on the economic stabilisation achieved during the first term.

At the centre of this vision is the GROW ZAMBIA Agenda, which seeks to expand and diversify key sectors including agriculture, mining, tourism and energy, while accelerating infrastructure development and industrial transformation.

The ambitious targets include:

🇿🇲 10 million tonnes of maize
⚡ 10,000 MW of electricity
🌍 5 million tourists
⛏️ 3 million tonnes of copper
🌱 3 million tonnes of soya
🌾 1 million tonnes of wheat
🍬 1 million tonnes of sugar
🐄 US$1 billion in beef export revenue

Most importantly, economic growth must translate into improvements in the everyday lives of our people — jobs for young people, markets for farmers, capital for entrepreneurs, opportunities for women in business, quality education and healthcare, and a better future for every Zambian child.

The elections are now behind us. This is a time for unity, hard and smart work, reconciliation and national development. Regardless of our political preferences, we share one country and one future.

May we all play our part in building a peaceful, inclusive, productive and prosperous Zambia.

One Zambia, One Nation, One People. 🇿🇲

Forward Together. Let us GROW ZAMBIA!

ZAMBIA VOTES
Today Zambia decides its future — and the University of Zambia will be watching its own take their seats at that table – Presidential, Parliamentary, Mayoral and Local Government.
Every ballot cast carries the weight of a nation. For UNZA alumni, it carries something more: the training to look past noise and read the situation clearly, the discipline to separate fact from rhetoric, and the responsibility that comes with both. We were taught to think critically before, to interrogate evidence before we accept it, and to reason from principle rather than pressure. That habit of mind doesn't switch off at the ballot box — it's needed there most.
We are not just asking our alumni to vote tomorrow — we're asking you to vote independently, deliberately, and with the nation's long-term interest ahead of any short-term persuasion.
VOTE WISELY

From UNZA lecture halls to State House — this is our legacy!

In 7 days, Zambia goes to the polls to choose its leaders. As the nation votes, we're proud to reflect on the alumni who once sat in these same lecture halls and went on to lead countries as Presidents and Vice Presidents – THIS IS OUR LEGACY!

As the nation votes, we encourage every eligible alumni and fellow Zambian to exercise their democratic right on 13th August, 2026
