Douglas Syakalima has commended Airtel Zambia for its continued investment in the education sector. Hon. Syakalima has described Airtel’s involvement in the education sector as critical to the country’s development and digital future. The Minister was speaking when Airtel Zambia Managing Director, Mr. Hussam Baday, paid a courtesy call at his office this morning. Hon. Syakalima applauded Airtel for its significant and impactful contributions, particularly at a time when access to technology is increasingly essential. He emphasized the importance of internet connectivity in schools under the new curriculum, where Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is now compulsory. The Minister noted that early exposure to digital tools is vital for learners to thrive in a technology-driven global landscape. Hon. Syakalima said that Expanding connectivity will help bridge the digital divide and ensure equitable access to quality education across Zambia. And Mr. Baday reaffirmed Airtel’s commitment to supporting national development priorities through strategic investments that empower communities, enhance learning, and drive Zambia’s digital transformation. He revealed that Airtel has invested K12 million in the refurbishment and construction of five schools across five districts, with the first school set to be commissioned next week in Chipata, Eastern Province. Mr. Bady added that schools in Mongu, Solwezi, Mufulira, and Kasama will also be commissioned within the next three months. He also said Airtel has already connected 300 schools to the internet and aims to reach 3,000 schools over the next three years. Mr. Baday explained that these investments, are aligned with Airtel’s broader mission to transform lives through connectivity, improve infrastructure, and foster innovation among Zambia’s youth. Mr. Baday was accompanied by Airtel’s Legal Director, Ms. Suzyo Akatama, and Head of Corporate Communications, Government Relations and CSR, Mr. Suwilanji Siame. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17t4dTreTz/

Zambia must raise digital consumption to have a $60 billion economy - Mutati

Ministry of Technology and Science

TECHNOLOGY and Science minister Felix Mutati says Zambia must urgently increase digital consumption if it is to achieve … TECHNOLOGY and Science minister Felix Mutati says Zambia must urgently increase digital consumption if it is to achieve its ambitious target of growing the economy to $60 billion. Zambia's nominal GDP for 2025 is estimated at $29.37 billion, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Mutati said while government has made significant progress in expanding digital infrastructure, the next phase must focus on ensuring that citizens actively use the technology. Speaking when he addressed the Information and Communication Technology Association of Zambia (ICTAZ) conference in Livingstone yesterday, Mutati said connectivity alone was not enough without increased usage. He noted that digital consumption remains the missing link in unlocking the full potential of the ICT sector. “We are at 40 percent in terms of consumption of internet. We need to move beyond that. If we need to get to US$60 billion economy, [we] must lift that to 80 percent,” Mutati said. The minister explained that government has already laid a strong foundation through reforms and investments in infrastructure, including the expansion of the country’s fibre network. He said the growth from 15,000 kilometres to over 45,000 kilometres of fibre connectivity was a direct result of deliberate policy decisions such as removing import duty on digital infrastructure. “That doesn’t happen by accident, it is because of the reforms that were undertaken,” he said. Mutati added that government’s methodical approach to building the ICT sector had strengthened resilience and expanded access, but emphasised that the focus must now shift to usage. The minister further revealed initiatives to increase access and participation, include the introduction of free public Wi-Fi under the HH ZAM free WiFi programme. He said the initiative, being implemented with ICTAZ, will help bring more citizens online and stimulate digital activity. “Free Wi-Fi will increase digital consumption by making technology accessible to ordinary people,” he said. Meanwhile, the minister revealed that the tech sector had made history by successfully raising capital on the Lusaka Stock Exchange’s alternative market, which had remained inactive for years. “In 2025, the tech sector became the first to raise capital on the alternative market, and it was oversubscribed by 114 percent,” said Mutati.
