Zambia

Zambia, located in south-central Africa, is a landlocked nation with geographic features that include rugged terrain, vast plains and high plateaus. The population of about 19.5 million people is spread unevenly, with a high concentration in the capital, Lusaka, and the Copperbelt Province. These areas, due to their density, have relatively better access to infrastructure. In contrast, the rural regions suffer from limited connectivity, largely due to the challenges of extending services across Zambia's varied landscape. The country has seen growth in its telecommunications sector with the entry of multiple mobile operators. However, infrastructure development is still ongoing, with a focus on expanding broadband services to rural areas. Significant investments have been made in renewable energy, particularly hydroelectric and solar power, reflecting a shift towards sustainable technologies. Despite these advancements, Zambia's technology sector is still maturing, with a considerable portion of the population yet to gain access to basic telecommunication services and modern technologies.
