  1. Presentation to the Ministry of Local Government & HousingClean Towns by Diversification & Change of Mindset Chabuka J. Kawesha (Dr) Private Public Policy Contributor October 2012

  2. Mahatma Gandhi “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

  3. Are FACTS Creating Fear ? FACT: Zambia’s population growth translates into graduates year-on-year are outstripping available job opportunities per year. FACT: Councils large or small are not playing their role in employment creation and are ever claiming to be cash strapped or broke financially? Let’s change their treatment now. FACT: We are seen to be too bureaucratic & lacking the will to pass change-based decisions in local government by potential FDI investors

  4. The call for jobs is supported by a heavy weight of literature – What are you doing to help ?

  5. Observations /What Public Believes in our Local Government Administration • Accumulation of wealth and capital (Human& Financial) has been a fraught process, even though national economic conditions have been more favorable over the past 10-15 years. • An ancient mix of survivalist traits still command our local government economic space hence empirical cracks in delivery. • Analytical and empirical work based on evolutionary and transformative economic pathways remains a feared approach. Little or No Research & Development.

  6. Observations /What Public Believes in our Local Government Administration • Our in-house Research and Development (R&D) to seek primacy and influence policy for great and the good has been turned into a collage of relics i.e. focus on debating an archaic administration or market system as opposed to developing new structures and systems in large numbers. • We favor a form philanthropy (begging from donors) and receiving unsolicited & presumptive sage advise to make ends meet or indeed contribute towards the messianic millennium development goals. Form economic clusters and advance technology transfer.

  7. End of Extreme Poverty – New Green JOBS • Gains to name a few include… • Councils grow to levels of participating in Municipal Bonds. • Councils develop people delivery transport systems, street lighting, Complex refuse control methods, etc. • Council’s Capital base improves and leads to innovation. • Council’s supplement Government efforts in delivery of School books, Renewable energy, etc., • Council’s begin to compete on standards – Green evolution is born

  8. End of Extreme Poverty – New Green JOBS

  9. Potential Trend • As a combined force (89 Districts) underlays the potential to deliver up to 1.2m new Jobs with minimal input from central government. [Self-belief & District or village collectivization] The World has demonstrated this through regional economic blocks. Why can’t we do same by fostering Council blocks for development ?

  10. Potential Areas • Markets and New Market Structure Development • Green Supermarkets & the district agro-revolution • Buses and local transport transformation • New green cities and towns (Green revolution) • Floor cemented or tarred Car and Truck Parks • Science in Garbage management & Paper demand • Recycling factories ‘Our current conventional economic prisms and macro-models barely capture this collage of adaptive competitive interests and inter-relationships’. Duncan Clarke

  17. Your Energy Needs – Support Recycling Industry

  18. Are Your Residents Reading ? • Recommendation 9of 66: Chabuka J Kawesha

  19. Are New Industries Coming to Your AREA ?

  20. Opportunity • Identify Municipal and Technical relationships among councils with Zambia. • Help create a developmental state right from a local governmental level. • Push and practice industrialization deliberately our the nations political & economic convenience.

  21. After a this discussion, avoid • Words such as ‘But, funds are not …’ • Words like ‘However, challenge of funding …’ • Phrases like ‘We are not surefunding …’ Be and remain Positive, Innovate through and through. Gandhi said… YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE

  22. This simplified paper with simplified but complex opportunities talks to opportunities of more than 1.1m new green jobs using new markets, local government initiatives, technology, etc., for Zambia to RESET its Industrial Revolution and job galore.And the message is simple, if we don’t plan and budget for new green jobs in mass-numbers we’ll miss all revolutions i.e. Industrial, Service, Technological, Scientific, etc., hence remain an gorge of poverty and forever on the brink of potential strife.It is we the technocrats who must present to the politicians and indeed to ourselves clinic and forensic ideas; above our economic development academics on how a dustbin, street broom, tissue-machine, a sewing machine, etc., can create 20,000 jobs a month.America, Europe and Asia rose from the ashes of the second world war to become industrial powers using self-design job creation models and largely and amass their own hands..
