Welcome to the Zambia Country Space on JamiiTrade
Welcome to the Zambia Country Space on JamiiTrade, a dynamic platform dedicated to empowering Zambian startups, entrepreneurs, and SMEs to navigate and thrive within the AfCFTA. Zambia's impressive Total Early-Stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) rate of 33.5% underscores a vibrant entrepreneurial culture, significantly supported by government initiatives aimed at economic diversification and job creation. Yet, despite this positive landscape, challenges persist, especially for women entrepreneurs facing barriers in access to finance, land ownership, and educational opportunities, as highlighted in a recent World Bank report.
