Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>U.S. company LANDLOCK Natural Paving, Inc. signed a five-year Joint Venture agreement with the Zambia National Service under the Ministry of Defence to build 5,000 kilometers of road in Zambia that will run through all 10 provinces of the country. The construction is scheduled to begin in March or April of 2024 contingent on weather conditions.<\/p>\n

Defence Minister Ambrose Lufuma and U.S. Ambassador to Zambia Michael Gonzales attended the signing ceremony where LANDLOCK CEO Mike Kostorowski said, \u201cWe are incredibly humbled by the warm reception of our Zambian partners and their enthusiasm for our road building technology. We anticipate an aggressive development plan with significant investment into supply chain management, training, and certification. \u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cThe socio-economic impact will extend far beyond the Zambian jobs that are created in road construction \u2013 this program will accelerate growth and prosperity for all sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n

This project will provide major benefits to the Zambian people under President Hichilema\u2019s Rural Connectivity Project which focuses on rehabilitating old roads and constructing new ones, greatly improving valuable transportation routes.<\/p>\n

The Rural Connectivity Project, in collaboration with the Constituency Development Fund, will provide safe and efficient road systems that promote regional travel.<\/p>\n

The agricultural sector will particularly benefit through the enhanced ability to transport produce, greater accessibility for workers, and the opening of new markets.<\/p>\n

This project is another example of harnessing U.S. private sector technology and ingenuity in partnership with the Zambian people to drive economic growth.<\/p>\n

LANDLOCK provides infrastructure solutions that reduce the waste of time, money, and the environment commonly associated with traditional road construction methods.<\/p>\n

The U.S. government is committed to working closely with Zambia to attract U.S. private sector investment, recognizing that businesses and local communities \u2013 much more than governments \u2013 drive investment, job creation, and economic growth.<\/p>\n

Accountable American companies create quality jobs, provide professional development for their staff, and improve the overall business environment by promoting legal compliance and transparency, while combating corruption.<\/p>\n
