The guest of honour, Nyimba District Commissioner Mr Paul Daka delivered his speech to launch the
programme in Nyimba and began by saying that he was extremely delighted and felt humbled to have been
invited to officially launch EDC and CJ Investment’s entrepreneurship development programme in Nyimba
district today. The occasion was a very momentous one for him as the programme resonated so well with
the aspirations of his government. The new dawn government’s desire was to diversify and grow the economy
through entrepreneurship and enterprise development. He said that to accelerate that agenda, the new dawn
government had created a new ministry of Small and Medium Enterprise Development, charged with the
responsibility to support the establishment and growth of SMEs in Zambia. He further stated that the
programme that was being launched that day, was of national significance as it sought to augment
the government’s efforts in actualising the vision of 2030 and the national programmes as articulated in the 8th
National Development and other subsidiary plans of making the country a prosperous and Poverty free |
