We are beyond excited to announce the Municipality of Mufulira as a member here at
ZamNordic!
At the end of May this year, His Worship Mr. Tanayeli Kamanga, Executive Mayor of
Mufulira, came to Denmark to discuss two major interconnected issues in his municipality;
solid waste management and wastewater management. Important knowledge, advice, and
input were shared as we visited leaders at Redux – Kolding Municipality’s waste
management department – and BlueKolding – a municipally owned company specializing in
wastewater treatment in Kolding Municipality – as well as Kolding’s Mayor, Knud Erik
Langhoff.
At ZamNordic, we are thrilled and intent on continuing this process and helping Mufulira
realize opportunities for Zambian-Danish collaborations that offer growth for all parties
involved.

ZAMNORDIC SEMINAR: SEPTEMBER 2022
Results from our seminar
Connections
Among other participants, ZamNordic invited Kolding Kommune, REDUX Kolding and Bæredygtighedshuset to a seminar to share their knowledge and connect with the Chililabombwe delegates. A business relationship was created, and we are currently working on nurturing and expanding that connection.
Media Coverage
The visit was mediatized by both regional Danish television and Zambian national television. By doing that, the waste problem has been made public and the importance of it has been acknowledged.
Idea Generation
During their visit, the delegates from Chililabombwe attended our seminar on waste management and presented their case. From the subsequent debate with the audience, ideas were generated. Among other things, it was suggested that Chililabombwe focus on its social media presence to create awareness and furthermore to make a campaign to engage citizens in collecting waste, and Chililabombwe is now actively working on these initiatives.
