The Zambian government has announced that it is withdrawing from a part of a deal with the United States to provide healthcare assistance worth more than $1 billion. According to the authorities, the terms of the agreement are contrary to the national interests of Zambia. Human rights activists warn that the deal obliges the country to provide access to mineral resources and carries risks of data sharing.
Tanzania and Zambia are becoming key partners in Africa's quest for sustainable energy and responsible mining. Based on their historical ties, geographical proximity and common economic goals, the two countries are deepening cooperation in the fields of mining, clean energy and regional integration. This strategic partnership will be the main topic of the Tanzania-Zambia Business Forum and the IAZ Insurance Conference 2026, which will be held from June 16 to 19 in Lusaka. The event, organized by IAZ, Umoja Conservation Foundation (UCT) and Glow Consulting Services (GCS), will bring together government officials, private sector leaders and risk management experts to develop a plan for future cooperation.
