Abstract
Zambia, like any other third world country, faces a lot of social problems. For the past forty years Zambia has tried to solve its problems but without any success. Zambia’s geographical location as a landlocked country has not helped its cause. Without a seaport to bring in imports and with most of the neighboring countries engaged in civil wars or independence struggle for almost three decades (from the 1970s to the 1990s), Zambia had to spend a lot of money on airlifting most of her imports and exports. This venture had many different kinds of effects on the Zambian economy and on social conditions in general. In the 1970s, 1980s and part of the 1990s the situation was worsened by political turmoil in the neighboring countries. When most newly independent African countries were busy tackling their social problems, Zambia was busy fighting for the independence of neighboring countries like Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. This means that for about three decades Zambia had prioritized the independence of the Southern African region from colonial powers at the expense of its domestic development. Although during the same three decades Zambia built schools, hospitals, two universities and other social services, they did not match the national population growth.
