Zambia’s mining industry accounts for a significant part of the country’s exports and GDP, employing a large number of people. The water use of the mining industry affects the region’s access to clean water, creating not only negative environmental impacts but also economic, social and infrastructural challenges.
Our goal in the Zambimine project is to promote water protection in Zambia and create the capacity for Mopani Central Training Center (MCTC), a Zambian vocational training centre, to provide training for sector operators in sustainable water management. HAMK implements the curriculum for further education programme, ensuring certified competences for MCTC trainers to educate further. With the help of qualified MCTC staff, the staff of industry operators as well as supervisory authorities can be trained.
Zambimine is part of the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation’s (UNIDO) project “Supporting livelihoods through skills training and capacity building in the SADC Region“, strengthening the capacity of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) as well as addressing environmental protection challenges.
