NGO Worried About Lack of EIA on Projects

The Earth Organisation Zambia has expressed concern at the increasing number of development projects that are being implemented without conducting an environmental impact Assessment (EIA) as required by law.

Director, Lovemore Muma, says that the organisation is concerned that big projects have been allowed to take off even without assessing their impact on the surrounding communities.

Muma, who cities the Chinese-run Ichimpi Mine in Kalulushi as one of the projects that has started without an EIA study, warns that situations like this pose risks to the communities.
