From now onwards, I have the privilege of leading the Institution in the classic sense of leading EIZ members, individually and organizationally, for the next 12 months.

The World Bank has estimated that the African continent would need about US$31 billion per annum in an effort to transform its infrastructure and that this shortfall would particularly affect investment in power and water infrastructure in fragile States.
The Engineering Institution of Zambia (EIZ) was formed in 1955. The Institution is currently functioning under the EIZ Act of 1992. The Act provided for the creation of the Engineering Registration Board (EngRB). EIZ has in the recent past finalised the process of repealing and replacing the 1992 EIZ Act.
Cap 432 of the Laws of Zambia lays out the procedures for constituting the Engineer’s Registration Board. Apart from empowering the Board to oversee the practice of Engineering in Zambia, the Act regulates the operations of the Board.
