EIZ President, Eng Henry Musonda - Inaugural Speech
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. As interesting as that would be, I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE OF LEADERSHIP. Not leadership in the context I just made reference to, but leadership by the profession in a public role in the theme areas of professional practice, infrastructure, Industry and environment. I would like to point out that to have an effective public role, engineers, as a profession, must adopt that role as integral to their profession. We have not done that yet, at least not to the extent other professions have. Read More
Engineering Institution of Zambia (EIZ) President Henry Musonda has thanked the 54th Council and the secretariat for the input they put for the betterment of the Institution.
THE world oil demand is expected to rise by 900 000 barrels per day, 20 000 higher than previously forecast and this will see prices trading around $70 to $80 a barrel in coming months.
According to the OPEC monthly report, the need for crude from its members would fall from the previous year. "Current conditions in the world economy and the very comfortable outlook for oil market fundamentals are likely to remain supportive for prices to continue to move within this range over the coming months." OPEC's report comes after positive comments from the International Energy Agency (IEA), adviser to industrialised economies, which said on Tuesday that world oil demand would hit a record high this year. But OPEC trimmed the forecast for 2010 demand for its own crude by 130 000 bpd, reflecting higher non-OPEC supply. Supply from countries outside OPEC in 2010 will rise by 500,000 bpd from the previous year, Wednesday's report said, an increase of around 90,000 bpd from its previous forecast. OPEC's compliance with output targets fell to 53 percent in March, compared with 55 percent in February, according to Reuters calculations based on data from Wednesday's report. The group announced in December 2008 it would cut production as prices slumped to below $33 in the global economic crisis. But with oil now above $80 there is less incentive for members to comply with quotas.

A Strategic Plan is a “road map” to guide and direct the operations of any organisation and plays a critical role in ensuring continuity in institutional development and functions. The Zambian economy has seen an upswing trend in growth. The government has come up with Vision 2030 to ensure Zambia attains middle income status by 2030.
