Zambian Defence Minister Ambrose Lufuma and CEO Mike Kostorowski of U.S. company LANDLOCK Natural Paving, Inc. signed a five-year Joint Venture agreement to build 5,000 kilometers of road in Zambia that will run through all 10 provinces of the country. The construction is scheduled to begin in March or April of 2024 contingent on weather conditions. This project will provide major benefits to the Zambian people under President Hichilema’s Rural Connectivity Project which focuses on rehabilitating old roads and constructing new ones, greatly improving valuable transportation routes. The socio-economic impact will extend far beyond the Zambian jobs that are created in road construction – this program will accelerate growth and prosperity for all sectors.
The Rural Connectivity Project, in collaboration with the Constituency Development Fund, will provide safe and efficient road systems that promote regional travel. The agricultural sector will particularly benefit through the enhanced ability to transport produce, greater accessibility for workers, and the opening of new markets. This project is another example of harnessing U.S. private sector technology and ingenuity in partnership with the Zambian people to drive economic growth.

The U.S. government is committed to working closely with Zambia to attract U.S. private sector investment, recognizing that businesses and local communities – much more than governments – drive investment, job creation, and economic growth. LANDLOCK provides infrastructure solutions that reduce the waste of time, money, and the environment commonly associated with traditional road construction methods.
