An Economic Activist has observed that Zambia has a high investing level in economic projects that do not have long term promotion of growth and development that the country needs.
Speaking in an interview with Money FM News, Dr. Charity Musamba lamented that government is investing in economic projects that do not have long term effects on economy, instead of enhancing skills development in the people.
“We are not paying attention, to the expertise and potential that the people have in terms of the role that they play in economic development,” she said.
Dr. Musamba adds that developed Countries such as Singapore are economically stable because they invest more in human skills development which yields positive results in all sectors of the economy as seen through construction, health facilities and job creation.
She however, says Zambia’s hope is not completely lost as the government can still restructure its development models and ensure they are closely tied to Human skills development.
“Not all hope is lost, government can still restructure its development models and ensure they are closely tied to promoting human resource,” Dr. Musamba.
