The Government of Zambia has enhanced its climate resilience capabilities with the official handover of 15 automated weather stations from the Southern African Science Service Centre for Climate Change and Adaptive Land Management SASSCAL. The new installations mark a major step forward in strengthening the country's data infrastructure for climate monitoring and disaster preparedness.
The handover ceremony, held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Lusaka under the theme "Enhancing Climate Change Response Through Modern Climate Data Infrastructure and Technological Solutions in Zambia," underscored the central role of technology and data in Zambia's sustainable development agenda.
Funded through the German-supported SASSCAL WeNet Project, the initiative aligns with President Hakainde Hichilema's transformative agenda, which emphasizes climate resilience, technology integration, and data-driven governance. The Ministry of Technology and Science, represented by Permanent Secretary Eng. Dr. Brilliant Habeenzu, reaffirmed the government's commitment to adopting innovative technological solutions for climate adaptation and environmental sustainability.
