Zambia is working with Türkiye to improve water management and sanitation as it recovers from a severe drought.
Water Development and Sanitation Minister Collins Nzovu met with Türkiye’s Ambassador to Zambia, Huseyin Barbaros Dicle, in Lusaka on Tuesday. They discussed ways to collaborate on sustainable solutions.
Nzovu welcomed Türkiye’s support, stressing the need for international partnerships. He said Türkiye’s expertise in water conservation technology could help Zambia build a more sustainable system.
Dicle described the meeting as productive. “We had a fruitful exchange with Minister Nzovu on cooperation in water management and sanitation,” he said.
Zambia is recovering from a prolonged drought in the 2023/2024 season. The crisis affected water supply and agriculture. To prevent future shortages, the government is focusing on conservation strategies like water harvesting.
The talks mark a step toward stronger cooperation. By using technology and innovation, Zambia hopes to improve water security and resilience.
