EXECUTVE SUMMARY

Background
The Manja Pamodzi initiative was founded as a project initiated by Zambian Breweries (ZB) Plc. and implemented in selected peri-urban communities in the City of Lusaka. The project implementation by ZB began in February 2015 and in November 2015 the initiative was joined by Millennium Challenge Account Zambia (MCAZ) under a co-funding agreement of United States Dollars $1,841,006.30 in total. Since 2018, the Initiative has since been registered as a Company limited by guarantee, Manja Pamodzi Foundation Limited. The establishment of Manja Pamodzi Foundation Limited as a stand-alone recycling entity is meant to enable multi stakeholder participation and increased participation in the recycling value chain. This will further enable income generation for expansion of its activities and outreach with regards to the number of areas, beneficiaries, overall cleaner communities, and a growing recycling industry.
