January 22, 2019

A national dissemination workshop to discuss the key findings of a fuel economy study in Zambia took place in November 2018 in Lusaka, Zambia. The workshop was organized by the Zambian Environmental Management Agency with participants drawn from various government ministries, fuel and vehicle industry, the academia and the media. Also in attendance were representative of UN Environment and the University of Nairobi to provide regional and international experiences in promoting vehicle fuel economy. Zambia is one of the nine African countries being supported by the Foundation of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile to analyse the fuel economy of their vehicle fleet. Fuel economy baseline studies are key in supporting policymaking processes to promote more fuel-efficient vehicle importation. Other countries supported through the Foundation are Egypt, Ghana, Senegal, Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Liberia and Namibia.
