Shaping Zambia’s Digital Future: Insights from Washington D.C.

Shaping Zambia’s Digital Future: Insights from Washington D.C.

Corelink Consulting recently joined a strategic mission to Washington D.C. under the Digital Zambia Acceleration Project (DZAP). In collaboration with the World Bank, public and private sector leaders convened to develop a roadmap for Zambia’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI).

Key Highlights for Zambia’s Digital Economy:

  • Interoperability & Data Exchange: A focus on overhauling national data exchange platforms to prioritize data ownership and citizen consent management.

  • Digital Identity: Zambia is accelerating the rollout of a new National Digital ID by 2026, leveraging the open-source MOSIP framework to unlock financial and social inclusion.

  • Scaling e-Services: The government is set to expand from 383 digital services to over 1,000, drastically reducing bureaucracy.

The Future of Payments: Zampay & Beyond

During the mission, the Corelink CEO highlighted the critical role of Zampay, the National Payment Gateway. Discussions centered on its potential to revolutionize the digital landscape by:

  • Streamlining P2G (Person-to-Government) payments for effortless tax and levy collections.

  • Enhancing G2P (Government-to-Person) disbursements to ensure social protection funds and salaries reach citizens efficiently and securely.

Corelink remains at the forefront, utilizing our expertise in Government Service Bus (GSB) development to help re-engineer a world-class digital infrastructure for all Zambians.
