US$20 MILLION SILVER LINING INDUSTRY PROJECT UNDERWAY IN LUSAKA SOUTH MFEZ

Zambia’s industrial expansion has advanced as Silver Lining Industry Limited began constructing its new production plant in the Lusaka South Multi-Facility Economic Zone (LS-MFEZ).

With an investment of US$20 million, the company will manufacture aluminium and glass products to strengthen the local supply chain and reduce imports. The project is expected to create around 530 local jobs, enhancing skills development and improving household incomes upon completion.

The development of Silver Lining Industry Limited within LS-MFEZ reinforces the zone’s role in Zambia’s economic reform. LS-MFEZ continues to serve as a hub for industrialisation, export growth, and job creation by attracting both local and international businesses.

This investment not only diversifies the economic zone but also boosts Zambia’s industrial sector, enhancing its competitiveness in regional and global markets.

The Sisters of the Holy Cross are constructing a USD 10 million University Teaching Hospital in the Lusaka South Multi-Facility Economic Zone (LS-MFEZ). The project’s strategic location aligns with the Government’s objective of expanding industrial and social infrastructure within the Zone. The LS-MFEZ provides an ideal setting for a major health and education facility, offering modern infrastructure, reliable utilities, and enhanced security.

The mission hospital intends to provide superior healthcare and train future doctors. The building is expected to improve Zambia’s health system, boost access to specialised care, and develop a medical teaching centre.
The hospital’s construction is advanced and on target to finish in 36 months. For decades, the Sisters of the Holy Cross have run community health centres and schools nationwide. This teaching hospital is Zambia’s largest health sector investment.
The hospital is expected to produce many jobs during building and operation, provide crucial healthcare to Lusaka’s growing population, and improve Zambia’s medical training.
The Holy Cross Sisters’ investment shows how faith-based organisations support government initiatives to improve healthcare, education, and sustainable development.
As building continues, health and education stakeholders are closely monitoring the project, seeing it as crucial to Zambia’s healthcare service and training.
