YAMBA
By MAIMBOLWA MULIKELELA-
THE Government has called for continued investment in human capital development to realise meaningful growth and increased revenues.
Secretary to the Treasury, Fredson Yamba said it was important to understand that investment in human capital was vital for the development or growth of an institution.
Speaking at the treasury, Asset and Liability Management workshop in Lusaka, Mr Yamba said the Government was committed to greater accountability and efficient use of public resources.
“The Government will therefore continue supporting programmes which contribute to the growth of a culture of accountability,” he said.
Mr Yamba said the programme was aimed at developing practical skills required for management of various portfolios.
Speaking at the same function, Development Bank of Zambia (DBZ) managing director Jacob Lushinga said DBZ recognises the importance of the private sector to economic development.
Mr Lushinga said the private sector had the potential to generate wealth and create jobs, thus contributing to poverty alleviation.
“We understand that our role is to contribute to social progress, economic development, the fight against poverty and the protection of the environment through the promotion and implementation of projects,” he said.
