“…Research took place in various locations around the town of Ikelenge itself, including community halls, homes of residents, and the Kalene Hill hospital -a missionary hospital set up in 1905, with the present hospital built in the 1950s (Kalusa, 2014). It serves the Ikelenge district area of approximately 32,919 people (City Population, 2010), and patients who travel from neighbouring Angola and DRC, whose borders are approximately 15 miles away.…”

This study explores the under-researched link between clean energy and public health outcomes, and offers new insights into the link between wider access to clean energy and progress towards health outcomes, in particular the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes. This is the first study to consider the impact of a run-of-river hydropower plant (RORHP) in a remote rural community in Zambia in relation to health outcomes. Exploring this relationship establishes how the health benefits which renewable energy can bring can be capitalised upon to meet the health-related objectives of the United Nations sustainable development goals. Workshops and semi-structured interviews were conducted with a range of stakeholders including community members, health workers, business owners, and key people involved with the plant, to establish health and social impacts of the introduction of electricity in the community of Ikelenge. Findings are used to establish both synergies and trade-offs of the RORHP on the health of the community, and recommendations are made for the continued improvement of health following the introduction of the RORHP, to achieve further progress towards meeting SDG targets.

The Economic Impact of Christian Missionaries in Zambia

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the twentieth century, Africa became one of the most missionized regions. However, the experiences of the missionaries when settling in Africa varied based on the geographical, cultural, political, and economic context of the various regions. Consequently, studying long-term missionary influence is contingent on understanding the local conditions in which they settled. In this study, I emphasize that case studies provide a better understanding of the context; therefore, this chapter provides a clearer view of Zambia by introducing the geographical, pre-colonial, and colonial context.

The Economic Impact of Christian Missionaries in Zambia

This chapter delves into theories explaining Africa’s postcolonial economic development, with a focus on institutions, human capital, and the often-overlooked role of Christian missionaries. It explores how initial colonial setups, particularly missionary activities in education and healthcare, have lasting impacts on contemporary development. Through a concise examination of existing research, the chapter sets the stage for understanding the nuanced dynamics shaping Africa’s post-independence economic trajectory.
