ZNBC says..SEED project to be revised

The World Bank is expected to revise the $6.5 million loan towards the SEED project in Livingstone.

Livingstone Town Clerk, George Kalenga said SEED is being reviewed in order to increase funding to some of the components of the project.

These include road rehabilitation and the construction of Mukuni Park.

Mr. Kalenga however told ZNBC news in Livingstone that some of the components of the project, such as capacity building in the city council could be dropped.

The SEED project is a loan that the World Bank gave the Zambian government for improving tourism infrastructure in the country.

The implementation of the project started in Livingstone because the city is Zambia's tourist capital.

Currently stakeholders are meeting in Lusaka over the restructuring of the SEED project.
