Welcome to PaNsaka, a place for ideas. For generations, in villages and towns across Zambia, “Pa nsaka” has meant a place of gathering to share ideas and discuss issues of importance. This blog and related collaborative PaNsaka networks were created on 1 May 2011 with this tradition in mind and to build a virtual "gathering place" where problem solvers can proactively and creatively cultivate their ideas. The long term goal is to ensure that these ideas are never lost or forgotten but refined, developed, referenced and acted upon until the time they mature to reality.

How does Zambia compete on the global stage?

How would you assess the soundness of banks in a country after the worst financial crisis in decades? Out of 139 countries, Canada is at number 1 with the healthiest banks and at 139, Ireland is last with the highest risk of bank insolvency. The United States is at a low 111, just one above Germany and the United Kingdom is at 133 between Chad, Burundi and Zimbabwe. Zambia is at number 56, just above Italy. - World Economic Forum Global Competitive Report 2010-2011.
