Private Enterprise Programme Zambia

Private Enterprise Programme Zambia is funded by UKaid, Private Enterprise Programme Zambia (PEPZ) and is strengthening the capacity of Zambian micro, small and medium enterprises to help diversify the Zambian economy and create jobs.

Business Linkages Programme
Business Linkages Programme (BLP) is implemented under PEPZ to strengthen the relationship between local SME suppliers and large corporations through supplier development programs and the matchmaking of buyers and suppliers.

Zambia B2B Portal
Implemented under the BLP, the Zambia B2B portal seeks to increase trade between local SME suppliers and large corporations through the creation of a database of suppliers and buyers and the provision of electronic tools to enable buyers to submit tender information and receive bids from suppliers.
