The Zambia Federation of Cooperatives in Mining serves as the apex cooperative organization representing all mining cooperatives in Zambia. Legally registered under the Cooperative Societies Act No. 20 of 1998, its primary aim is to enhance and elevate the endeavors of its member-affiliate mining cooperatives and the broader Zambian community. This objective is pursued with the intention of improving the economic and social well-being of individual members.
The Federation operates with a comprehensive set of goals, including.
ZFCM strives to create a conducive operational atmosphere for all mining cooperatives across Zambia. This initiative is geared towards stimulating mineral value addition within the country.
The Federation actively forges business connections both domestically and internationally. This strategic networking aims to advance the cause of mining cooperatives while fostering collaboration with local and global investors and partners.
A core focus of ZFCM involves advocating for the interests of its member affiliates. Through information sharing and training programs, the Federation equips these cooperatives with insights into various mining investment opportunities.
ZFCM secures funding for its initiatives through two primary avenues: contributions from its member-affiliate cooperatives and revenue generated from the Federation's business activities.
