ZamPost
The history of postal services in Zambia dates back to 1896 when the first post offices were established at Abercorn, Fort Jemeson (present-day Mbala, Chipata), and the Kalungwishi River, near Lake Mweru.However, these post offices did not enjoy international recognition until 1926, when the General Post Office, which was then a government department, was admitted to the general membership of the Universal Postal Union (UPU).In 1975 by an Act of Parliament, a statutory body was established to run both postal and telecommunications.The corporation also provides several third-party businesses on an agency basis using its country-wide network strength as a retailing channel.In May 2022, at the inaugural EU-Zambia Economic Forum in held in Lusaka, the government of Zambia signed an MoU with ASSECO of Poland, Europe's sixth biggest software company, to set up a € 10.0 million joint venture company to digitise and improve the operations of ZamPost.
