PROJECTS

At ZCRBA, partnerships are the foundation of our impact. We’ve successfully implemented climate-resilient building projects across Zambia, working hand in hand with local, regional, and international organizations committed to sustainable development.

From promoting green construction and climate adaptation to advancing innovation in eco-friendly housing, our joint efforts have transformed communities. Through technical training, policy engagement, and on-the-ground engagement, each initiative reflects our shared goal: a safer, greener, and more inclusive built environment.

Our collaborators include NGOs, government bodies, academic institutions, and private sector champions — united in building a climate-resilient future.
