[Blanka Balfer]

Zambia 2011 will be launched in Lusaka. This AMB was conducted during 
the run-up to the presidential elections of the 20th October.

The media environment in the country is beset with political 
interference and lack of political will to promote media freedom, 
freedom of expression and access to information. The media operates in a 
policy vacuum, where there are no laws that specifically promote media 
freedom. For instance, a Freedom of Information Bill, tabled in 
Parliament in 2002 was withdrawn by the government in November of that 
year without any reason given or any consultation with the media.
Let' see whether the conditions for free and independent media will 
improve under the new government.
