185 2. 4 Staff Situation Since the start of Swedish support in 1982, SIDA has emphasized on the importance of zambianization of the staff. This process, however, is quite long.and difficult, particularly as the academic staff is concerned. Unfortunately, up to now, the department rely only on the expatriate academic staff. The number of professional surveyors in Zambia is still too small to provide the academic posts at the department. The academic staff development training sponsored by SIDA and NUFFIC concerns presently, three Zambian members of staff, who are studied the PhD and MSc programmes in the overseas academic institutions (University College London, KTH-Stockho 1 m, ITC-the Netherlands). Hopefully, the next Academic Staff Development Fellows will be recruited soon. Even though the importance of zambianization of the department is recognised, the number of SDF’s training has been inadequate. One of the main reasons for this, is that the surveying programme is relatively new at UNZA and the total number of graduates is stiil low (see tab.1). The requirement which has to be satisfied to get a post of the academic SDF at UNZA, is the B.Eng. degree with ’merit’ or better. Unfortunately, only a few graduate students have obtained such degree. To obtain more and better surveying students, the department has recently initiated the promotion of the survey education at UNZA by placing an advertisement in the national newspaper, distribution of professional pamphlets, hosting the departmental Open Day. The technical staff development training, has concerned two technicians, who after obtaining the National Diploma in Zambia, and a few years experience in surveying and photograrametry, were completed the Higher National Diploma in London. The recruitment and training of the new technicians in cartography, remote sensing and surveying is expected. 2.5 Research, Consultancy, Refresher Courses A number of different projects are carried out in the department, concerning digitizing of different types of maps, cadastral surveys, open pit survey, determination of dam deformations, boundary reconstruct ions and others. The pilot project for monitoring of the water and sewerage system at UNZA campus is also carried out by final year students, with the use of numerical stereoplotting method and with digitizing the orthophoto. The join research project is also planned within the UNZA/KTH Institutional Cooperation in Land Surveying. Each year a few different refresher courses in areas of computer assisted cartography, recent developments in surveying, photogrammetry and remote sensing are organised by department in conjunction with the Ministry of Lands & Natural Resources and also with Civil Engineering and Agriculture institutions. 3. THE REGIONAL COOPERATION IN TRAINING OF PROFESSIONAL SURVEYORS A number of various approaches have been done by the international organizations and institutions in different African countries, to integrate all efforts for establishing self sufficiency training of surveyors in Africa. The problem is quite complicate and not easy to solve. The shortage of manpower in different learning institutions is the main barrier. The proposals have been given by the Head of department of Surveying at the University of Zimbabwe, to discuss strategies and plan of action to enable the countries of the SADCC region attain self sufficiency, in such manpower from a regional perspective. The effort has been taken to arrange the meeting in
