Join the Chamber

Our History

The Kitwe & District Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KDCCI) has been a driving force in Zambia’s business landscape for over 60 years, making it one of the country’s oldest and most influential chambers. Strategically located in the Copperbelt Province, KDCCI serves as a hub for commerce, industry, and investment.

Kitwe’s economy is deeply rooted in mining, with its economic history tied to the early development of the Copperbelt. The district’s central location—surrounded by major economic hubs within a 65 km radius—enhances accessibility and business viability. As one of the most industrialized districts in the province, Kitwe offers a competitive advantage for businesses seeking growth opportunities.

Beyond mining, Kitwe is rich in natural resources, with 59,325 hectares of forestry reserves and favorable rainfall, supporting industries such as agriculture and manufacturing. These resources position the district as a key player in Zambia’s economic development.

Our Primary Role

The Kitwe & District Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KDCCI) serves as the voice of the business community, actively lobbying for policies that create a favorable business environment. We advocate for businesses by engaging with government authorities on key economic, trade, and industrial matters, ensuring that policies, taxes, and regulations support sustainable growth.

KDCCI continuously monitors the economic and regulatory landscape, addressing challenges that impact businesses while allowing entrepreneurs to focus on their operations. Through strategic interventions and representation, we champion the interests of our members, working to shape a business-friendly environment.

Additionally, we facilitate dialogue between the private sector and government, providing critical insights and offering a networking platform where stakeholders collaborate to resolve pressing industry issues.
