Who we are
Our Value Proposition
At Evergreen Ventures Zambia (EVZM), we serve as a bridge to prosperity for communities in Zambia’s resource-rich regions that remain distant from key market networks. These areas hold abundant potential – from vast arable lands and mineral wealth to water resources and strategic trade locations – but have historically lacked access to commercial opportunities, value chain enhancement, scaled resource optimization, and financing solutions due to their distance from established trade corridors.
Our Mission
To transform isolated regions into centers of sustainable prosperity by connecting local resources to market opportunities, while amplifying community voices, preserving cultural heritage, and building inclusive economic frameworks.
Our Vision
A world where geographically isolated communities thrive through self-directed development, equal access to markets, and the power to scale their traditional resources into sustainable prosperity.
EVZMs value proposition to these challenges lies in our Growth Bridge strategy which emphasizes what we at EVZ call the three imperatives:
We recognize that each communitys needs and solutions are unique to their geography, socioeconomic heritage, and circumstances.
Growth Bridge Strategy
The three imperatives of our Growth Bridge Strategy speak to pioneering pathways where
there was trade isolation for lack of scaled enterprise to close the gap to unlocking shared
prosperity.
Community Partnership
Evergreen Ventures Zambia operates on a paradigm where local communities actively shape their development narrative. By establishing cooperatives and bridging gaps in financial literacy and investment, we empower marginalized regions to take ownership of their progress. This inclusive approach ensures sustainable economic growth extends beyond profit, fostering unity that endures
Equitable Cultural Placemaking
Equitable Cultural Placemaking combines social justice with development, amplifying local voices while promoting inclusive prosperity. We respect existing cultural systems, weaving them into growth strategies. Through our Pioneer Hub Projects, we ensure leadership opportunities, youth involvement, and equitable access, enabling isolated Zambian communities to build shared wealth and lasting progress.
