ZAMBIA Development Agency (ZDA) says the one-stop-shop integrated system (OSSIS) facility expected to be launched in the fourth quarter of this year on a trial basis, will help speed up the registration process for businesses.
According to a statement posted on the ZDA website, the OSSIS is an information and communication technology (ICT) programme that will enable stakeholder agencies share client registration information.
To this effect, ZDA has embarked on an ICT infrastructure integration programme to help reduce business registration and other processes to about two hours at the one-stop-shop.
The agency says the integrated system will also permit clients transact online and receive their certificates authorised from all relevant agencies within two hours.
ZDA says the system will further reduce irregularities in information held by various stakeholder agencies.
The key stakeholders of the facility include the Patents and Companies Registration Agency, the Zambia Revenue Authority, National Pensions Scheme Authority, Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission, the Department of the Immigration, and the Zambia Public Procurement Authority.
Other stakeholders include the Zambia Environmental Management Agency, Department of Tourism and the Workers Compensation Commission.
Others are the Zambia Wildlife Authority, Registrar of Co-operatives and the Livingstone Local Council.
