The Copperbelt Province is situated in Northern Zambia, a region which is very rich in minerals. It was the backbone of the Northern Rhodesian economy during British colonial rule, but its economic importance was severely damaged by a crash in global copper prices in 1973 and the nationalization of the copper mines by the government of Kenneth Kaunda.
Taxis, minibuses and private vehicles are common forms of transport. Public transport connects the major towns, while private vehicles are more convenient for travelling between towns and rural areas.
