    Challenges that face Salaula Street Vendors in their Trading: A case study of Lusaka Central Business Dstrict
    (2020) JERE, Everlyn
    This study investigates the socio-economic challenges faced by Salaula Street Vendors in the Lusaka CBD. Using a mixed-methods approach, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 100 respondents through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings revealed several key challenges, including limited access to start-up capital, high costs of acquiring Salaula bales, and the overall economic instability of the sector. Based on these findings, the study recommends that local authorities adopt inclusive strategies such as integrating vendors into social cash transfer schemes, youth and women empowerment initiatives, and the construction of designated Salaula shops at strategic locations within the CBD to benefit both the vendors and their customers.
