This morning we formulated a list of the people I want to meet over the next couple of weeks. It includes government officials, training providers and transport operators from various modes. Some of them will respond best if I just call into their offices; others prefer a couple of days' notice. I plan to ask everybody open questions about their opinions and demands of CILT.
The currency here is hard to equate. One pound sterling is about 7,200 Zambian Kwacha, so I feel like a millionaire with my purse full of huge notes. CILT has a handful of corporate members who each pay a subscription of about five million Kwacha. I started trying to imagine companies paying five million pounds for membership of CILT(UK) before I realised it's more like 700 pounds. That's still expensive in anyone's currency though, and the important question I want to answer is what value they expect for their money.
