The President of the Riders and Online Store Sales Association (ROSSA) is advocating for the implementation of safety measures and life insurance coverage for employees and freelance members of courier companies. This will not only ensure the well-being of workers, but also encourage more individuals to join the industry. The Association has already signed a life insurance agreement with an insurance company in Zambia, and it is important for all stakeholders to prioritize the safety and security of those involved in door-to-door delivery services.
According to Mr. Shimunika Chris Nyirongo, the rise in demand for door-to-door delivery services in the e-commerce sector presents a promising opportunity for job creation. Riders play a crucial role in providing last-mile deliveries, ensuring that packages reach their intended destinations. As more and more consumers turn to online shopping, the need for reliable and efficient delivery services continues to grow, making this a potentially lucrative field for those seeking employment.
Door-to-door delivery services have the potential to create job opportunities for young people, both male and female. At ROSSA, we believe in contributing to various organizations such as NAPSA, ZRA, NHIMA, and Workers Compensation to ensure that our members are properly supported. With the help of RTSA and the Ministry of Transport and Logistics, we can promote road safety awareness and provide licenses and proper gear to young riders who may be operating without them. By investing in this sector, we can help to create a more sustainable future for our youth.
Door-to-door delivery services have the potential to create job opportunities and boost economic growth. In Zambia, the ROSSA company/association was founded with the goal of advocating for and protecting motorbike riders on the road, promoting road safety awareness, and fighting against cybercrimes that target online store owners. By providing reliable and secure delivery services, companies like ROSSA can help support local businesses and create employment opportunities for individuals in the community.
While door-to-door delivery services have the potential to create job opportunities, there are concerns about the safety of delivery riders. In recent times, there has been a rise in motorbike accidents involving riders without licenses, making it difficult for them to claim insurance benefits. Tragically, some of these accidents have resulted in fatalities, leaving families and communities devastated. It is important for companies to prioritize the safety of their delivery riders and ensure that they are properly trained and licensed to operate motorbikes.
Door-to-door delivery services have the potential to create job opportunities for young people in every district and location. At ROSSA, we plan to work with corporations to ensure that local delivery business is given to licensed and trained youth riders. We will prioritize road safety and route management training to ensure that these young people can provide efficient and reliable delivery services. By empowering young people with these skills, we can create a promising opportunity for job creation and economic growth.
