The Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (ZICTA) is a regulatory body responsible for regulating the ICT industry in Zambia. It is authorised by three Acts — the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act No. 21, the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) Act No. 15 of 2009, and the Postal Services Act No. 22 of 2009 — and regulates ICT, postal and courier services in Zambia. ZICTA is governed by a Board of Authority of nine executive members; all decisions of the Board are executed by the Director General.[2] It is most visible to the public and active through their Facebook page relating to issues pertaining to the mobile phone market.[3] In November 2019 the Zambian Minister of Transport and Communications dissolved the ZICTA board.[4]
