The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic in various parts of the world gives a major impact on health and economy in terms of trade, investment and tourism. Likewise, in the Zambezi Basin, the implementation of social distancing makes people very careful by limiting activities outside their home so that it impacts on various business actors, including Startup.

Covid-19 should not be a barrier for Startups to do business, because the Startups actors can promote their business through digital platforms that are provided by the Digital Smart Village.

In the current conditions, technology plays a big role in the sustainability of company operations. Case in point is by adopting cloud-based technology through accounting softwares like Nyamuka Books or online mentorship from Hallo Sophia.
