 1. Overview of SNDP Goals and Strategies

1.1 Introduction
The Sixth National Development Plan (SNDP) 2011–2015 is the successor to the Fifth National
Development Plan (FNDP), aimed at actualising the aspirations of the Vision 2030 of becoming “a
prosperous middle-income nation by 2030”. While the FNDP set the pace for improving economic
infrastructure and investing in human development, the SNDP aims to build on the gains of the FNDP
in the process of attaining the Vision 2030.

The theme of the SNDP is “sustained economic growth and poverty reduction”. The objectives of
the SNDP are to accelerate: infrastructure development; economic growth and diversification; rural
investment and poverty reduction and enhance human development.

While recognizing the importance of all sectors, the SNDP contains only sector programmes that
have been identified as critical to achieving the overall objectives of the Plan. In view of this, the
Plan contains the following sections: Economic and Social Developments; Infrastructure; Human
Development; Growth sectors; Support sectors; Regional Development and Monitoring and Evaluation
Institutional Arrangement. Cross-cutting issues such as Governance, Human Immune-Deficiency Virus
and Acquired Immune-Deficiency Syndrome, Gender, Disability, Nutrition, Environment and Disaster
Risk Management have been mainstreamed.

1.2 Macroeconomic Policies and Structural Reforms

1.2.1 Macroeconomic Developments

During the FNDP period, economic growth improved averaging 6.1 percent per annum over the period
2006-2009 compared with an average of 4.8 percent attained during the Poverty Reduction Strategy
Paper (PRSP)/Transitional National Development Plan (TNDP) period. However, the growth was still
below the envisaged average growth target of 7.0 percent.

Annual inflation was much lower, averaging 11.3 percent as compared to 20 percent during the PRSP/
TNDP period, however, it was still below the FNDP target of single digit inflation. With regard to
lending rates, they declined to 27.3 percent from 46.2 percent during the PRSP/TNDP period. Over the
review period, the high levels of lending rates and the limited availability of long-term finance remained
the major constraints to growth, particularly for small to medium-scale enterprises. The exchange rate
of the Zambian Kwacha against major currencies steadily appreciated during the FNDP period.

The implementation of the envisaged fiscal outlays proved to be a challenge, mainly due to shortfalls in
domestic revenues and grants from Cooperating Partners. Over the FNDP period, current expenditures
were actually higher than domestically generated revenues. As a result, fiscal deficit averaged 1.9
percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during the period against the FNDP average target of 1.7
percent. Domestic debt increased by 25.9 percent to K10, 455.22 billion as at end-December 2009 from
K7,720.42 billion at the beginning of the FNDP period. However, as a proportion of GDP, domestic debt
fell from 20 percent in 2006 to 16.2 percent in 2009.

The labour force increased by 10 percent from 4.9 million in 2005 to 5.4 million in 2008 while total
employment grew by 26.4 percent to 5.2 million in 2008 from 4.1 million in 2005. In the formal
sector, male employment accounted for 71 percent compared to 29 percent for females. The level of

1
unemployment remained around 15.5 percent of the total labour force of which 70 percent were in urban
areas and 30 percent were in rural areas.

1.2.2 External Sector Developments

The external balances of the country improved significantly during the FNDP period. The current
account deficit averaged 4.8 percent of GDP compared to 11.3 percent of GDP during the PRSP/TNDP
period, and in 2009 it further narrowed to 3.2 percent of GDP. The increase in export earnings coupled
with a significant increase in FDI contributed to the favourable balance of payments position throughout
the FNDP period. The increase in exports contributed to the rise in international reserves to US $1.8
billion in 2009. In terms of import coverage, this represented an increase to over 4 months in 2009 from
1.5 months in 2005.

Total national external debt increased by 16.1 percent from US $2, 014.4 million in 2006 to US $3, 407.3
million at end 2009. This was mainly on account of a higher increase in private and parastatal debt of
over 100 percent from US $1, 084.0 million in 2006 to US $2, 250.4 million in 2009 while the public
debt increased by 24.4 percent from US $930 million in 2006 to US $1, 156.9 million in 2009. As a
proportion of GDP, external debt remained at around 9 percent and was sustainable.

1.2.3 Social Developments and Constraints to Growth

The country has made progress towards the attainment of the Vision 2030. The country’s per capita
Gross National Income increased from US $680 in 2006 to an estimated US $970 in 2009, only slightly
below the lower middle-income threshold of US $995. Progress has also been made with regard to
social developments in the country as indicated by improvements in the attainment of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) as the country is most likely to achieve all the goals except the one relating
to environmental sustainability. However, the challenge for the country is to improve the quality of life
for the majority of the population which has remained low especially in rural areas. The SNDP, therefore,
will focus on development strategies that address poverty, by ensuring that minimum requirements
including provision of health, education, water and sanitation and access roads are in place.

The population of Zambia stood at 9.9 million in 2000, estimated at 13.3 million in 2010 and is projected
to increase to 15.5 million by 2015 and to double by 2030. Zambia has a young and dependant population,
with 46.0 percent of the population being under the age of 15. This highly dependent population poses
a great socio-economic burden on the family and the entire nation. Further, the economic growth
experienced during the last decade has not translated into significant reductions in poverty and improved
general living conditions of the majority of Zambians. Job creation was not commensurate with the
gains registered from economic growth. In addition, economic growth and poverty reduction was further
constrained by several factors, among which were the following: poor infrastructure; low quality of
human capital; high cost of financial services; inefficiencies in public expenditure management and
limited access to land. However, if fully utilised, the population can contribute to economic growth for
sustainable development. Therefore, the focus of the SNDP will be on deliberate interventions that will
promote the creation of decent jobs and skills development particularly for young people.

1.2.4 SNDP Objectives and Strategies

In an effort to build on the successes and address the challenges identified during the FNDP period, the
SNDP will seek to attain the following objectives: accelerate infrastructure development, economic
growth and diversification; promote rural investment and accelerate poverty reduction and enhance
human development. Pursuant to these objectives, the Plan focuses on policies, strategies and programmes
that will contribute significantly to addressing the challenges of realising broad based pro-poor growth,
employment creation and human development.

2
The strategic focus of the SNDP is, therefore, to address the constraints of infrastructure and human
development. In order to reduce the high poverty levels in the rural areas and promote rural development,
focus will be on stimulating agriculture productivity and promotion of agro-businesses, improving the
provision of basic services such as water and sanitation, health, education and skills development. In
addition, investments in key economic infrastructure such as feeder roads, water canals, tourist access
roads and electricity access will be undertaken. The SNDP will also entrench cross-cutting issues of
Governance, HIV and AIDS, Gender, Disability, Nutrition, Environment and Disaster Risk Management.

1.2.5 Growth Areas in the SNDP

Zambia is endowed with natural resources which could provide an impetus to economic development.
However, while mining still remains important and will continue to be promoted, there is need to
aggressively diversify the economy to other sectors, in order to cushion against the negative effects
of external shocks. In line with the objectives and strategic focus of the SNDP, the growth areas will
be agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, mining and energy. The development in these areas will be
augmented by human development particularly in health, education and skills development, and water
and sanitation.

1.2.6 Monitoring the Implementation Framework of the SNDP

To achieve the goals and objectives of the SNDP, there is need to strengthen oversight for monitoring and
evaluation of programmes. Measures such as enforced multi-level performance audits and evaluation
and monitoring will be put in place to provide a clear and strong mechanism for tracking progress. Each
Programme in the SNDP is expected to address a particular objective whose output/outcome should
be demonstrated through a link between resources spent and outputs realised. Further, a programme
implementation monitoring matrix has been developed in each sector to show what outputs will be
generated from various SNDP programmes. To further bring out the benefits being realised from
the SNDP programmes, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) or any such proxy indicators have been
designated at outcome/impact levels as results manifest in different sectors.

1.2.7 Economic Management during the SNDP

The macroeconomic environment is expected to remain stable and conducive to growth over the SNDP
period. In this regard, emphasis will continue to be placed on maintaining a business-friendly and
growth-promoting environment. The key macroeconomic objectives, therefore, are as follows: sustain
single-digit inflation; enhance domestic revenue mobilisation; maintain a stable and competitive
exchange rate; reduce commercial bank lending rates; maintain public debt sustainability and increase
decent and productive employment.

Zambia’s economic growth prospects during this Plan period are positive. The GDP growth rate is
projected to be in the range of 6 to 7 percent per annum. Implementation of policies and investments
outlined in this Plan are expected to contribute to the positive growth. It is envisaged that the average
inflation rate will be single digit during the Plan period. A favourable external economic environment
is also envisaged. However, it is important that management of public finance should be sound with a
view to consolidate macroeconomic stability. In particular, the level of Government domestic borrowing
will be contained at sustainable levels, given its high cost both in absolute terms (interest payments) and
the potential crowding-out effect that it has on the private sector.

3
1.3 Cross-Cutting Issues

Governance, HIV and AIDS, Gender, Nutrition, Disability, Environment and Disaster Risk Management
are essential cross-cutting issues to the achievements of Zambia’s desired socio-economic development.
Cross-cutting issues that have already been mainstreamed in the Plan are outlined below.

1.3.1 Governance

Good governance remains the cornerstone for prudent management of public affairs and ensuring that
development outcomes benefit the people of Zambia. The focus during the SNDP period will be on
human and infrastructure development for governance institutions to enhance their delivery capacities.
In addition, governance institutions will be decentralised to provincial levels as well as streamlining good
governance practices in both public and private sectors, facilitate the domestication of provisions of the
international human rights instruments into law and ensure the implementation of the new Republican
Constitution. Other areas of focus will be the implementation of Parliamentary reforms, Access to
Justice Programme, the National Anti-Corruption Policy and the African Peer Review Mechanism
National Plan of Action. The following are the objectives, strategies and programmes for Governance
during the SNDP period:

institutions;
b) Streamline good governance practices

c) Enhance coordination amongst the
governance institutions.

1.3.2 Human Immune-Deficiency Virus and Acquired Immune-Deficiency Syndrome

The Human Immune-Deficiency Virus (HIV) epidemic presents major challenges to the achievement
of desired infrastructure and human development aspirations of the SNDP. HIV and Acquired Immune-
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) have the capacity to negate efforts to promote human development and
progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). During the SNDP period,
concerted effort will be targeted at the following six key drivers of new infections: high rates of multiple
concurrent sexual partners; low and inconsistent use of condoms; low rates of male circumcision;
mobility; vulnerable groups with high risk behaviours and Mother-To-Child Transmission (MTCT). The
following are the objectives, strategies and programmes for HIV and AIDS during the SNDP period:

e) Streamline and align the HIV and AIDS
Institutional Arrangements in line with the
Decentralisation Policy and other legal
instruments.

1.3.3 Gender

Gender involves attempts, on the basis of analytical findings, to formulate and implement policies in
a more gender-sensitive way by taking into account the special needs of each gender type. Therefore,
unless gender is considered, the government’s overall objectives in respect of development are unlikely
to be fully achieved. In this regard, Government will continue to advance the gender mainstreaming
into policies and legislation, and support the socio-economic empowerment of all, especially women.
Further, government will undertake to comprehensively integrate, into national policies and programmes,
important international and regional Conventions and Treaties on gender to which Zambia is party.
During the SNDP period, attention will be paid to interventions in agriculture, land, energy, commerce,
trade and industry, access to finance, education and skills training, governance and social protection
sectors and HIV and AIDS. The following are the objectives, strategies and programmes for Gender
during the SNDP period:

1.3.5 Disability and Development

Persons with disabilities face numerous barriers in realising equal opportunities and are more often
the poorest of the poor. In this regard, the Plan focus will be to accelerate mainstreaming of disability
issues in national development in order to improve the lives of Persons with Disabilities. This will be
done through the development and implementation of legislation, policies and programmes in line with
the UN Convention of Rights for Persons with Disability (UNCRPD). The following are the objectives,
strategies and programmes for Disability and Development during the SNDP period:

1.3.6 Environment

While socio-economic development is important in addressing poverty in Zambia, economic growth

can result in the deterioration of the environment if uncontrolled. During the Plan period, the National
Policy on Environment (NPE) and Environmental Protection and Pollution Control Act (EPPCA) will
be reviewed to address emerging issues on climate change and Strategic Environmental Assessment
(SEA). In addition, other sector policies that have a bearing on the environment will be strengthened to
promote environmental sustainability. The following are the objectives, strategies and programmes for
Environment during the SNDP period:

1.4 Financing
Over the SNDP period, Government projects to increase domestic revenues as a share of GDP to an
average of 18.6 percent from the FNDP target of 17.7 percent. In view of the envisaged increase in
domestic revenues, grants from Cooperating Partners are expected to reduce from an average of 3.3
percent of GDP in 2010 to an average of 2.1 percent over the SNDP period. Projected Government
expenditures are expected to broadly remain at an average of 23.8 percent of GDP during the Plan
period. Government’s intention during the SNDP period is to create more fiscal space to allow for
increased spending on core programmes. In this regard, Government projects expenses and liabilities to
decline from 17.2 percent of GDP in 2011 to 14.0 percent of GDP by 2015.

In line with the SNDP’s strategic focus of facilitating economic development through increased
investments in infrastructure, Government’s resource allocation towards capital expenditures is projected
to substantially increase from 6.1 percent of GDP in 2011 to 8.3 percent of GDP by 2015. The bulk of
these resources will go towards infrastructure development particularly in roads, health and education
and skills development. Financing of the HIV and AIDS interventions have been provided for within
the provisions for the Health Sector, and are wholly financed by Government. However, it is expected
that the efforts of combating HIV and AIDS will be complimented by external financing. Similarly, the
financing for Nutrition programmes have been included in the provisions for the Health and Agriculture,
Livestock and Fisheries sectors. In addition, Government will also commit a significant share of its
domestic resources to the rural electrification programme.

Total resources for the SNDP (2011-2015) are projected at K132.2 trillion and expected to average K26.4
trillion per annum. Of the total resources, non-discretionary expenditures such as Personal Emoluments,
Debt Service and Grants to Institutions will account for K78.7 trillion or 59.5 percent of the total
resources. The remaining balance of K53.6 trillion representing 40.5 percent of the total resources will
be applied on discretionary expenditures. Of the discretionary resources, K48.0 trillion or 89.6 percent
is earmarked for the strategic focus of the SNDP and will be applied on roads, health, education and
skills development, water and sanitation programmes and foreign financed capital projects. The balance
of K5.6 trillion will be directed to the rest of the SNDP programmes.

In the Plan period, Government will endeavour to facilitate Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects
across all areas of economic development and social service delivery for the benefit of the general
population. Total SNDP allocations per sector and for Priority Sectors over the SNDP period are as
follows:

2.1 Transport
Transport infrastructure serves as a central delivery mechanism in the generation of quality socio-
economic development. The Vision of the Transport sector is to have “a well developed and maintained
socio-economic infrastructure by 2030”. Its goal is “to enhance economic development of the prioritised
economic sectors through provision of improved quality of transport infrastructure”. During the SNDP
period, emphasis will be on road and railway transport maintenance and rehabilitation. However, efforts
will be made to invest in other transport infrastructure components namely air and water transport. In
the SNDP period, the Government will seek to strongly address the challenges in transport infrastructure
as these remain the major constraint to growth, economic diversification and human development. The
key focus will be on construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of physical infrastructure. The SNDP
objectives, strategies and programmes for the sector are as follows:

2.2 Energy

A viable energy sector is key to achieving sustainable economic development in the country as it is a
critical input into all sectors of the economy. The Vision of the Energy sector is “universal access to
clean, reliable and affordable energy at the lowest total economic, financial, social and environmental
cost consistent with national development goals by 2030”. Its goal is “to ensure that the following are
attained to guarantee availability and accessibility to adequate and reliable supply of energy at the
lowest economic, social and environmental cost; an increase of at least 1,000 Mw (50 percent) to the
2010 electricity generation capacity of 1,900 Mw; an increase of rural access to electricity from 3.5
percent to at least 15 percent and national access from 22 percent to 40 percent and an increase of over
100 per cent in the existing petroleum bulk storage facilities in order to achieve 30 days petroleum
strategic stock”. In this regard, the main thrust of the energy sector during the SNDP period, will be to
expand electricity generation and transmission capacities and enhance cost-effectiveness in fuel supply.
The SNDP objectives, strategies and programmes for the sector are as follows:

2.3 Housing

The lopsided pattern of development between rural and urban areas has resulted in very high rural-urban
migration without a corresponding effort to provide appropriate housing in the expanding urban regions.
The Vision for the Housing sector is “planned settlements with adequate, affordable and quality housing
by 2030.” The sector goal is “to facilitate the construction of adequate and affordable housing, increase
the existing housing stock and enhance quality”. During the SNDP period, the strategic focus will be to
increase the housing stock, improve the living environment in settlements and leverage the role of Public
Private Partnerships. The SNDP objectives, strategies and programmes for the sector are as follows:

sector that assures food security and increased income by 2030”. Its goal is “to increase and diversify
agriculture production and productivity so as to raise the share of its contribution to 20 percent of GDP”.
During the Plan period, the strategic focus under crop production sub-sector will be to develop irrigation
and farm blocks, enhance research and extension services and promote utilization of improved seed
varieties. Under livestock sub-sector, the focus will be to increase livestock numbers through the creation
of a Disease Free Zone (DFZ), infrastructure development and rehabilitation, enhance livestock disease
control, surveillance and research, developing livestock standards and grades and processing of livestock
and livestock products. For fisheries sub-sector, the strategic focus will be aquaculture development and
improvement of infrastructure for fisheries research and marketing. The SNDP objectives, strategies and
programmes for the sector are as follows:

2.9 Mining
The mining sector remains the major contributor to Zambia’s economic growth with its average share
being 9.1 percent between 2006 and 2009. Further, the sector’s contribution to foreign exchange earnings
and the country’s formal employment levels is at 70.3 percent and 8.5 percent respectively. There is,
therefore, high potential for the sector to contribute to poverty reduction and wealth creation in the
country. The Vision for the sector is “well organized private sector led mineral resource exploration
and exploitation that contributes to sustainable social economic development by 2030” and the goal is
“to raise the sector’s contribution to GDP to at least 20 percent”. During the SNDP period, the mining
sector will focus on increasing exploration projects, sustainable production and management of mineral
resources and increase productivity so as to maximize economic benefits from the sector. Furthermore,
the sector will focus on increasing value addition, expanding formal employment levels and its overall
contribution to GDP. In addition the sector will focus on human development to increase efficiency and
safety of mining operations. The SNDP objectives, strategies and programmes for the sector are as

by 2030”. The sector goal is “to increase tourism direct earnings from US $200 million in 2009 to
US $449 million in 2015 and to provide an enabling environment for safeguarding and promoting
Zambia’s cultural heritage and to ensure the development of economically viable creative industries.
During the SNDP period, the sector will focus on infrastructure development in three priority areas
namely Greater Livingstone area, Kafue National Park and Northern circuit. The other focus areas will
be tourism promotion and marketing, product development and human skills development. Further, Arts
and Culture will focus on the provision of requisite infrastructure and skills for the promotion of creative
industries for socio-economic development and preservation of Zambia’s cultural heritage. The SNDP
objectives, strategies and programmes for the sector are as follows:

2.15 Natural Resources

Zambia is endowed with vast and diverse natural resources that form the basis for economic activity.
These include land, wildlife, forest, minerals, natural heritage and wetlands. Effective and efficient
management of these natural resources can significantly contribute to national development through
foreign exchange earnings and employment creation. In addition, various natural resource products and
ecosystem services are important sources of livelihood and energy. The sector Vision is “a productive
environment and well-conserved natural resources for sustainable socio-economic development by
2030” and its goal is “to reduce the rate of deforestation, wildlife depletion and degradation of heritage
sites, land and wetlands. The focus of the sector during the Plan Period will, therefore, be to reverse
deforestation, wildlife depletion, heritage sites degradation and land degradation. Further, the sector will
enhance collaboration among players in natural resources management in order to ensure sustainable
exploitation of natural resources. The SNDP objectives, strategies and programmes for the sector are as
follows:

2.16 Local Government and Decentralisation

Local Government is an element of a public administration system at a local level that seeks to effectively
and efficiently deliver public services. Therefore, the National Decentralization Policy (NDP) seeks
to improve the functioning of the local government system by increasing responsibilities of the local
authorities through devolution of power with matching resources and embodying democratic principles.
The sector Vision is “a country with a fully decentralised and democratically elected system of governance
by 2030”. Its goal is “to improve service delivery by councils in line with the National Decentralisation
Policy (DIP)”. During the Plan period, the sector will focus on full implementation of the DIP with
special emphasis on devolution of functions, fiscal decentralization, reforming the local development
planning system, institutional and human capacity development and completion of updating valuation
rolls. Further, efforts will be intensified to enhance collaborations with Traditional Authorities on issues
of land for development. The SNDP objectives, strategies and programmes for the sector are as follows:

2.17 Social Protection

Social protection is a poverty reduction strategy that promotes human development, social equity and
human rights. The high levels of extreme poverty and vulnerability, coupled with multiple effects of
HIV and AIDS and unemployment provide a strong justification for the need for social protection. The
Vision for the Social Protection sector is “a nation with capacity to promote and provide sustainable
security against constant or periodic critical levels of deprivation and extreme vulnerability by 2030”.
The sector goal is “to empower low capacity households and provide social assistance to incapacitated
households and support to vulnerable people to live decent lives”. During the SNDP period, the focus
of the sector will be to effectively coordinate and provide social protection through empowering low
capacity households, providing social assistance to incapacitated households and supporting various
vulnerable groups. The SNDP objectives, strategies and programmes for the sector are as follows:

 3. Regional Development

Regional development is aimed at promoting balanced development, coordinated through a decentralized

and coherent process that ensures that the economic gains of the country impact all the regions
proportionately. The Vision for Regional Development is “sustainable and equitable socio-economic
development through sectoral and regional inter-linkages by 2030”. Its goal is “to reduce the proportion
of people living in poverty”. In order to achieve economic and social development and to also bridge
the inter and intra-regional disparities, focus of the sector during the SNDP period will be on improving
productivity in the regions based on comparative advantage and socio-economic needs. Given the
different comparative advantages and needs of the provinces, the priority areas for investments in each
province are highlighted below.

3.1 Central Province

Central Province has comparative advantage in agriculture with regard to maize, soya beans, sweet
potatoes and wheat production. The goal of the Province is poverty reduction through economic
diversification and increased investment in agriculture. The main focus for the Province during the
SNDP period will be on the provision of relevant infrastructure for agriculture in order to tap its huge
agriculture potential. The following are the objectives, strategies and programmes for Central Province
during the SNDP period:

Northern Province is the largest in the country and has two busy routes namely, the Great North Road
and TAZARA Railway Line. The Province has a comparative advantage in agriculture production of
cassava, coffee, paddy rice, mixed beans and millet. Its goal is to achieve increased and equitable access
to quality socio-economic services in order to improve the standard of living of the people. It also
harbours the Mpulungu Port which is Zambia’s main route to the Great Lakes Region. The main focus
during the plan period will be on improvement of road and energy infrastructure to facilitate growth
in agriculture and tourism. The following are the objectives, strategies and programmes for Northern
Province during the SNDP period:

 4. Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation Institutional
Arrangement

For the Sixth National Development Plan (SNDP), the focus will be on improving coordination of
Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) systems at national, provincial and district levels. Cabinet Office
will ensure that the Plan M & E Framework is adhered to by the various implementing institutions. There
will be need for an appropriate legal framework to support the operationalization of the implementation,
monitoring and evaluation institutional arrangement.

In addition to the roles being played by the various developmental and advisory Committees and in
order to enhance the monitoring and evaluation of the Plans, all stakeholders will need to take up their
roles and responsibilities for data collection, analysis and reporting. More specifically Parliament,
Auditor General’s Office, Ministry of Local Government and Housing and District Councils have been
incorporated into the Plan M & E Institutional Framework. Non-state actors will also play an important
complimentary role in monitoring and evaluation of Government programmes.

During the SNDP period, a Capacity Building Programme will be established to enhance smooth
implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programmes. A cadre of M & E professionals with
relevant skills will effectively monitor and evaluate development programmes. The Ministry of Finance
and National Planning (MoFNP) will coordinate implementation, monitoring and evaluation processes
and ensure that remedial measures by Cabinet are effected on programmes that are not on course.
