  • Aid and poverty reduction in Zambia : mission unaccomplished
  • 2002
  • Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
    • Zambia, a once prosperous African country, now has 73 percent of its people below the poverty line and by the early 1990s, the country had reached a level where the UN General Assembly included it on the list of the least developed countries. With crippling indebtedness amidst poor economic performance, Zambia is at present one of the world's most heavily indebted low-income countries. And poverty continues to take its toll with the province housing the capital city registering the highest increase in poverty over the 1996 to 1998 period. This means that, although rural areas have the highest poverty levels, Zambia's urban centres are fast catching up. With help from donors, poverty reduction is at the centre stage on the Zambia development agenda after almost two decades of externally prescribed experiments with adjustment and stabilisation as a panacea for welfare improvement. But despite significant aid volumes and structural reforms, the country is getting deeper and deeper into poverty. What is the missing link between aid and positive change? Is the problem mainly that the volume of aid is not sufficient and, as is often heard, more of it would make a difference? Is the sluggish social and economic progress in Zambia appropriately diagnosed and correct remedies and strategies prescribed? This book attempts to address these and related questions.

  • The aid relationship in Zambia : a conflict scenario
  • 1996
  • Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Does aid work? This book examines this issue. But rather than trying to establish how effective aid has been, the focus is shifted towards to one of the key edterminants of effectiveness - the aid relationship. It looks at the relationship between Zambia and its donors and discusses the likely impact of aid in a country where poverty has become rampant and the international debt has reached unmanageable proportions.

  • Zambia's policies towards foreign investment : the case of the mining and non-mining sectors
  • 1987
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This study argues that the changes in Zambia's policy towards foreign investors over the years from 1964 to 1985 have been conditioned by objective factors, both internal and external to the Republic and that the influence of ideology appears to be fairly minimal. The economy has remained basically 'mixed' in content despite several institutional and structural re-organizations and foreign investment has, thus, continued to play its pivotal role in the country's economic life.

  • Changing aids relations in Zambia : (Perspectives No 10)
  • 2008
  • Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The aid architecture is changing radically in many countries today, largely in step with the implementation of the 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. In that document, donors and partner countries committed themselves to new ways of operating in which aid is more efficiently planned, delivered and evaluated. Zambia’s relationship with the donor community has undergone multiple revisions over the years. Particularly the manner in which aid is disbursed and the conditionalities to which it may be attached have emerged as discussion topics in Zambian politics. A special focus herein has been the potential impacts of the reforms under way in the wider aid system on the possibilities for Zambia to implement its own development plans. To position itself to take advantage of the new aid modalities currently being promulgated, the country has drafted an aid policy and strategy, implemented a joint assistance strategy and developed its local planning processes. This Discussion Paper examines the process of changing aid modalities, commenting on the time, resources and commitment that both donors and national governments must invest to make the new aid framework work, in cooperation with key stakeholders from national civil society. Focusing on the case of Zambia, it concludes that new aid modalities and revitalised national governance processes are vital if development cooperation is to lead to sustainable development and reduced aid dependency.
