Report by Zambia

Zambia has continued to maintain a trade policy aimed at enhancing productivity and competitiveness of Zambian products in both the domestic and international markets. This objective has been strengthened during the review period with the launch of the Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP) in 2006 for the period 2006-2010 and the Vision 2030, which articulates the country’s long term development objectives. The FNDP focus is to enhance rural development, especially agriculture; strengthen the linkages between the resource sectors with manufacturing; foster a competitive and outward-oriented economy; and improving infrastructure and social service delivery.
