The Minister of Finance, Dr. Bwalya K.E. Ng’andu, in his maiden budget presentation informed the nation that the 2020 budget would continue to propagate the objectives of the Seventh National Development Plan, and austerity measures and key reform areas in the Economic Stabilization and Growth Programme. These areas will continue to be adopted in the 2020 budget and in the medium term as they aim to: enhance domestic resource mobilization, refocus expenditure, narrow the fiscal deficit, reduce the pace of debt accumulation and dismantle domestic arrears. The Minister indicated that in an attempt to enhance domestic revenue mobilization, a number of measures will be implemented in the medium term such as: continued modernization and automation of revenue collection processes and provision of Government services; continued roll out of electronic fiscal devices; development of a national policy on avoidance of double taxation; accelerating the implementation of land titling and revaluation of properties; and adjusting fees and fines to cost-reflective levels.

  • OP6 SGP Zambia CPS , Baseline Assessment
    1 GEF-SGP OP6 ZAMBEZI LANDSCAPE BASELINE ASSESSMENT REPORT Mulungushi University Kabwe March 2016 1 2 Executive Summary This GEF-SGP OP6 Zambezi Landscape Baseline Assessment report is a response to the call by the United Nations Development Programme Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (UNDP GEF SGP) for managing the environment and resources in Zambia. The call aims at supporting the creation of global environmental benefits and the safeguarding the global environment through community and local solutions that complements and adds value to national and global level actions. The baseline report attempts to provide the general environmental outlook of the Zambezi Catchment referred to as Zambezi landscape. Key areas of focus included Biodiversity, International Waters, Climate Change, Land Degradation and Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). These were analysed in the Zambezi Landscape covering Mwinilunga in North-Western, Sioma- Nangweshi in Western and Sinazongwe and Chirundu in Southern Provinces. This coverage represents the most parts of the Zambezi river catchment which is very important for cultural, fishery, touristic and hydro power generation for Zambia. Under this study, the landscape was categorised into three parts, Upper Zambezi, Middle and Lower Zambezi Landscapes. The baseline study findings reveal the status of the Landscape. In the upper Zambezi landscape of Mwinilunga district in North Western Province, the biodiversity is rich with thick forests, receiving high rainfall of over 1000 mm annually. There have been no significant variations in the amount of rainfall received over the past decade. Beekeeping is the one of the major livelihood activities with over 5000 beekeepers who largely practice traditional beekeeping by making hives using tree barks.
