Economic growth has maintained momentum and picked up in 2006 to a preliminary estimate of 5.8 percent, largely driven by expansion in mining, transport and construction sectors. This growth was underpinned by favourable macroeconomic conditions. Macroeconomic conditions remained favourable with inflation reaching single digit levels for the first time in more than three decades. The fiscal deficit continued to be within sustainable levels whilst interest rates, though relatively high, were edging downwards. It is evident that implementation of prudent monetary and fiscal policies is paying off coupled with debt relief received from international creditors. Supply-side factors, such as increased food supply following a good harvest in 2006, also contributed to reducing inflation. The world economy continued to be strong with emerging markets and developing countries enjoying exceptional growth. Global economic expansion was supportive of growth in the domestic economy as it led to continued high demand and prices for commodities such as copper, which is Zambia's chief export commodity. The rise in the price of copper positively affected the trade balance, which recorded a significant surplus in 2006. Consequently, the current account deficit reduced by a large margin. However, rising oil prices exerted pressures on the prices of petroleum products and inflation in general. On the social front, marginal progress was recorded as evidenced by improvements in some health service delivery and education indicators. However, service delivery in general remains a source of concern with outcomes still precarious especially in the health sector. The health sector continued to operate below 40 percent human resource capacity for nearly all categories of staff. This is a huge challenge which will require concerted efforts to overcome. While noting the pick up in economic growth, it is important to note that mining expansion has strongly contributed to this growth. To make major strides in uplifting the living conditions of many of the poor people, major inroads have to be made to accelerate and achieve higher growth rates in the key sectors of manufacturing and agriculture. This is consistent with the growth and poverty strategy outlined in the Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP). Enhancing the business environment to to facilitate easier entry in these key sectors is also essential. Moving ahead, it is imperative that the reforms under the private sector development programme are accelerated together with infrastructural improvements in line with the FNDP. C. Evans Chibiliti Secretary to the Treasury Ministry of Finance and National Planning v CHAPTER 1 DEVELOPMENTS IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY Overview The global economy continued to grow in 2006, registering a growth of 5.1 percent compared to 4.3 percent in 2005. This growth was led by the United States, the euro area and Japan. Additionally, continued growth in emerging markets and developing countries added impetus to world output. This phenomenal growth in emerging markets was led by China. In line with the expansion in the global economy, the volume of world trade grew by 8.9 percent from 7.2 percent in 2005. Inflation in advanced economies in 2006 increased modestly to 2.6 percent from 2.3 percent in 2005, mainly on account of the high oil prices. However, inflation in emerging markets and developing countries was lower. Interest rates in major advanced economies were relatively higher, against a background of rising inflation and continued growth. Developments in Industrial Countries Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in industrial countries was 3.1 percent compared to 2.6 percent in 2005. This growth was led by the U.S economy, which increased by 3.4 percent compared to 3.2 percent in 2005, mainly on account of increased corporate investment supported by high capacity use and strong profitability. Nonetheless, the slowdown in the housing market dampened private consumption and residential investment (see table 1.1). Growth in the euro area was highest in six years at 2.4 percent, up from 1.3 percent in 2005, with Germany leading the growth. This growth was mainly on account of stronger corporate balance sheets that paved the way for higher investment, rising employment, and a better balanced expansion. However, in Italy, profitably was weaker and corporate debt was on the increase. The Japanese economy continued to grow and registered a growth of 2.7 percent compared to 2.6 percent in 2005. The base of this expansion was the continued growth in private final domestic demand. Private fixed investment, in particular, continued to be buoyant, underpinned by robust profits and a turnaround in bank credit. Private consumption also increased but at a moderate rate. In the newly industrialized economies (NIEs), growth strengthened with a pickup in exports especially of electronic goods due to rapid growth in China and the strong global economy. 1 Table 1.1 Overview of the World Economic Outlook (Annual Percent Change unless Otherwise Stated) 2004 2005 2006* World output 5.3 4.9 5.1 Advanced economies 3.2 2.6 3.1 United States 3.9 3.2 3.4 Euro area 2.1 1.3 2.4 Germany 1.2 0.9 2 France 2.0 1.2 2.4 Italy 1.1 - 1.5 Spain 3.1 3.4 3.4 Japan 2.3 2.6 2.7 United Kingdom 3.3 1.9 2.7 Canada 3.3 2.9 3.1 Other advanced economies 4.6 3.7 4.1 New Industrialized Asian economies 5.9 4.5 4.9 Other emerging market and developing countries 7.7 7.4 7.3 Africa 5.5 5.4 5.4 Sub-Sahara 5.6 5.8 5.2 Central and eastern Europe 6.5 5.4 5.3 Commonwealth of Independent States 8.4 6.5 6.8 Russia 7.2 6.4 6.5 Excluding Russia 11.0 6.7 7.6 Developing Asia 8.8 9.0 8.7 China 10.1 10.2 10.0 India 8.0 8.5 8.3 ASEAN-4 5.8 5.1 5 Middle East 5.5 5.7 5 Western Hemisphere 5.7 4.3 4.8 Brazil 4.9 2.3 3.6 Mexico 4.2 3.0 4.0 Memorandum European Union 2.4 1.0 2.8 World growth based o market exchange rates 3.9 3.4 3.8 World trade volume (goods and services) 10.6 7.0 8.9 Imports Advanced economies 9.1 6.0 7.5 Other emerging market and developing countries 16.4 11.9 13.0 Exports Advanced economies 8.8 5.5 8.0 Other emerging market and developing coun tries 14.6 11.8 10.7 Commodity prices (U.S. dolla rs) Oil1 30.7 41.3 29.7 Non fuel (average based on world commodity export w eights 18.5 10.3 22.1 Consumer price s Advanced economie s 2.0 2.3 2.6 Other emerging market and developing coun tries 5.6 5.3 5.2 London interbank offered rate (LIBOR,perc ent) On U.S.

Briefly describe any significant highlights/accomplishments that took place during this reporting period. Please limit your comments to a maximum of 4 to 6 sentences. • Following the gaps that were identified during the routine TA visits to the districts in the first and second quarters, MCSP engaged the districts in the supported provinces in revising their 2018 annual workplans and budgets based on the data (scorecards) and service quality assessment (SQA) findings. Using these tools, MCSP influenced the inclusion of appropriate high-impact interventions (HIIs) to respond to identified gaps in the revised workplans and recommended the allocation of resources in an equitable manner. Consequently, Districts revised the 2018 CoC plans to incorporate these recommendations and identified interventions that would be included in the 2019 plans in all provinces. Additional details are provided in the provincial report annexes. • MCSP provided technical assistance (TA) during the provincial integrated management meeting (PIM) across all of the four target provinces. These meetings provided an opportunity for MCSP to identify areas requiring TA in a context-specific and responsive manner to the needs of each district. MCSP contributed to discussions in those meetings by making on-the-spot recommendations for improving specific indicators. For example, using a very brief role play, MCSP graphically showed districts a simple way of estimating the number of new FP acceptors.

Summary 2. The Project 3. Economic Rationale 4. Feasibility Analysis 5. Project Contacts 6. Next Steps ICA Meeting: Financing Transport for Growth in Africa 2 Briefing Memorandum: Kazungula Bridge – Botswana-Zambia 1. Summary The Kazungula Bridge Project consists of the construction of a bridge across the Zambezi River between Botswana and Zambia, as well as the improvement of border facilities situated near the crossing. The main objective of the Kazungula Bridge is to replace the ferry service between the two countries, which suffers from slow traffic clearance as a result of limited carrying capacity. The bridge will form an important part of the trade infrastructure of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the African continent. The construction of the Kazungula Bridge would enhance transport operations along the regional north-south corridor, which links the mineral-rich regions of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Botswana and the port of Durban in South Africa. In light of its importance, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) commissioned a study by Nippon Koei and Oriental Consultant. The study, published in March 2001, confirmed the technical and economic feasibility the project. The total cost for the Kazungula Bridge is estimated at US$ 70 million, with an additional US$ 30 million required for the border control facilities. Nippon Koei and Oriental Consultants have estimated that the construction would take 4 years, excluding engineering studies.

    Preparatory Survey for Southern Africa Integrated Transport Program Chapter 4 4 Development Directions for Regional Infrastructure 4.1 Infrastructure Bottlenecks under Growth Scenarios 4.1.1 Current Industrial Situation of the Corridors In parallel with the macro analysis undertaken in Chapter 2, summary information on development potential in the region (especially of mineral resources development accompanied by cross-border transport improvements and an overview of a Mega Project) are presented in this section. More details may be found in Appendix B. The results serve as input to Section 4.1.3 on Infrastructure Bottlenecks under the Growth Scenarios. The figure below visually summarizes the mineral and agricultural potential in the Southern African region. (The number of corridor in Figure 4.1.1 corresponds to this section’s paragraph number.) Figure 4.1.1 Mineral and Agricultural Resources and Corridors (1) Nacala Corridor Nacala is regarded as the best location for a deepwater port on the East African coast. The Nacala Corridor has consequently been at the forefront of ongoing initiatives to rehabilitate the rail link to Malawi, thereby creating a number of “anchor” tenants and promoting development 4-1 Preparatory Survey for Southern Africa Integrated Transport Program Chapter 4 along the corridor. Together with Beira and other corridors (Sena and Tete), these developments have been linked to the possible export of coal from the Moatize and Benga coal fields as well as from the Muchana Vuzi coal fields north of the Cahorra Bassa Dam in Tete Province, Mozambique. The corridor is ultimately seen as linking Lusaka in Zambia with the Port of Nacala.
