Zambia

The preliminary mission took place in May 2004. Based on the concept note prepared after the preliminary mission, the main mission was organized in June 2004. Aide-mémoires were prepared for both missions. The draft DTIS was sent to the government in March 2005.

The government requested the DTIS team to conduct three priority studies on a short notice. These included an assessment of the economic impact of implementing the proposed COMESA Common External Tariff(s), a study on the export of scrap metal from Zambia and a review of outstanding management issues relating to the implementation of the Export Processing Zone Act.

Upon completion of the DTIS, the national workshop took place in July 2005.

The DTIS findings were fully integrated into the Private Sector Development Program. Trade policies and private sector development are being incorporated into the New National Development Plan, which will subsume the PRSP. The government formally approved the final version of the DTIS in June 2006.

One Window II project has been launched: capacity building for IF implementation.

The DTIS findings have been fully incorporated into Private Sector Development Program through which DTIS priorities are being supported by development partners.
