Abstract
Many challenges were identified during
the Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP) in Zambia. To
address these challenges and realize pro-poor growth, the
Sixth National Development Plan (SNDP) was set in motion.
The SNDP, which covers 2011 to 2015, was designed to
accomplish three goals: to accelerate infrastructure
development (roads, bridges, air, water, rail and border
infrastructure, feeder roads, water canals, tourist access
roads), to improve the provision of basic services including
water and sanitation, electricity access, health, education
and skills development to promote rural investment; and to
accelerate poverty reduction, mainly through the continued
implementation of the Rural Finance Program and to enhance
human development.
