The report identified a number of basic actions to facilitate growth in the rural sector; these include (1) a (revived) system of regular manual maintenance of rural roads; (2) simple systems of animal disease control; animal movement control; health inspection of abattoirs, etc.; (3) a revival and refocus of agriculture extension services and research, with an emphasis on promoting diversity of production and a de-emphasis on the mono-cropping of maize; and (4) a revisiting of the Government's approach to the maize sector, including whether there is still a need for Zambia to be self-sufficient in maize, to provide inputs on arbitrarily changing terms, or to ban exports. The report begins with a discussion about the public sector and poverty reduction. At the heart of Zambia's loss of economic momentum has been the loss of effectiveness of the state administration, which has led to a business environment not sufficiently supportive of private investment and growth, and to poor performance in the delivery of social and infrastructure services essential for growth, security, and poverty reduction. The second chapter describes the nature and evolution of poverty in Zambia. A profile of the poor in Zambia is presented in Chapter 3, which analyzes poverty along three critical dimensions -poverty of private resources, poverty of access to public goods and services, and poverty of social relations. Chapter 4 then turns to an examination of the economic environment. Chapter 5 examines the links between health risk and poverty, identifies the major risks in Zambia that affect the poor, and describes the strategies used by households and communities to manage these risks. Chapter 6 looks at vulnerable groups and destitution, and finally chapter 7 explores the links between HIVIAIDS and poverty.CC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEACCESS TO EDUCATIONADULT LITERACYAGRICULTURAL INPUTSAGRICULTURAL SECTORBANKING SECTORBASIC EDUCATIONBEHAVIOR CHANGEBLUEPRINTCAPACITY BUILDINGCASH CROPSCHILD HEALTHCHILD HEALTH CARECHILD MORTALITYCHILD MORTALITY RATESCHRONIC MALNUTRITIONCHRONIC POVERTYCHRONICALLY POORCITIZENSCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCLEAN WATERCOMMERCIAL BANKCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCRIMECROP LANDDEATH RATESDEMAND FOR SERVICESDEMOCRACYDEVELOPMENT EFFORTSDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVESDEVELOPMENT PLANSDISABILITYDISSEMINATIONDRINKING WATERDRUGSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATIONECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMIC PROSPERITYECONOMIC REFORMSECONOMIC SHOCKSELDERLYEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESENVIRONMENTAL CHANGEEPIDEMICEPIDEMICSEXISTING RESOURCESFAMILY HEALTHFARM ACTIVITIESFARMERSFIRST PREGNANCYFOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONSFOOD AIDFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD CROPSFOOD PRICESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROWTH RATESHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMHIVHOSPITALHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSHUMAN SETTLEMENTSILLNESSESIMMIGRATIONIMPACT ON POVERTYINCOME POVERTYINDUSTRIALIZATIONINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFECTIOUS DISEASESINFORMED CONSENTINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSURANCEINSURANCE MARKETSINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL COOPERATIONINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATIONINVESTMENT CLIMATEIRRIGATIONKINSHIPKINSHIP NETWORKSLABOR FORCELIFE EXPECTANCYLITERACY RATESLIVE BIRTHSLIVESTOCK OWNERSHIPLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL COMMUNITIESMALARIAMALNUTRITIONMARKET ECONOMYMARKET FAILURESMATERNAL CAREMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMORTALITY RATENATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNATIONAL GOVERNANCENATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL POVERTYNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDSNURSESNUTRITION INFORMATIONNUTRITIONAL STATUSORPHANSPANDEMICPARENTHOOD ASSOCIATIONPARLIAMENTPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLITICAL LEADERSHIPPOLITICAL OPPOSITIONPOORPOOR COMMUNITIESPOOR HEALTHPOOR HOUSEHOLDPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PERFORMANCEPOPULATION CENSUSESPOST-REFORMPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY GAP INDEXPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION EFFORTSPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPOVERTY SEVERITYPOVERTY SITUATIONPOVERTY STATUSPREVENTION EFFORTSPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPROGRESSPUBLIC DEBATEPUBLIC EXPENDITURE REFORMPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGQUALITY OF SERVICESRATES OF GROWTHREMITTANCEREMITTANCESREPRODUCTIVE AGERESOURCE ALLOCATIONSRESOURCE FLOWSRESPECTRISK MANAGEMENTRURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL GROWTHRURAL HEALTHRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INEQUALITYRURAL INVESTMENTRURAL POORRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYRURAL ROADSRURAL SECTORRURAL WORKERSSAFETY NETSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSANITATIONSCARCE RESOURCESSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL-AGE CHILDRENSELF-RELIANCESERVICE CAPACITYSERVICE DELIVERYSEXSMALLHOLDER AGRICULTURESMALLHOLDERSSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL DIMENSIONSSOCIAL SERVICESTARGETINGTECHNICAL CAPACITYTRADITIONAL BIRTH ATTENDANTUNEMPLOYMENTUNIONSURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN POVERTYURBAN SETTLEMENTSURBAN WOMENURBANIZATIONVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSYOUNG CHILDRENYOUNG MENYOUNG WOMENWorld Bank10.1596/7863
