For reforms to be beneficial, regulatory regimes need to be transparent, coherent, and comprehensive. They must establish appropriate institutional frameworks and liberalized business regulations; enforce competition policy and law; and open external and internal markets to trade and investment. This report examines the institutional set-up for and use of regulatory policy instruments in Zambia. It is one of five reports prepared on countries in East and Southern Africa (the others are on Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania). The report is based on a review of public documents prepared by the government, donors, and the private sector, and on a limited number of interviews with key institutions and individuals.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGADMINISTRATIVE BURDENSADVISORY SERVICESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONALTERNATIVES TO REGULATIONAMENDMENTANTI-CORRUPTIONASSETSATTORNEY GENERALAUDITORAUDITSBEST PRACTICEBUREAUCRATIC DISCRETIONBUSINESS CLIMATEBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS FACILITATIONBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESCABINET APPROVALCABINET DECISIONCABINET OFFICECABINET SECRETARYCAPACITY BUILDINGCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCODE OF CONDUCTCOLLAPSECOMMERCECOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMPETITION POLICYCOMPETITIVE MARKETSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPETITORSCOMPLAINTSCONFIDENCECONSULTATIONCONSULTATION PROCEDURESCONSULTATION PROCESSCONSULTATIONSCONSULTATIVE PROCESSCOPYRIGHTCORRUPTCORRUPT PRACTICESCORRUPTION PREVENTIONCOST-EFFECTIVENESSCRIMECUSTOMCUSTOMSDEBTDEMOCRACYDEPUTY MINISTERDEPUTY MINISTERSDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDISCRETIONDRAFT LEGISLATIONDRAFT POLICYE-MAILECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC POLICIESECONOMICSENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONENTERPRISE SURVEYENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTSEQUIPMENTEXPENDITURESFIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTIONFINANCIAL IMPLICATIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFOREIGN AFFAIRSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT ACTIONGOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATIONGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT INTERVENTIONGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT POLICYGOVERNMENT PRIORITIESGROWTH PATHGUIDELINES FOR REGULATORSICTIMPLEMENTATION PLANINCOME INEQUALITIESINFORMAL CONSULTATIONINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINITIATIVEINNOVATIONINSPECTIONINSPECTION PROCEDURESINSTITUTIONINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKSINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICEINTERNATIONAL BUSINESSINTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVESTIGATIONSINVESTIGATORJUDICIAL SYSTEMJUDICIARYJUSTICEJUSTICESLAWSLAWYERLAWYERSLEGAL AIDLEGAL ENVIRONMENTLEGAL SERVICESLEGAL SYSTEMLEGISLATIONLEGISLATIVE POWERLICENSESMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMEDIAMEDIUM ENTERPRISESMINISTERMINISTERSMONOPOLYONE-STOP SHOPPATENTSPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY COMMITTEEPOLICY CONSULTATIONSPOLICY DECISIONSPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY DEVELOPMENT PROCESSPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLICY GOALSPOLICY INSTRUMENTPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLICY PROPOSALPOLICY PROPOSALSPOLICY STATEMENTSPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRIVATIZATIONPROCEDURAL MECHANISMSPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT POLICYPROSECUTIONSPUBLIC CONSULTATIONSPUBLIC DOCUMENTSPUBLIC DOMAINPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC PRESSUREPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SUPPORTQUALITY REGULATIONQUALITY STANDARDSQUERIESREGULATORSREGULATORY ACTIVITIESREGULATORY ACTIVITYREGULATORY AGENCIESREGULATORY ALTERNATIVESREGULATORY COMPLIANCEREGULATORY DECISIONSREGULATORY DEVELOPMENTREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY FUNCTIONSREGULATORY IMPACTREGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSISREGULATORY IMPACT ASSESSMENTREGULATORY INSTRUMENTSREGULATORY MANAGEMENTREGULATORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMREGULATORY POLICIESREGULATORY POLICYREGULATORY PRACTICESREGULATORY PROCESSREGULATORY PROCESSESREGULATORY REFORMREGULATORY REFORM POLICYREGULATORY REFORMSREGULATORY REGIMEREGULATORY REGIMESREGULATORY RESPONSIBILITIESREGULATORY SYSTEMRESULTSANCTIONSSECURE ACCESSSENIOR MANAGEMENTSERVICE DELIVERYSTAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONSTANDARDIZATIONSTATUTORY INSTRUMENTSSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTTARGETSTAX RATESTAX REFORMTAXPAYERSTECHNICAL EXPERTSTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELEPHONETRADE FACILITATIONTRANSPARENCYVOLUNTARY COMPLIANCEWEALTH CREATIONWWWReportWorld Bank10.1596/27866
