Abstract

This technical assistance report on Zambia discusses the governance and anti-corruption assessment. Acknowledging the need to address corruption, strengthen governance and the rule of law, the President and authorities of Zambia have announced a series of important initiatives. Consistently high fiscal deficits, inefficient public investment and weak controls on spending led to Zambia accumulating large fiscal and external imbalances. In the challenging environment, the authorities sought the IMF’s assistance to analyse governance weaknesses and corruption vulnerabilities and make specific, country-tailored and feasible recommendations to address governance and corruption risks in wide-ranging areas. The report identifies on near-term reform steps and structural policy measures that require more time and resources but are necessary for sustainable change. All recommendations coming out of the diagnostic shall contribute to the formulation of governance and anticorruption policies and programs, improvement of the legal and institutional frameworks, as well as governance and anti-corruption reform measures agreed to in the Extended Credit Facility Arrangement for Zambia.
