Zambia Eighth National Development Plan 2022-2026
The Eighth National Development Plan (8NDP) outlines Zambia’s developmental priorities and implementation strategies for 2022 to 2026, succeeding the Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP) in the nation’s journey towards achieving the Vision 2030 of becoming a prosperous middle-income country. Acting as a pivotal step towards this vision, the 8NDP aligns with international and regional commitments such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Africa Union Agenda 2063, SADC Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP), and COMESA protocols. Formulated amidst challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the plan addresses persistent socio-economic issues like low economic diversification, high youth unemployment, poverty, inequality, slow decentralization, and inadequate access to social services. To overcome these challenges and realize the Vision 2030, the 8NDP introduces strategic interventions focused on Economic Transformation and Job Creation, Human and Social Development, Environmental Sustainability, and Good Governance Environment.
