Promoting job-rich urbanisation in Zambia

The findings and policy proposals presented in this report are embedded in an understanding of the nature of the jobs challenge in urban areas of Zambia and also draw on examples of international good practice. However, the proposals are not intended to be exhaustive. Moreover, these policy ideas and suggestions are presented as a basis for further debate. Further exploration of specific policy proposals and strategies is warranted. The Zambia Institute for Policy Analysis and Research, through its Flagship Project on More and Better Jobs, will undertake some of this further research to offer more detailed policy proposals in some priority areas. These areas will be identified based on the responses to this paper from key stakeholders in Zambia.
