The Zambia Strategic Country Gender Assessment (ZSCGA) is the principal means by which Zambia and the Bank, and other development partners, participate in a collaborative process to:
-
analyze the gender dimensions of development in the country;
-
identify gender-responsive policies and actions important for poverty reduction, economic growth, human well-being, and development effectiveness; and
-
integrate these policies and actions into policy dialogue and country assistance programs.
While principally responding to the Bank’s priorities, this SCGA addresses key areas for intervention by the Government of Zambia and its development partners, specifically the donor community and civil society including national and
international non governmental organizations (NGO), as well as the private sector. The ZSCGA provides a novel opportunity for partnership among various players, recognizing that each player has their own specific role and strength to bring to a
program.
