INTRODUCTION
The 1990s observed an uncoordinated, haphazard and incoherent sector approaches to planning in Zambia
Policy framework papers at institutional level guided development,
Formed the basis for prioritisation and resource allocations
Absence of inter-
sectoral
synergies
This necessitated the re-emergency of
long and medium-term national planning
in 2002. Slide3
INTRODUCTION CONT’D
Significant strides made towards coordinated development planning processes since 2002
Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) 2002 – 2004

Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP) 2006 -2010

What does it take to develop a National

evelopment
P
lan in Zambia?Slide5
APPROACH
Two approaches are used side by side
Top Down
Bottom Up
And both are enshrined in the sectoral and regional focus of development. Thus, development programmes in the NDP should spring from either of these areas
The interface with other sectors, provinces and districts is part of the chapter
development processSlide6
TOP DOWN
Top Down
Defining of Macroeconomic framework and setting of objectives and strategic focus
Fiscal
framework
General guidelines in terms of
ToRs
given to SAGs, PDCCs and DDCCsSlide7
TOP DOWN
The
ToRs
highlight key issues of reference in drafting chapters for inclusion in the National Development Plan and among other things include:-
Proposed programmes/policies should be aimed at achieving Vision 2030
Revision of sector past performance and its recommendations
Reviewing of
local and international
agreements, resolutions
and
treaties such as SDGs, NEPAD, COMESA etc. to ensure are incorporated in the NDP
Outline the roles that should be assigned to all identifiable
stakeholders
Cross cutting issues such as gender, environment etc are to be
enshrined
in programme designSlide8
BOTTOM UP
Bottom UP
Stakeholder participation is vital for the successful implementation of the development plan
Communities through DDCCs are engaged in meetings/workshops on the development issues affecting them and asked to recommend how these could be addressed
DDCCs hold meetings to discuss overall district development based on the issues from the communities
These DDCC meetings are special meetings as they may include participants not normally called to attend such as Councillors
District priorities are submitted to PDCC for considerationSlide9
BOTTOM UP
PDCCs compile DDCCs reports to formulate Provincial development priorities and this is submitted to Ministry of Finance for consideration and inclusion into the NDPSlide10
TYPES OF PLANS
Long term – National Vision which is 25years
Medium Term – National Development Plans which are 5 year long and are currently aimed at achieving Vision 2030
Medium Term Expenditure Framework – 3 years
Annual National Budgets, these
operationalise
the NDPs
Sector Specific Development Plans
Roads
Energy
Agriculture
Tourism
Education
Health
These vary in periods from 10 to 20 yearsSlide11
FORMULATION PROCESS OF NDPs
Process takes at least 2 years
Awareness & Sensitisations takes place throughout the design periodSlide12
IMPLEMENTATION OF NDPS
The financing frame of the NDP indicates resource requirements and sources
The Annual Budgets are the main tool of implementation of NDPs
Programmes and Projects in Sector and Regional chapters in the NDP are implemented by MPSAs
The plan covers a five year periodSlide13
MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Annual progress reports
Mid term review
Evaluation at the end of the Plan periodSlide14
CHALLENGES IN THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING PROCESS
The planning process until this year has been
adhoc
Without written down procedures, timelines and processes and manuals
Absence of a comprehensive legal framework
Weak linkages between NDPs and the MTEF
Weak linkages with different tiers of government
District, provincial, sector and national plans have limited synergiesSlide15
HOPE IS THERE
The development of the National Planning and Budgeting Policy, 2014 gives hope to address most of the challenges highlighted
The policy is the torch bearer for the enactment of the Planning and Budgeting legislationSlide16
