Getting Zambia to Work (Hardcover, New)

Getting Zambia to Work examines some critical issues in Zambia's recent history, including the country's unhealthy dependency on 'foreign largess' and their implications for national self-assertion, social self-reliance and sustainable development. The book suggests practical and simple ways in which Zambia could lift itself out of its current underdevelopment trap. Though most of the proposed solutions do not require huge investments in new money, they do however require improved transparency and accountability in the use of existing resources. ________________________________________ Chisanga Puta-Chekwe was born at Nchanga in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia.
