To Grow Zambia’s Economy: Requires Policy-Action Interplay, As Strong Combination Therapy
Growing Zambia’s economy cannot rely on a one-size-fits-all model.
The nation’s developmental path must adopt what can be termed a combination therapy system with one that harmonizes local capacity with foreign expertise.
Zambia’s economic transformation depends on crafting a unique blend between domestic innovation, regional integration, and international collaboration.
Local entrepreneurs and SMEs hold the cultural insight, adaptability, and commitment to drive inclusive growth, while foreign investors bring the capital, technology and market access needed to scale these efforts.
The key lies in designing policies that create synergy rather than dependency where both local and foreign players complement each other within a shared vision for industrialization, value addition, and job creation.
This approach not only diversifies Zambia’s growth base but also ensures resilience in a rapidly changing global economy.
By building a partnership-driven model that leverages the best of both worlds, Zambia can establish a sustainable and competitive economic future anchored in shared prosperity.
