Zambia: Technical Assistance Report-Towards an Integrated Legal Framework for Public Financial Management

International Monetary Fund

No 2015/240, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: This Technical Assistance report proposes a roadmap for completing the process of drafting and adopting an Integrated Legal Framework for Public Financial Management (PFM) in Zambia. The legal framework for PFM in Zambia is fragmented, and much of it is outdated. The government has prioritized a revision of the existing legal framework for PFM and national development planning. This revision will permit a range of important PFM reforms that are ongoing or planned to be incorporated within the legal framework. An updated legal framework would also permit other important improvements in current practices to be incorporated.
