Abstract: Successive Zambian governments have committed to coordinated, all-inclusive developing planning to assure food and nutrition security and reduce poverty. Despite these efforts, questions remain around policy coherence and consistency in the agricultural sector and this—it is argued—is likely to crowd out private sector investment and engagement in the sector. This paper addresses several questions around the policy processes space in Zambia. What drives policy change? How does it happen? What accounts for the policy reversals or failure to fully adopt agreed upon policy changes?
