Republic of Zambia Rapid eTrade Readiness Assessment

Republic of Zambia Rapid eTrade Readiness Assessment

Format *
The Zambia Rapid eTrade Readiness Assessment is the fourteenth such assessment conducted by UNCTAD and the second in Eastern and Southern Africa. There is significant potential for e-commerce development in Zambia. Despite the potential of e-commerce to boost productivity and increase access to new markets, several challenges and roadblocks remain. A relatively strong policy framework for information and communications technologies (ICT) has been established in Zambia, however current national development policies and strategies remain rather silent on e-commerce. Most policies and strategies are focused on e-government. At the same time, many of the actions taken by the Government to strengthen e-government, such as improving ICT infrastructure and related technologies, strengthening human resource development and developing the legal and regulatory frameworks for e-government, will also strengthen the enabling environment for e-commerce. Coordination across the different activities and initiatives is limited, however, and more effort is needed to increase collaboration across stakeholder groups.
