Zambia


The Challenge

Zambia has struggled to stay on a steady, broad-based path of economic and social development. Some 78% of Zambians live on less than a dollar a day with little access to education and basic health services. HIV/AIDS is destroying families, institutions, and Zambia's ability to achieve sustainable development. The incidence of malaria has tripled since the 1980s and is the leading cause of death for children under age five. Zambia's corruption levels are perceived to be among the highest in the world. To break the vicious circle of poverty, disease and corruption, USAID uses a multi-sectoral, integrated approach focusing on health, HIV/AIDS, education, economic growth, and democracy and governance. Aside from using grants and contracts, USAID leverages significant additional resources using the Global Development Alliance mechanism to create public-private partnerships and the Development Credit Authority to increase the financial sector's participation.
