| Overview : Following the re-alignment of institutions by the Zambian Republican President to promote synergies in the planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and coordination of national development programmes and projects, the Ministry of Development Planning was created to coordinate among others; the setting up of the national vision, goals and development priorities and stimulate consensus among various stakeholders, the formulation of medium term development plans to promote integrated development at national, sectoral and regional levels and the identification, design and appraisal of public investments to facilitate attainment of development aspirations. To execute the above mandates, the Ministry’s institutional framework had to be provided. Among the other departmental set ups in the Ministry is the Public Investment Planning Department with the responsibility of providing oversight in the planning, designing and appraisal of national public investment programmes to facilitate development of/and effective implementation of programmes and projects. |
