DELIVERING FOR THE PEOPLE.

The Presidential Delivery Unit was set up to fast track development priorities and deliver better public services, prosperity, and lasting benefits to all Zambians.

Having consulted extensively with government ministries, agencies, NGOs, the private sector, and other stakeholders, we have identified nine priority areas that matter most to Zambia’s development. These priorities are in line with the 8th National Development Plan and are coupled with key deliverables and competitive timeframes that will deliver meaningful change to citizens.
