Even though a statistical system has existed in Zambia since 1964, the PRSP process has enabled stakeholders rethink over the need to strengthen the system to accommodate new demands and challenges. This is true for the need to improve coordination of poverty monitoring and analysis.
The user-producer workshop provided an opportunity to strengthen the draft poverty monitoring and evaluation chapter of the Zambian PRSP.
