Picture
The Republic of Zambia gained independence in 1964 had has enjoyed no civil strife since then. Zambia’s economy has been impacted by a decline in the purchasing power of its copper resources and a decline in per capita income from US$752 in 1965 to US$351 in 2002. Zambia ranks 163 out of 175 on the Human Development Index.

An estimated 73 percent of the population lived below the official poverty line in 1998 compared to 70 percent in the early nineties.

In 2002, 39.5 percent of central government expenditures were financed through foreign grants and loans.

Life expectancy at birth in Zambia is 35.18 years and there is an adult HIV/AIDS prevalence rate of 21.5%. Zambia has been hit hard by HIV/AIDS and the pandemic has further weakened its ability to reduce poverty and over the past decade.
