Centre for Trade Policy and
Development- CTPD says the 2024 national budget has some positive
announcements, but it does not adequately provide a clear roadmap to addressing
the cost of living and major challenges in key sectors that earmarked to drive
socio-economic development.
Speaking at the media briefing in
Lusaka today, CTPD Programmes Coordinator Natalie Kaunda says are significant
areas of concern that need attention such as the imperative to address private
debt issues effectively and the necessity of operationalizing the sinking fund
for better financial management.
Mrs Kaunda said CTPD underscores the
importance of establishing Clear production goals in the agricultural sector to
ensure food security and tackle rising food costs.
In order to secure food security and
combat rising food costs, the centre has counseled the government and
emphasized the importance of defining clear production goals in the
agricultural sector.
She has further urged government to
enact the Tobacco control legislation Bill and implement access to information
law to enhance transparency in governance.
