Reforming CDF (ZIPAR Response)

From Zambian Economist Fri Jul 25 2014, 16:37:00

Editor's note:  A very helpful response from ZIPAR on some of the questions that the were raised by Zambian Economist readers on Facebook and Twitter pages. You can also follow the discussion to the article below via Facebook.

CDF reform should begin with guaranteeing a fairer distribution of resources across Zambia- before embarking on more comprehensive reform.

On Monday we published an article calling for reform of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF). It argued that the CDF should be allocated on the basis of a measure of need with resources targeted on the most deprived constituencies. The original article is available here.This has provoked a series of interesting responses and comments which are welcome contributions to this important debate.
