|a In its development agenda, the government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) is strongly committed to tackling gender inequality. To support this vision, the Eighth National Development Plan (8NDP) 2022-2026 identifies human and social development as fundamental to inclusive development, and as a central ingredient to help catapult the transformation of the country. To achieve gender parity, the GRZ has put in place a policy and legal framework to guide the implementation of gender-responsive programming. Some of these issues can be addressed through a stricter implementation of the current policy and legal frameworks; however, enforcing existing legal frameworks which seek to promote women's empowerment is not enough. The report provides an overview of gender inequalities as reflected across key areas of human endowments; access to economic opportunities; women ownership and control over assets; and voice and agency and concludes with several recommendations for addressing ways in which women remain disadvantaged, including promoting income-generating activities, facilitating women's entrepreneurship training, and strengthening interventions to end child marriage and teenage pregnancies. Pinpointed recommendations are offered for each. Since drivers of gender inequality are interrelated, moving forward, addressing the many areas of vulnerability requires a holistic, interdisciplinary approach
