| Summary: | The Social Recovery Project (SRP)
supports small, simple and locally-generated community-based
projects that improve infrastructure and service delivery to
the poor during the adjustment period in Zambia. Communities
themselves prioritize their needs, identify solutions,
organize themselves, contribute in cash and kind and
initiate activities that provide solutions to their
problems. The first community-based project was financed by
the first Social Recovery Project in early 1992. The second
Social Recovery Project was negotiated and became effective
in 1995. In 1997 two further facilities were made available
for community-based roads and environment projects. The
Microprojects Unit (MPU), based in the Ministry of Finance
and Economic Development, provides the institutional base of
the Social Recovery Project. The MPU is a small
semi-autonomous unit with a network of regional offices
throughout the country, which support and facilitate
district and community activities. |
