According to him, the support to economic governance will aim at contributing to improving the business and enabling the investment climate in the country.

Jacek Jankowski, EU Ambassador to Zambia, who signed on behalf of the European body, said the signing of the two agreements will improve government’s service delivery to the private sector and the public at large.

The EU envoy noted that the organization will support Zambia by contributing to the creation of favourable conditions for private sector development.

According to him, the overall business environment in Zambia and investment climate has remained challenging to support and accelerate private sector growth.
