Key for the new government is the promotion of the professional middle classes. Honest lawyers will defend property and other human rights, police to fight corruption, engineers and surveyors to manage the growing built environment, tourism, health, media, finance and education experts. All these professions need to have strong links to independent and even international associations which govern their members’ professional behaviours. This then brings about a class of society strong enough to stand up to poor government and with an inherent desire to promote business from which it earns its living.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre website. It is very well designed and informative. I hope that the Zambia Development Agency website will be like that.

Hi Dave,

I agree with that, however, it is even more important to professionalize the huge informal sector, by making the environment for them such that they prefer to become official registered businesses.
We should see subsistence farmers go on to become medium size commercial farmers.
There should also be a use of mining profits into infrastructure and agriculture.
