Includes bibliographical references. / This study set out to establish statistical relationships between matters relating to governance and changes in Zambia’s socioeconomic development. With the aid of survey data compiled by the World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Indicators, and perceptions of governance amongst Zambian citizens obtained from Round 5 of the Afrobarometer survey, this study used quantitative research methods to investigate the performance of indicators of governance in Zambia between 1996 and 2012 and the perceptions that Zambians had toward matters relating to governance. The indicators and perceptions of governance were based on measures of Control of Corruption, Government Effectiveness, Rule of Law and Voice and Accountability. The study further addressed the changes in Zambia’s socioeconomic development by investigating trends in Zambia’s Human Development Index between 1996 and 2012. The study also established the extent of lived poverty in Zambia by addressing how Zambians rated their living conditions based on how much access they had to essential commodities such as food, cooking fuel, water and cash income.
