Local government finance under Zambia's 2016 constitution

Magister Philosophiae - MPhil (Law) / When Zambia got its independence in 1964, there was neither a constitutional reference to
local government nor constitutional provisions for local government finance. However, the
new Zambian government inherited a relatively stable local government finance system. One
year after Independence, councils operated under a new effected Local Government Act of
1965. The period 1965 to 1973 was a period of great success for local government, as it
continued to enjoy stable and strong fiscal resources. Councils raised adequate own revenues
from sources such as local electricity, water, housing and motor vehicle licensing. Local
government also received adequate grants from the central government which were targeted
for the development of each Council.
