The Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) is a government institution focused on enhancing trade, investment, and enterprise development across Zambia. Operating under the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry, it aims to strengthen the country’s investment climate to attract capital, support job creation, and advance the growth of the MSME sector. ZDA was established by the ZDA Act No. 11 of 2006 and began operations in 2007 after merging five statutory bodies with the goal of fostering synergies and improving service delivery. Based in Lusaka, the agency pursues a one-stop-shop model to streamline business processes and reduce the cost of engaging with public services. Its activities target both local enterprises and international investors seeking to trade with, invest in, or establish operations in Zambia. In 2026, ZDA advanced its external engagements through a landmark memorandum of understanding with Imbono to boost investment and job creation.
