By The BalanceHub Editorial Team In recent years, Zambia’s fiscal story has shifted from aid dependence to a strong emphasis on domestic revenue mobilisation. At the heart of this transformation is the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA), whose growing performance has played a significant role in empowering the country to finance its development agenda.
