Welcome to the Zambia National Research Repository — your centralized digital platform for accessing a wealth of research and evaluation studies conducted in Zambia. It is dedicated to consolidating valuable research findings, fostering knowledge sharing, and supporting evidence-based decision-making to drive Zambia's development.

Our Purpose

The Zambia National Research Repository was established to create a unified space where research and evaluation outputs can be easily accessed, shared, and utilized by a broad range of stakeholders. Our key objectives include:

• Knowledge Sharing: By aggregating research findings and evaluations, the platform facilitates access to valuable information for policymakers, researchers, development practitioners, and the general public. This enables the dissemination of knowledge and promotes informed decision-making, ensuring that stakeholders are equipped with the most current and relevant insights.
• Improving Policy and Practice: With easy access to relevant and up-to-date research, stakeholders can use evidence-based information to shape policies and programs. The platform plays a crucial role in addressing key development challenges in Zambia by providing the necessary data to support effective and impactful decision-making.
• Promoting Collaboration: The repository provides a shared space for various stakeholders, including government agencies, academic institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and international partners, to share and collaborate on research. By fostering a collaborative research environment, it helps avoid duplication of efforts and promotes exchanging ideas and knowledge.
• Enhancing Research Visibility: By hosting a wide range of research outputs, the platform helps increase the visibility and impact of studies conducted in Zambia. Researchers and institutions can showcase their work, leading to greater recognition and potential funding opportunities, thus advancing the research landscape in the country.
• Data Preservation: the platform is a secure archive for research and evaluation data, ensuring that valuable information is preserved for future reference and use. This is critical for maintaining a historical record of research activities and outcomes, allowing for long-term learning and development.

Our Vision

The Zambia National Research Repository envisions a future where evidence-based research is at the heart of decision-making processes, leading to sustainable development and improved quality of life for all Zambians.
