IAPRI’s Vision is to see a “Zambia free of hunger, malnutrition and poverty through sustainable agricultural transformation”. The indicators of hunger, malnutrition and poverty still remain dire. Drastic changes need to be made on the ground to effectively reduce poverty. The only way this can be done is to make fact-based diagnoses and remedies. It is for this reason that IAPRI’s Mission is “to provide evidence-based policy solutions through high quality research and outreach services for the transformation of Zambia’s agricultural sector to achieve sustainable broad-based pro-poor growth”.
