The University of Zambia School of Law Book Project: Post Project Evaluation Report

Mwenda Silumesi

Stockholm: Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) (2008), 47 pp.

"In 2002, the Embassy of Sweden (EoS) and the School of Law (SoL) entered into an agreement which resulted into the School of Law Book Project (SoLBP). The objectives of the Project included; improving the teaching environment by ensuring that basic materials for each course were available, revampin ... g research among the staff, contributing to staff retention and recruitment, and, improving the management and administrative capacity of the SoL. The Project that commenced in December of 2002 was intended to run for a year but was extended twice ending in March of 2006 [...] It was concluded that the Project did achieve its goal of strengthening the teaching and learning environment in the SoL at the University of Zambia (UNZA). Having increased the levels of research activities among the lecturers chosen as authors of the books published under the Project, the resultant books were of great use to the lecturers, tutors and students in the SoL as they were; readily available, affordable to the students, up-to-date and most importantly made reference to Zambian Statutes and Case Law. This was the opposite of the imported books that were hard to come by, expensive and made no reference to Zambian Statutes and Case Law. The UNZA benefitted from the SoLBP in that it re-established itself as not only a training institution but also as a research institution capable of producing its own textbooks. The UNZA rose above other training institutions offering legal training as the other institutions incorporated the books into their curricular. These institutions include: the Zambia Institute of Advanced Legal Education (ZIALE), the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA), the Zambia Open University (ZOU) and the Cavendish University of Zambia (CUZ). The books have also found reference relevance among practising lawyers and Judges of the High Court of Zambia. However, the evaluation found that the project funds had been mismanaged, allegedly by the project staff and there was a court case brought against them by the SoL. This was attributed to the weak monitoring systems by the SoL in the third year of project implementation as the first two years have proved to have had these systems in place as indicated by proper funds management."
