KDP was founded in the UK and has its roots in Zambia, where we have established KDP-Zambia Limited as a locally registered company. We provide political economy analysis and support for working politically, as well as financial, administrative and logistical support for international organisations operating in Zambia.

Political Economy Analysis and Working Politically

​​

From our bases in Lusaka and Luanshya on Zambia’s Copperbelt, we draw on local consultancy and research expertise. Our associates in Rwanda, Malawi and Tanzania give us access to additional political economy analysis and research expertise across the region.

​

Our team brings experience in Zambia and across the region, including work for FCDO, SDC and the Embassy of Ireland. This has covered the politics of pharmaceuticals, transport, trade, mining, economic development and investment. In several assignments, the team has used this analysis to help local actors shape policy and put it into practice.
