Phase I
Next Phase of CREW Project
Expectations from NRG Team



First Phase of the CREW project, which is the
diagnostic phase mainly consisted of research on
the institutional environment, reform efforts, and
market structure of these sectors in Zambia and an
assessment of the impact of competition reforms
on consumers and producers.
Findings from the research will feed into preparing
the Diagnostic Country Report
Once the draft DCR is ready, it will be shared
across with NRG members and any other relevant
stakeholders to provide inputs, suggestions and
recommendations.

The principle in CUTS is that any findings
from research will not only be tied to the two
sectors, but that they can also be useful in
other sectors as well



In the next phase of the project, CUTS will
start preparations on developing the toolkit
The findings of the DCR will feed into the
toolkit which will be used in assessing
competition reforms in developing countries
CUTS will also prepare a framework of
competition reforms (FCR) which will give an
outline of the project findings from the
research which will be shared by the end of
July


NRG members are expected to provide input
on how the findings from the DCR can be
taken forward
We also expect that you will play an active
role in any policy level advocacy initiatives for
the research findings and garner buy in from
all the relevant stakeholders eg. Govt,
Regulators and other CSO’s


Country specific NRG meetings will also be
held where NRG members will be expected to
discuss the FCR.
Inputs and buy in from the NRG members at
every stage of the project is critical for this
project and it also brings in the aspect of
ownership for the NRG members.
Thank You
