Despite being the oldest park in Zambia, the Kafue National Park remains underdeveloped compared to other parks such as South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi. Perhaps, the mere size of the park, being the largest in Zambia, has been a hindrance in itself, as development efforts have been short-term, small-scale and far between. This, however, is changing rapidly. Today, the Kafue National Park is benefiting from the international support of the World Bank, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and the Danish International Development Assistance (DANIDA). Nationally, the donor programmes are being implemented by Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA), with the assistance of local communities through Community-Based Natural Resources Management (CBNRM) projects.
