ZEEP is an overarching and integrated Government project that is premised on addressing the most critical needs of the Ministry based on empirically identified sector challenges. It builds on previous efforts and undertakes a deep dive in attempting to address these manifest challenges.

The interventions are focused and targeted and take a holistic approach. The clearly elaborated results chain provides a framework for monitoring the project delivery and progress. The additional innovation for ZEEP is the use of results-based funding mechanism that provides opportunities for the project only to receive funding if it on course in the attainment of the defined desired results.
