dc.description.abstractThe Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) compiles the Basic Needs Basket for a family of six in Lusaka every month. This is an effort aimed at giving a picture of the struggle confronting households in meeting their daily essential needs. The Basic Needs Basket shows the relationship between household incomes and requirements for basic human survival. It highlights the cost of food and essential non-food items. According to estimates of the cost of the Basic Needs Basket for the month of August, the total cost of food and essential non-food items is K1,014,500. Food only, that is, mealie meal, beans, kapenta, vegetables, bread, eggs, sugar, etc., is costing K367,700. The cost of food only has gone up by K10,500 from the July cost of K357,200.
