Average days to process tourism licenses issues at MTENR new one-stop-shop	Value	90.00	90.00	60.00
	Date	June 25, 2004	August 5, 2011	November 30, 2011
	Comment		Progress has been made by GRZ including:1) Formal drafting of new Tourism & Hospitality Act that was based on internationalbestpractice and consultations with industry. 2) Construction of the One Stop Shop in Livingstone is ahead of schedule3) the OneStop Shop is now a joint initiative of MTENR and MCTI and will house a range of licensing authorities.While this represents solidprogress, the indicator can only be achieved after the THA is enacted. The Presidential election has delayed enactment, andtheMinistry of Justice advises that the proposed Act will go to Parliament in the first sitting of the new Government. However,this could betoo late for the SEED Project - which closes in November 2011.NOTE: New M&E Officer for project is updatingindicators values andthis information will be entered upon receipt.

	Date	January 3, 2006	August 5, 2011	November 30, 2011
	Comment	See breakdown below	A similar situation exists with respect to the Mines & Minerals Act. Specifically, (i) The Mines & Minerals Draft Act wasrewritten based on intl experience and consultations were held. However, this draft will not be submitted to Parliament due to theelectioncycle (and concerns about repealing/replacing an Act in an election year). (ii) Cadastre is operating but not effective.There arewidespread concerns with independence, efficacy & financial viablity of cadastre and related governance issues.Theconcerns aboutthecadastre were discussed with GRZ and while some technical progress was made (e.g. hiring of a firm to update &improve the software)the other issues are of a political nature and given the election season, are unlikely to be addressed.NOTE:New M&E Officer for project is updating indicators values and this information will be entered upon receipt.
