As we wind up the first quarter of the year, we are glad to share with you all, our activities during this period. During the first quarter, we focused on disseminating study findings of completed research projects; this was done through conferences, seminar presentations, and Journal publications. In this newsletter, we report on the key findings of our research on Corruption in the Construction Sector, which was a collaborative project between the Institute of Economic and Social Research and the School of Engineering. The study found that respondents perceived corruption in the construction sector to be rife; this was partly attributed to the misinterpretation of some of Zambia’s cultural norms and practices. This newsletter also reports on findings of a study on National Evaluation of the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) Programme. The study found that the PMTCT program was quite successful at minimizing vertical transmission among women who initiate and are retained in PMTCT care at study facilities. In our bid to share our research outputs, INESOR was part of an African Labour Experts’ del-egation that discussed the World Economic Outlook Report during the 2018 World Bank/ In-ternational Monetary Fund Trade Union Advisory Committee meeting in Washington D.C; and INESOR further discussed the credibility and ethical dimensions of online media newspa-pers in Zambia at the 2nd African Conference of the International Telecommunications Society in Lusaka, Zambia. As always, we remain committed to collaborating with both Government and Non-Governmental Organizations in generating and sharing knowledge in our six (6) areas of focus: Agriculture and Rural Development, Economic and Business, Health Promotion, Socio-cultural, Governance and Urban Development

We hope that you will enjoy reading about what we do as a universi-ty research Institute. Not having published our newsletter for some time has given us an opportunity to reflect on the best ways in which we can im-prove information sharing on this platform. This being the case, you will notice some changes in our layout and information packaging. This is meant to en-sure that our packaging of research information does not only attend to scholarly and policy interests but that it is user-friendly, easier to follow, interesting and enjoyable for a wider au-dience. In this edition, we share information on some research projects and related activities such as publications, research symposia, workshops and conferences that are dealing with pertinent development questions, and promoting knowledge generation, impartation, academic ex-change and interface with society. We wish to reiterate our commitment to contributing to national development on the six (6) thematic areas of our research, namely; Agriculture and Rural Development, Economic and Business, Health Promotion, Socio– cultural, Governance and Urban Development with sup-port from our key stakeholders and Co-operating partners. We will endeavour to generate evi-dence-based information and ensure it is widely disseminated through various channels, in-cluding this newsletter. We value your feedback on the work we are doing and the packaging of the information in this newsletter. Should you have any suggestions and comments concerning this publication, please feel free to get in touch with us. Pleasant reading! Grayson Koyi (Mr.) Acting Director
