Zambia and Ghana have been classified as middle income countries by the World Bank. Low income countries have an average gross national income (GNI) of less than $1,005 a person per year. Lower middle-income countries are those with per capita GNIs of between $1,006 and $3,975 per year. Upper middle-income countries are those with per capita GNIs between $3,976 and $12, 275. The report says that even if Zambia and Ghana are not on track to meet their Millennium Development Goals, the quality of life in each country is certainly improving.
