With the help of the ARDL bounds test approach, the analysis of the effect of sectoral value added on economic growth in Zambia was made for the period 1994 – 2021. It has been observed that agriculture, industry and service sectors have a positive effect on economic growth in the long run. The effect of imports on economic growth was negative as expected, while the manufacturing sector and exports were found to be insignificant. The same relationship between imports and growth is also found in the short run. All other independent variables were found to have no effect on economic growth in the short run. For this reason, promotion of agriculture, industry and service sectors should be given priority for long-term impact.
