MINEDAF VII and Other Initiatives
SADC - Southern
African Development Community
SADC
Meeting of Experts (Lusaka, Zambia, 19-21 June 2000)
The annual SADC Senior Officials Meeting (also known as the
Meeting of Experts) is attended by the top
decision-makers of Ministries, in the case of the HRD Sector, mainly Permanent Secretaries (also known as Principal Secretaries or Director-Generals) of the SADC Ministries of Education. The meeting provides input and recommendations to the
Meeting of Ministers, which is usually held immediately after the Senior Officials Meeting.
This year’s meeting was attended by Representatives of most of the 14 SADC Member States (except Angola, DRC and Mauritius). The Meetings of Senior Officials usually cover many
subjects and actions related to the implementation of the SADC Protocol on Education and Training (this document is available for download at
the MINEDAF
Document Service). The agenda for this year’s meeting was lengthy.
Mr. M. Mbamba, Director, UNESCO Harare Office, UNESCO’s SADC Focal
Point, was expected to attend the Lusaka Meeting together with the Executive
Secretary, Intergovernmental Committee, MINEDAF VII, however, due to a security embargo
on travel just before the recent Zimbabwe General Elections Mr. Mbamba had to cancel.
