SADC-UK 2013 Prosperity Event

The SADC-UK 2013 Prosperity Event took place at Lancaster House in London on 13th March where representatives of SADC, supported by Ernst & Young, outlined SADC's new Infrastructure Master Plan. The event was organised as a cooperation between the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) supported by Developing Markets Associates. 

120 pre-selected delegates, including private sector bodies and members of the home and overseas diplomatic corps, were briefed on the opportunities and projects available under the Master Plan. The key presentations were made by Eng João Caholo,  Deputy Executive Secretary of SADC; Eng Remmy Makumbe, Infrastructure and Services Director, and Ms Brunhilde Barnard of Ernst & Young who spoke about specific projects in the fields of Energy, Transport and Water (three of the six sectors covered under the Plan). Feedback from delegates, both on the day and subsequently, has been very positive.  SADC are planning a second event to take place in Maputo, Mozambique, in June 2013.
