Mokgophana Ramasobana chairing closing session of South African Monitoring Evaluation Association SAMEA conference - with Dr Candice Morkel Andrealisa Belzer, CE Josephine Watera, CE Victor Naidu. Stressing changes of mindsets, we need to be driving the change, what we do as a result of this event in changing our mindset, and the need to take the best of different knowledge systems. Need to reactivate the activist streak - start with where you are and do what you can. Move away from considering people as ‘beneficiaries’ and subjects but as people with agency. We mustn’t keep quiet but make more and more noise, at all levels. But how do we know and understand the systemic issues that we need to address?

AfCFTA Creating One African Market. My great honour to shed light on the agreement on air in the studio of Nile TV Egypt, the Egyptian Radio and Television Historical Building. African Continental Free Trade Area is the world’s largest free trade area bringing together the 55 countries of the African Union (AU) and eight (8) Regional Economic Communities (RECs). The overall mandate of the AfCFTA is to create a single continental market with a population of about 1.3 billion people and a combined GDP of approximately US$ 3.4 trillion. The AfCFTA is one of the flagship projects of Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want, the African Union’s long-term development strategy for transforming the continent into a global powerhouse.
