Proceedings of the fifteenth Intergovernmental Committee of Experts (ICE) of Southern Africa

Abstract

The sub regional office for Southern Africa, which is based in Lusaka, Zambia, derives its programmatic direction and guidance from its Intergovernmental Committee of Experts (ICE) constituted by Commission Resolution 826 (XXXII) of May 1977 and General Assembly Resolution 40/243 to provide a forum for engaging with member States on policy and programme related matter. ICE-Southern Africa meets annually to oversee the overall formulation and implementation of the programme of work and priorities of the respective sub region and make recommendation on important development issues confronting the sub region. With respect to the theme of the meeting, delegates discussed at length various ways of harnessing domestic resources mobilization and proposed a number of measures to deepen domestic resource mobilization beyond the conventional economic and monetary stability. These have been summarized in a policy statement outlining a set of recommendations, to serve as a guide on actions to be undertaken by Stakeholders.
