Mission report: on the policy organs of the Eastern and Southern African Mineral Resrouces Development Centre (ESAMRDC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Committee of Mining Ministers

Abstract

The main objectives of the mission were to participate in the first meeting of the ESAMRDC Standing Committee of Officials and, as chairman of the SCO, to report to the 18Ih Governing Council. As these meetings of the policy organs of ESAMRDC were organized in conjunction with the meeting of the SADC Committee of Mining Ministers, it was decided that ECA will attend also this meeting with the view to ensuring that the decisions of the second Regional Conference of the African Ministers responsible for mineral and energy resources development are implemented.
