The SADC-DFRC delegation was honoured to pay a courtesy call on Ms. Lovita Ramguttee, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative, reaffirming our shared commitment to advancing sustainable development across the SADC region.

The SADC-DFRC delegation was led by Mr. Zwelibanzi Sapula, Executive Director, and included Ms. Chazha Ludo Macheng, Executive Officer & Strategic Stakeholder Relations, and  Ms. Maipelo Stroh, Head of Capacity Building and Research.

The engagement provided an excellent platform to exchange ideas on areas of mutual interest, including strengthening collaboration on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), institutional capacity building, sustainable development finance, and regional partnerships. These discussions reflect a shared vision of building resilient institutions and fostering inclusive economic growth across the SADC region.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Ms. Lovita Ramguttee and the UNDP team for their warm hospitality, constructive dialogue, and openness to exploring opportunities for collaboration. We look forward to building on this engagement and translating these discussions into meaningful partnerships that deliver lasting impact for the people of the SADC region.
