The 2-day meeting which embraced the theme ‘Dare To Share’, saw country representatives from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo, Mozambique and South Africa present innovations they had implemented in their project activities the previous year. The meeting not only facilitated learning from each other but also provided a networking platform as several bilateral talks were held to strengthen the region's delivery on 14 of its projects. An inspiring presentation from a consultant, Mr. Andrew Mnjama, on the emerging trends in the provision of financial services was also made.
