Good day,
From the 11th to the 18th of October you can make your voice count in the SADC PF virtual public hearings also highlighting the unique issues from the work that you do.
As the apex parliamentary body in SADC, the SADC PF facilitates a stronger connection between citizens and the regional integration process and building on the success of the inaugural public hearing session, SADC PF is hosting a second session to provide citizens with a platform to voice their opinions on regional issues of interest and concern.
Public hearings serve as a strategic opportunity to offer citizens a direct platform to share their lived experiences, express concerns, seek clarifications, and demand accountability. This, in turn, amplifies citizens' voices in the regional integration process, promotes inclusivity and strengthens democratic values.
Concerning Registration, kindly note that you can register using the link below 👇🏽
