I wish also to acknowledge the great hospitality the Institute continues to receive from the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Dr. Gideon Gono that enables us to convene effectively in Harare. Your presence here today, Honourable Governor, further demonstrates the very commitment you have for the intended success of MEFMI. 2.
Ladies and Gentlemen: MEFMI Fellows Development Programme was conceived as a flagship to address the capacity needs of the region in terms of the development of local and regional expertise.
