@greengovzw1 @ZiFMStereo @3KtvZim Day 3 starts with a safeguarding talk given by Carol Mutsago of @zccinzim encouraging us to continue the shared brotherhood in our program today and beyond. #Solidarity is key at the #PeoplesSummit

@greengovzw1 @ZiFMStereo @3KtvZim @zccinzim The #UNTaxConvention should enable #SADC to control their resources, increase local value & improve the benefit for general citizens.

@greengovzw1 @ZiFMStereo @3KtvZim @zccinzim The problem of the Natural Resource Curse is not unique across the Southern Region. From Gold, Diamonds, Lithium, Cobalt, Copper & Gas, the region has it all but benefits nothing.

Day 2 of the #PeoplesSummit has begun. We have sessions running concurrently on Gender, Climate & Economic Justice.

@greengovzw1 are screening a documentary on the effects of extreme weather such as Cyclone Idai which ravaged 🇿🇼&🇲🇿. This tragedy speaks to the increasingly problematic effects of climate change. #PeoplePower #ReclaimingSADC

How does the region ensure we gain transacting & negotiation power to allow us to negotiate with an upper hand against the Global North?

7 days to go to the #DebtConference! Diarise and join us as we deliberate on the current burden that our economy is faced by. #DebtJustice is key because debt limits the ability of government to invest in development while directing resources to repayment. #Youth4Integrity
