North West prepares to host anti-poverty workshop

Bernadette Malala told Mmegi this week that preparations for hosting the three-day event on small micro-orientated poverty reduction strategies are at an advance stage. She said committees have been set up to handle the expected 1,000 participants from places such as Okavango, Ngami, Maun, Phuduhudu and Somelo.

 "So far we have formed subordinate committees that form part of the usual District Development Committee and they are logistics, catering, accommodation, transport, publicity, invitees and protocol, budget (that will oversee the expenditure and allocation of payments) incurring from the organisation of the workshops," she said.
