Zambia: Civil society meet on Commission for Africa

What is the real motive and agenda of the Tony Blair's Commission for Africa? In what way does the CFA differ from pervious similar initiatives? And what is the likelihood of real change resulting from the work of the CFA? These were some of the questions raised at a Southern Africa civil society consultation held in Zambia in December. Participants drawn from civil society groups from Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zimbabwe and Zambia itself attended the event.
