This event is part of a series:

Development Dialogue Seminar Series

The Development Dialogue Seminar series is a Seminar Series hosted by TIPS. The Seminars offer a platform to share views and ideas on specific development issues and alternative policy strategies.

Though the Seminar programme has been designed for government officials for whom the themes tackled are of relevance, the Seminar in fact focuses on a wide range of topical development issues. The themes covered by the series span the informal economy, specific trade negotiation challenges, etc. The seminar series also attempts to offer perspectives from other countries in the region and beyond.

The Seminars are generally be held in the afternoon of the last Friday of the month. They will start at 14h00 and conclude at 15h30 though discussions can continue after 15h30. However, for international speakers, the seminars could be held on other days. Please refer to the programme on the home page.

Who can attend?

Government officials and others who contribute to policy are targeted by the Seminar series but all are welcome though places are limited.

If you would like to attend please contact ipeleng [at] tips [dot] org [dot] za. Please specify food allergies if any, as a light lunch will be served prior to the seminar.
