Editor’s Note

Hi everyone, welcome to the second edition of our 2016 Paitim TalkTok Newsletter. This bulletin contains information about the work of the CIMC spreading over the last three months of the third quarter of the year since June.

The tough economic situation experienced in the country has greatly affected the work of the CIMC Secretariat resulting in some of its planned activities being stalled. This includes the planned annual Regional Development Forums. However we are pleased to announce that the National Development Forum will be conducted later in October and the highlights will be clarified in the last quarterly for this year.

What is provided here encompasses some of the events and activities carried out by the CIMC during the three months entailing outcomes from the discussions and recommendations from Sectoral Committee meetings and those coming through the CIMC Council meeting.

More information on other planned activities will be provided in the final issue. We hope you will appreciate the work of the CIMC through the information provided in this and other issues.
